Etiquette for Gig'sters
Who is a Gig'ster?
A gig’ster is anyone who undertakes work in a non-traditional form, usually on a task-by-task or contract basis. Gig'sters are self-employed, independent contractors, part-time workers, consultants, freelancers, project-based workers, or simply business owners or entrepreneurs.
The release of Delmas (Dedee) Harper’s “Etiquette for Gig’sters” book introduces the concept of being a Gig’ster in the gig economy by teaching the fundamentals of appropriate business etiquette. In the book, the author lays the groundwork for Gig’sters to advance their careers and professional growth as Entrepreneurs or Freelancers.
