Becoming a Contract Employee
The pandemic has caused great shifts in our lives, not least of all
about how and where we work.
Many eole have discovered the freedom and eiility
of working from home and have chosen to further their careers
as freelancers or contract employees if their employers
don’t offer the option of remaining as a permanent workfrom-home
employee.
Even before the pandemic, a growing number of those
with entrepreneurial spirits elected to forgo traditional
employment and forged independent careers. There are pros
and cons to both traditional employment and becoming a
freelancer or contract employee. But there is a difference
between freelancer and contractor.
DEFINITIONS
Freelancers usually have several, if not many clients for
whom they perform work. Contractors may also have several
clients, but generally offer their services under contract for
an agreed set of payment and circumstances. No matter
where they perform the work, contract employees are bound
by the terms of their agreement.
oth can offer freedom and enefits ut a contract worer
will generally, though not always, devote their work fulltime
to the employer they’ve entered into an agreement with.
ADVANTAGES
Like their freelance counterparts, contract employees
enoy greater eiility in setting their wor schedules.
Depending upon the terms of the agreement, contract
employees can work where they like and often set their own
schedules. In many cases, employers may not mind when or
where you work as long as the work is performed to their
satisfaction.
Unlike freelancers, who may perform work for a client
Social Media Presence
Today’s job seekers have more to take into account than those of the past. Social media
and your social presence can greatly benefit you by showing your employer who you are
before you even meet them. Social media can help you define your brand and can show
SOCIAL MEDIA ON A RÉSUMÉ
You can meet a person and see what they are like and who
they are before even seeing them in person. Social media is a
double edge sword that way. It can hurt you if you are posting
and reposting things that wouldn’t be considered very
professional.
But today, hiring managers use social media to search you
online, listing the links for them on your résumé can make
you seem proactive and inviting them to do so.
Listing your links can encourage you to clean up any
unprofessional posts you may have your page.
WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA LINK TO INCLUDE
Before you start adding every social you have to your résumé
it’s important to think of the most important ones that
would hel define your rand.
LinkedIn is a platform for professionals to post and share
content with others. So many hiring managers use LinkedIn
to reach out to other hiring managers and professionals in
their area. Creating a brand on LinkedIn can get you above
the competition and show hiring managers who you are
before even looking at your résumé.
witter is another great latform that can hel you define
your social brand to hiring managers. Twitter is a great platform
to add to your résumé because you can tweet about and

once and never again, contract employees are guaranteed a
term of financial security under the terms of the agreement.
hey may also enoy certain comany enefits such as
computers, software and the ability to access programs and
applications necessary to complete tasks, while freelancers
will often provide their own equipment, software or tools,
depending on the role.
DISADVANTAGES
As the old saying goes, with great freedom comes great
responsibility. This is very much the case with both freelancers
and contract employees. While contract employees may
negotiate the terms of their agreements, they are generally
considered 1099 employees and often pay their own taxes
and rovide their own enefits. ecause emloyers understand
this, contract employees are often paid more
than their traditional counterparts.
The upside to this “disadvantage” is that contractors can
often deduct most, if not all of their expenses, as well as
the home office sace they wor in from their taes. hile
these deductions vary and are suect to secific rules this
can often turn a disadvantage into an advantage for the
contract employee.
CONSIDERATIONS
While there are too many other pros and cons to cover
here, there are plenty of resources available online to discover
and weigh before entering into a contract agreement.
ut for many the enefits freedom to wor when and
where they like, the ability to spend more time with friends
and family the ta advantages offer an attractive alternative
to traditional employment.
share stories or trends in your industry. Include your Twitter
rofile if you are one that consistently shares and tweets
about your industry.
Leave your Twitter out if you tweet about sports or anything
that won’t show employers your personal brand.
Other social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram
and YouTube are all other platforms you can include ONLY
if you use the platforms to showcase your skills and personal
brand.
CLEAN UP YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE
Whether or not you decide to include your social media
sites on your résumé, it’s always a good idea to clean up
your online presence. Hiring managers will Google your
name for a couple of reasons. First reason, they will want to
see if they can get a feel for what kind of person you are and
secondly, it will give them peace of mind. They’ll check to
make sure you aren’t posting controversial posts or pictures
on your social media that will put a negative image on their
company if they were to hire you.
Social media today is a huge part of our lives and careers.
For some, social media can determine whether they get and
retain their jobs. It’s important to build a good online brand
to give hiring managers a good first imression of you.
