But to benefit from these exciting new options they need a strategic game plan that prepares them for a new world of freelance work. Van Niekerk notes that the world of work has changed dramatically: young professionals no longer expect a lifelong career with a single employer. Van Niekerk says many freelance professionals choose this model because they want to benefit from a range of professional experiences, good work-life balance, and choice in working conditions and office hours.

The world is changing, and you need to be aware now that there’s a growing world of freelancing which has massive appeal for many people,” he says.
