Back to Work Through Self-Employment
By Polly Smith
Advising clients in self-employment goals can be intimidating to even the most seasoned employment counsellor. This is likely because most of us have little or no experience in business. We think of huge financial start-up costs and giant risks to our clients, but self-employment can simply be about putting the skills you used in previous employment to work for you in a new way. It does take planning, research and time to get started, but so does the traditional job hunt which can be challenging and daunting as well.
