Help me out. I’m seeing an increasing number of senior professionals here on LinkedIn billing themselves as “fractional” this or that. This differs from “part-time” or “freelance”...how?

It’s simply more ridiculous LinkedIn wordage 🙄

“I’m a fractional petroleum transport technician”

Translation: I pump gas part-time.

The meaningful difference is that it implies a candidate who runs with multiple roles and projects. It's part of a portfolio career. Part-time implies working part of the week, freelance implies temporary.

I know LinkedIn can be performative, but at a time when big companies are laying off experienced talent, and nobody's hiring, you can't dunk on people for rebuilding their careers in new ways and framing it in fancy terms.

It’s what clients look when staffing in house roles. They’re set up differently than agencies.
