How Did I Get Here?
2009 has just been one of those years. Laid off in February after working at a company for almost 6 years, laid off again in August after working for 2 months with a start-up…I decided that it’s time to try something else.

I work as a contractor providing specialized services and administrative support to businesses who have work that needs to be done. I share the client’s goals and succeed when they succeed. What are a few of the main benefits of leasing an employee versus hiring someone as a permanent part of your staff?
