contract problem

[mahadi-hasan0]

I did a bid for a proposal the client hired me also but without giving me the opportunity to work & without any notification he ended the contract and hire another persons. What can I do now?

Nothing

Mahadi:

Keep in mind that clients are allowed to close (or "cancel") contracts ANY time they want, for ANY reason.

So Petra is correct: There is nothing "to do."

The client did nothing wrong.

However: If you have contracts with zero pay, this can reflect negatively on your JSS.

So STRATEGECALLY:

The correct thing for a freelancer to do with hourly contracts is to NEVER ACCEPT an hourly contract until you have enough information and/or input files to do at least ten minutes of work.

Then, when you accept the contract, do at least ten minutes of work.

Then if the client decides to clos the contract, you will have at least been paid SOMETHING, and that will be better for your JSS.

Preston H gave sound advice. I suggest perhaps take this as a learning experience and move on to the next one! Don't take stuff personally. Just do your best and keep going! Good luck!
