And What Do You Do?

Anyone with an interest in portfolio careers or in simply starting out on their own should read this essential handbook and compendium for work beyond the traditional confines of the full-time, organisational career. 

Barrie Hopson and Katie Ledger’s excellent book opens with an overview of today’s world of work (“There Is Another Way”) before taking the reader through every aspect of designing and marketing a portfolio of offerings.  The exercises are insightful and my copy is already taking on a well-thumbed look about it.

The book also deserves a prize for bringing together Hugh MacLeod and Mr Benn in a single volume.
