You know exactly how it feels: you are frustrated, angry and unhappy. It’s time to make that change. It’s time to improve your relationships, start your own business, get that promotion, lose that weight, get those abs tuned, stop smoking, see your friends more often, start saving for your kids education, start applying for a different job… etc,etc.

Given that quite a number of these want-to-be “free agent consultants” gravitate to the likes of a Corporate Talent Agent like aCE talentNET, you now know where to come looking for them… this comment is based on a most interesting article in TheAge.com this morning, and it starts like this:
EMPLOYERS, beware. Your employees have extremely itchy feet.
