Project-driven careers five years away says Microsoft honcho
Robbie McIntosh, Microsoft's Central Sourcing Manager, says that we are five years away from a sea change in the structure of the ordinary career.
Long time tenure with one company will be replaced by project-driven engagements. And the challenge for corporations will be the ability to provide interesting projects that will attract top people.

Chuck Handy advises workers to think of their careers as a "portfolio," a series of experiences and skills that make a person valuable to potential employers.
The Ohio State University Center on Education For Employment has a long list of resources related to the "portfolio career", online.
