Unlike the last time she searched for work in 2004, the
marketing professional says she didn't visit any of the big job boards like
Monster.com or CareerBuilder.com. "I learned that you are a lot more apt
to find companies that are serious about hiring and know exactly what they
want at the niche sites," says Ms. Rempel, now
a manager at iWin Inc., an online entertainment
company in San Francisco.
Now's a good time to
jump into self-employment as an independent consultant -- at least for some
professions. In the continuing
effort to comply with laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley and the health-privacy act
known as HIPAA, companies increasingly turn to independent contractors. Plus,
companies now see independent pros as a way to fill in talent gaps in their
own organizations. |
