PORTFOLIO CAREERS: How to Create Your Own Job Stability in the Free Agent Nation

Presented by: Susan Camberis, Talent Management and HR Leader

      As the work world continues to evolve and
become an increasingly free agent economy, job seekers are faced with new
challenges and opportunities.  Whether
you’re looking for greater work/life balance or need to earn some income during
a job transition, figuring out how to thrive as a contingent worker or
freelancer can be valuable.  In this
interactive program, participants will learn more about “portfolio careers”
(careers where income is generated from a combination of part-time, freelance,
temporary and other ventures) and how to take the first steps to define their
own product offerings and marketing plans. 

     Susan Camberis is a Talent Management and
HR Leader who is passionate about learning, career development, and
sustainability.  From 1999 to 2013, Susan
held various HR roles with Baxter, a global, diversified healthcare company
headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois. 
Susan is particularly interested in how organizations are engaging
employees and developing talent while becoming more sustainable.
