The world of work is changing quickly. We can no longer be sure of full employment and job security for the rest of our lives. Temporary and part-time work are becoming more and more common, and companies are shedding staff and using flexible, adaptable labour as and when they need it. Today nearly a tenth of workers in Britain are self-employed. This book offers encouragement, advice and support to anyone seriously considering breaking away from the world of bosses, salaries and apparent security. It aims to cover all aspects of working for yourself, from the practicalities of clients and cash flow to the challenging realities of being out there on your own, in charge of your own work.
