The world of work as we’ve known it is vanishing. The full-time job is an endangered concept. Unemployment is rising at record levels while the natural optimism of many job seekers is evaporating with each unanswered phone call and every rejection letter. Thankfully, there is another path to career success and personal satisfaction �" or more accurately put �" there are other paths with the emphasis on the letter s, the plural. In fact, in Britain, they refer to the trend as “going plural.” In the US, the phenomenon has been described as patchwork careers, casserole careers and portfolio careers.

Those savvy individuals engaging in the pluralistic practice are called career blenders or simultalents™ or renaissance workers. They engage in multiple careers simultaneously bringing unexpected benefits to their various employers and surprising peace of mind to themselves. Within corporations, these individuals are called “content blenders” or scanners and bring the “beneficial surprise” to their employer.

Finger food & soft drinks will be provide.
