        How to Create a Resume When You’re Self-Employed (Part 1/3)

        If you’re a freelancer thinking of crossing over into the world of traditional employment, or if you straddle both worlds, you have to think about presenting self-employment on your resume.

        One might be tempted to take an “it-is-what-it-is” approach, just plopping the experience into your resume.

          Don’t Buy Into the Dual-Monitor Productivity Myth

            One of the worst things about being a freelancer is you make your own hours.

            If there is one thing I’ve learned over the many years I’ve been working for myself, it’s that you need to find different ways to motivate yourself.

            This actually applies to working in an office as well, but I find having meetings and coworkers who count on you tend to act as motivation most days.

            As a freelancer, you’re often on your own — in a coffee house or home office — and the people counting on you are far away. Maybe you’ve never even met them in person. Click Here to Read Article …

                The Best Software to Integrate Video Conferencing Into Your Office

                If your business has any remote workers, the ability to communicate with your employees is an integral part of your success.
