Are we becoming a nation of “mobile workers”?
Just read an astonishing prediction: 40% of all professionals will have 1099 status by 2012. Temp to perm (especially for Boomers) is gaining strength as the strategy-of-choice toward earning a full time job in 2010. As companies are maintaining an extremely cautionary hiring posture, the 1099 route for many others will be the most effective strategy to pay the mortgage and put food on the table in 2010. Bill Bridges predicted this trend in his 1994 book, JobShift.
Moral of the story? Stay flexible, keep your skills current, define and advertise your strengths, build and nurture your network, and stay in the game!
