Build your own network! Virtual workers can be from a “Temp-Agency&# or a from contracting firms. Both of these relationships are good for your cost-planning because they are not fixed, permanent costs, they are variable cost, meaning, when the project is finished the contract for your temp-workers, contractors finishes too.

And as I was working, job hunting and/or temping, I had to find other sources of happiness. Case in point, I worked for a short time at a social networking website.)
