We've just finished reviewing the changes occurring in employment today, and the prognosis is clear -- fewer full-time jobs with benefits, and more self-employment-like opportunities where people work for themselves. Coincidentally, Intuit (the people behind Quicken) have published a well-researched and footnoted report that aligns nicely with what we've covered here (click to read…

Sometimes I feel fantastic and sometimes I feel like I am in the deep end of the pool and someone is offering me a glass of water, not a life preserver. I'm looking for some advice from everyone out there. If you've got some time would you please answer the following for me:

1. How do you find new clients?
2. Is there one particular online service you can't imagine doing without as a…

I still remember the feeling to this day. The gut wrenching feeling that comes with redundancy is unlike anything I had ever felt before.

It was the winter of 1991. I was doing pretty well at my job. Or so I thought. I was an Account Manager for one of the UK’s leading recruitment marketing agencies and looked after…
