Authored by PeopleClues president Julie Moreland -- with contributions from PeopleClues chief strategy officer Bryan Wempen and client relations manager Cathleen Carlos -- the complimentary eBook is now available for download at http://www.featuringu.com.

A major paradigm shift has occurred in today's workforce, as free agency gains popularity and employees become more opportunity driven. To help individuals understand what it means to be a free agent, even for those who are employees, "FeaturingU2.0," explores real stories of several professionals who have embraced the concept and gained personal and business success. Moreland, Wempen and Carlos also provide resources and exercises to help readers identify their personal assets and possible derailers, and to position themselves as would a company in light of this evolving workforce model.

As president of PeopleClues and co-author of the recently released best-seller, "Women Who Mean Business," Moreland draws on decades of experience in employee assessment, employee selection, HR technology, training and development, and business leadership to help readers highlight the skills and behaviors that make them an asset to companies. Contributing authors and HR industry bloggers, Wempen and Carlos, offer their talent acquisition and social media expertise to deconstruct the workforce paradigm and perception shift and suggest new methods for connecting employers with the right talent.

"Free agency empowers the workforce in a way it hasn't before," said Moreland. "But this shift also requires that each individual be responsible and accountable for their development, brand and positioning. 'FeaturingU2.0' is a guide for individuals across industries, backgrounds and professions that provides the resources and real-life inspiration needed to craft a personal brand and recognize that which makes an individual stand out from the crowd to drive success along their career path."
