Why contract and freelance jobs will be the first to recover
With Catherine Byers Breet – Consultant recruiter, sales dude & coach since 1997
I’ve never seen a healthcare crisis like this before, but I HAVE seen the job market blow up over night before. 5 times. After 22 years in the consulting + recruiting industries, I’ve been through 5 tough economic markets (big jump in unemployment, skittish employers, fewer jobs). Here’s what I can tell you: as the shut down orders ease and jobs start to come back, the majority of the new job openings will not be full-time positions. They will be temporary / contract jobs for freelancers, contractors and consultants. Why? That’s what today’s live stream is all about. I will share insights & tips on a lot of things:
