Comments on: Self-Employed on LinkedIn? You’re Hired. http://www.jasonspector.com/2009/12/self-employed-linkedin/ crowdsourcing | user experience | social media Mon, 29 Mar 2010 04:37:36 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Case Ernsting http://www.jasonspector.com/2009/12/self-employed-linkedin/comment-page-1/#comment-102 Case Ernsting Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:09:08 +0000 http://www.jasonspector.com/?p=720#comment-102 Fascinating post, Jason. Why do you think there is such an overwhelming percentage of men in the "Self Employed" category? Your approach to crowdsourcing is very eye-opening and I'm learning from it. I think you're spot on with your recommendations to lose the "Self-Employed" moniker and go with a self-titled brand. I am willing to bet this strategy helps the personal psyche of those out of work as well. Do you think there are some string attached when John Smith titles his services "Smith Consulting"? For example, are their undue expectations created (website, business card, legal concerns) for clients looking to hire Mr. Smith? Can't wait to hear your thoughts. Fascinating post, Jason.
