Is it Time to Become an Employee Again?
|
After working for myself for 25 years, except for a short time teaching during the 2008 recession, a design-build firm reached out to me. They were looking for someone with my skill set. I talked it over with my wife and a couple of close friends, and in the end I took the job. In this session, I will share how this happened and how you might be facing the same chance. Our speaker, Joey Martin, is the Senior Project Coordinator at Nicholas Design Build. He is a well-known designer with over 10 ARDA awards and nearly 30 years of experience in design and building. Joey still runs his own home design business along with his job at Nicholas Design Build.
We hope you’ll join the conversation and find tips that can help if you’re thinking about making a change like this.
