Abstract
With spring comes a renewed sense of optimism. A good time, perhaps, to review where we are in our businesses and consider how we can improve. Michelle Storm Lane of the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self Employed (IPSE) provides five helpful hints on how we can become more effective freelancers. CV development expert, Matt Craven, tells us how to write an impactful professional profile that ‘speaks’ to our intended audience and improves our chances of attracting clients.
