Gig Workers VS Independent Contractors
Many companies require the services of outside personnel to complete jobs and tasks, or to get the job done. Traditionally, such personnel have been known as independent contractors.

I will say that if you've been auditioning for a while, you'd make a killer job interviewer in the real world. Why?
