For years, or better said decades, we haven’t seen so many people quitting their ordinary jobs and trying themselves into something new – freelance jobs. Working remotely is new normal in this pandemic, but it seems like how these sorts of careers are about to stay here forever.
Remote work helps people overcome these hard times
No one knows what their life will look like in a month, in a year, or when the pandemic is over. What this does to people is that it makes them re-evaluate what they get from work. Many ask themselves if they could be paid better, work on something they actually enjoy, or create a new source of income that would bring more security into their homes and lives in general.
Online jobs don’t only offer an extra source of income, but much more
What freelancing offers to people is the ability to spend more time with family, prepare their own meals at home, don’t have to wake up early to work and follow a certain dress code, and besides that – to do what they are talented for, what they love, and often even to embrace their hobbies. Flexibility is a great plus as well.
Statistics claim that only in the UK, in December 2021, there were approximately 1.3 million job vacancies. Shany Malbin, an author of The future of work is a freelance article also found that more than 400,000 people quit their job from July to September. When you work freelance, the entire world is your competitor, but also a place where you can find a job.
The way people want to work will completely change – once and for all
Freelance platforms, such as Fiver Business, change the way people get their jobs. There’s no need to waste time and energy on numerous live interviews, knowledge proving, and practice. In fact, freelancers’ profile instantly shows what they are capable to do, and most often – they can start working immediately.
Many researchers at Harvard Business School and Boston Consulting Group’s Henderson Institute say that 90% of the companies they have surveyed claim that they will switch to either part-time or full-time freelance employees.
