There are prosand cons to both traditional employment and becoming afreelancer or contract employee. But there is a differencebetween freelancer and contractor.DEFINITIONSFreelancers usually have several, if not many clients forwhom they perform work. Contractors may also have severalclients, but generally offer their services under contract foran agreed set of payment and circumstances. No matterwhere they perform the work, contract employees are boundby the terms of their agreement.oth can offer freedom and enefits ut a contract worerwill generally, though not always, devote their work fulltimeto the employer they’ve entered into an agreement with.ADVANTAGESLike their freelance counterparts, contract employeesenoy greater eiility in setting their wor schedules.Depending upon the terms of the agreement, contractemployees can work where they like and often set their ownschedules. In many cases, employers may not mind when orwhere you work as long as the work is performed to theirsatisfaction.Unlike freelancers, who may perform work for a clientSocial Media PresenceToday’s job seekers have more to take into account than those of the past. Social mediaand your social presence can greatly benefit you by showing your employer who you arebefore you even meet them. Social media can help you define your brand and can showSOCIAL MEDIA ON A RÉSUMÉYou can meet a person and see what they are like and whothey are before even seeing them in person. Social media is adouble edge sword that way.

So many hiring managers use LinkedInto reach out to other hiring managers and professionals intheir area. Creating a brand on LinkedIn can get you abovethe competition and show hiring managers who you arebefore even looking at your résumé.witter is another great latform that can hel you defineyour social brand to hiring managers.

This is very much the case with both freelancersand contract employees. While contract employees maynegotiate the terms of their agreements, they are generallyconsidered 1099 employees and often pay their own taxesand rovide their own enefits. ecause emloyers understandthis, contract employees are often paid morethan their traditional counterparts.The upside to this “disadvantage” is that contractors canoften deduct most, if not all of their expenses, as well asthe home office sace they wor in from their taes. hilethese deductions vary and are suect to secific rules thiscan often turn a disadvantage into an advantage for thecontract employee.CONSIDERATIONSWhile there are too many other pros and cons to coverhere, there are plenty of resources available online to discoverand weigh before entering into a contract agreement.ut for many the enefits freedom to wor when andwhere they like, the ability to spend more time with friendsand family the ta advantages offer an attractive alternativeto traditional employment.share stories or trends in your industry.
