Are you tired of corporate politics? Are you having nightmares of being laid off? Do you feel trapped in the current job? Are you going to freak out if you don’t get a regular paycheck? Do you care if your mom is proud of your job title (or the actual work)? Do you think about free-lancing from time to time and wish to know more about it? Are you curious about people who don’t get a “permanent and full-time” like you do and seem to be still doing okay? Do you want to try free-lancing to get some extra income? ...

In a 2 hour workshop, Dominic and Helen are going to share their experience of free-lancing, the ups and downs, the dos and don’ts, the tricks and treats, the rosy picture and the hard fact, etc. This workshop may enhance your determination to start free-lancing, may make your realize that free-lancing is not your cup of tea, may help you understand free-lancers around you better, may help you give better advice to friends and family who are talking about free-lancing, may let you get to know more free-lancers. Or simply just join us and get to know more about what Dominic and Helen are doing and how they do it.
