Join your San Andreas colleagues for a breakfast program on Thursday, June 4th at Exponent in Menlo Park.
Career Agility: Working with an Agency
Speakers: Linda McKell and Sarah Vogel, moderator Cindy Hill
Explore alternatives to working in a salaried position for a company. What are the opportunities, the pros and cons? What is the current situation? How do you get projects? And how do you market yourself?
Our speakers on this panel provide perspectives from both the contractor and agency viewpoint. After several layoffs at local pharmaceutical companies, Sarah Vogel, independent Information Research Consultant, became an independent contractor. Linda McKell is the founder and owner of AIM Library & Information Management ("AIM").
Cindy Hill, our moderator, is the founder and president of Hill Information Consulting Group. She was previously Vice President, Information Management Service, with Outsell, Inc., a research and advisory firm focused on the publishing, information, and education industries. Prior to that, she had been the manager of Sun's Digital Libraries and Research Group.
