This article focuses on the issues of everyday work as a self-employed, professional freelancer in Poland. The appearance of this specific category of workers on the labor market is connected with certain major changes on the economic, technological, and socio-cultural levels. The career of a freelancer is sometimes considered to be an antithesis of a corporate career. The key points are: working on one’s own, functioning outside the traditional organizational structures, HR management and supervision, promotion procedures, corporate career paths, et cetera. For a freelancer, the organization is not “an employer,” but rather “a client” or “a business partner.” The manager of the organization is not “his boss” and the employees are not his “colleagues.” As we can observe, most of the typical boundaries of a career are blurred here and that is one of the reasons why it arouses curiosity as an unusual phenomenon. The article aims to present a sociological perspective regarding the career of a freelancer in Poland. A framework of symbolic interactionism and grounded theory were applied to the author’s research (conducted in 2009-14) on which the article is based. Its first part focuses on the theoretical background and the methods that were used to collect and analyze data. The second part includes some of the author’s findings and conclusions on a freelance career from the interactionist perspective, as well as a discussion about the possible agreement and discrepancies between the author’s understanding of freelance against the widely discussed concept of precarity.

Używane w prawie i literaturze terminy „wolny zawód” i „zawód zaufania publicznego” nie zostały zdefiniowane, dlatego też stosowane są często zamiennie. Określają one jednak dwie różne grupy zawodów, zatem nie powinny być używane jako synonimy. Brak definicji tych pojęć stwarza wiele wątpliwości, których wyjaśnienie jest bardzo istotne ponieważ przyznanie określonemu zawodowi statusu „zawodu zaufania publicznego” wiąże się z przyznaniem mu pewnych istotnych przywilejów, obowiązków, ale i ograniczeń. Chodzi m.in. o możliwość tworzenia dla nich samorządów zawodowych upoważnionych do reprezentowania osób wykonujących te zawody i sprawujących pieczę nad należytym ich wykonywaniem w granicach interesu publicznego i dla jego ochrony. Powyższe z kolei, może pociągać za sobą konieczność wprowadzenia wielu ograniczeń zarówno w zakresie wolności wykonywania zawodu, jak i wolności podejmowania działalności gospodarczej, jeżeli z działalnością taką wykonywanie zawodu miałoby się wiązać.

The terms ‘liberal profession’ and ‘profession of public trust’ used in law and literature have not been defined, and therefore are often used interchangeably. However, they define two different occupational groups, so they should not be used as synonyms. The lack of a definition of these concepts creates a lot of doubts, the explanation of which is very important because granting a given profession the status of “profession of public trust” is associated with granting it certain important privileges, obligations, but also restrictions. It regards, among others for the possibility of creating professional self-governments authorized to represent persons exercising these professions and overseeing their proper performance within the limits of the public interest and for its protection. The above, may entail the need to introduce many restrictions both in the scope of freedom to practice a profession and the freedom to start a business, if such activity would be related to such activity.
