Ever wonder why it can be tough to find a full-time corporate role that matches your specific profile…

But when looking for opportunities as a consultant, everyone tells you to specialize even more?

​

From a company’s perspective, the difference is urgency.

Hiring an FTE is an expensive, long-term investment and typically requires a heavily considered process.

Hiring a consultant can undoubtedly have a long-term impact, but the objective is to solve an immediate problem.

This means the company is willing to let go of some of the bureaucracy and process that comes with a full-time hire, but only for someone who intimately knows their specific problem, and comes armed with a path to resolution.

​

Going the consulting route is, in many ways, a more streamlined path to paid work.

But you’ll need to sharpen your focus enough on a very specific problem in order to prove your relevance.
