Other chapters mentioned financial planning and a yearly review of your employment history.
The second chapter lists websites discussing freelance resources in different North American cities, as well as legal guides and forms. There’s also a section of “Freelance Tips” to consider. Another section of the chapter provides website links for retirement planning. Finally, the chapter discusses Career Documents that should be saved throughout your career and your life.
