Career Comeback

Are you ready for a career comeback? As employer-employee relationships have changed drastically over the years, so has the view of careers generally. Gone are the days (for most) of decades of work for the same employer, and in are the days of flex work, the gig economy and employers coming and going based on radical industry transformation and disintermediation.
