In case you hadn’t noticed, the freelance economy is taking off: more and more people are working for themselves as consultants, selling products or services and creating businesses on the side, even while working a full-time job.
Why freelancing is here to stay
While the news about the growth of the independent workforce continues to hit the blogosphere and traditional media outlets, some job seekers still haven’t embraced the opportunity to actively focus on sustainable, independent work.
Why you should freelance
In today’s economy, it isn’t always possible to land a traditional, 9-to-5 position in your target field. Many employers are hiring part-time or contract workers to handle the projects and work that full-time employees once did. As a result, competition is fierce, and, in some industries, it may be futile to search for typical jobs.
