The entire world seems to be changing at a breathtaking, breakneck speed. There just does not seem to be any kind of security anymore in any area that you look into. This past weekend I was talking with some people who are looking for some freelance work because they are having a hard time find employment with “just one” business.

The conversation revolved around how companies are not showing their employees the kind of loyalty and giving them the kinds of benefits that the previous generations of employees enjoyed.  It used to be that a person went to work for one company and stayed with that one company for their entire work life, and retired with a nice defined benefit pension plan.  Finding a company that gives their employees a defined benefit pension plan is almost impossible in this day and age!  Because companies are not inclined to treat their employees as well as they used to, the employees are not showing the companies much loyalty, either, and jump from job to job to job, always looking to make the most money they can because they need to finance their own retirement.  So job security is no longer a “given” anymore.

Enter the freelance lifestyle. The website thefreelancenation.com is a new website that helps freelancers find employers that are looking to hire them.  This website is set up to help find local or international freelancers and projects.  If you are a business, or a freelancer, looking to find a good match for your freelance work needs, give this site a look-see.
