How to create more meaningful work (and reimagine the future of the resume)

from Book Is the Hook · host Eric Koester

36% of the U.S. workforce has freelanced this year -- and it may offer one of the best ways to grow and manage your own career path. According to author and Babson Professor Diane Mulcahy, the future is quickly becoming about developing a portfolio of work -- perhaps its a full-time job and something on the side to scratch our creative itch or perhaps its a freelance career made up of multiple clients and a variety of work. In our conversation we'll go deeper into how Diane is coaching MBAs and undergrads to re-think careers through the lens of building a portfolio of meaningful work, and how a new set of skills -- the creator skillset -- is critical as each of us makes that transition.  The New Yorker calls her book Gig Economy "part economic argument and part how-to guide."  And in this episode we'll explore how you can reframe work through a portfolio approach and you can have more control, attain more financial flexibility and discover more meaningful work. BUT you might have to do something a little different than those around you.
