Edited by the National Business Employment Weekly, today's leading career resource, the NBEW Guide to Self-Employment tells you how to benefit from the downsizing and reorganizing work trend, exploring such specific career alternatives as consulting, freelancing, temping, buying or launching a business, purchasing a franchise, and others.

Key topics covered include:

  • Starting a business, including market research, planning, financing, and more
  • Setting up your work environment, including office space and equipment needs, professional services, network resources, and hiring

  • Launching a consulting practice—defining your services and markets, selling yourself, pricing, billing, and building a clientele
  • Professional temping and outsourcing—how and when they work best

Supplemented with dozens of useful case studies and handy resource materials, the NBEW Guide to Self-Employment offers a complete and in-dispensable look into a whole new world of career opportunities outside corporate life.
