Randall Hansen, Ph.D., founder of Quintessential Careers, talks about the portfolio career, which involves working in a number of part-time jobs (including temporary, freelance, contract, or self-employed) with different employers or clients that combine to be the equivalent of a full-time position. Portfolio careers offer greater flexibility, variety, and freedom, but they generally require a tolerance for risk and a high degree of personal and professional organization.
Hansen writes, "Portfolio careers are usually built around a collection of skills and interests, though the only consistent theme is one of career self-management."
