Toronto Star – Business Section Cover Story – May 2009
Cheryl Scoffield, The Follow Up Specialist was interviewed as an expert for this front page article – Self-employment: The ‘do-it-yourself recovery’.
Quote Extract
“Jim Geraghty, President of Happen, a networking organization for mid- to senior-level executives, has also noted the trend toward self-employment.
“The whole idea of stability, of security and all that sort of thing that used to come with a full-time position is going the way of the dodo bird,” Geraghty said. “And as a result of that, a lot of our members are asking themselves the question: do I want to work for a company and then find myself back looking for a job in maybe 24 months, or do I want to take some more control of the situation and hang up my own shingle?”
Cheryl Scoffield did just that in 2004. Faced with yet another contract job, she founded Executive Sales Support, which helps sales professionals get organized and sell more. She said self-employment was “a better route” and believes more people will embrace that trend.”
