My Online Job Career

September 15, 2012 4:05pm CST
For the past few months, I’ve been working freelance in various online works; I know I am not that kind of expert at it yet.But I find it more reliable compared to my previous non-online jobs. When I was due on my previous job,I was getting frustrations on applying to other companies for the reason that there is a big competition in today’s industry and sadly I can’t work with the degree that I had graduated since there are no available positions. So, I was thinking of giving my break in cyberspace because I have a colleague back in College where she was working as online-freelance writer full time and at the same time studying. So, I thought of applying to several online institutions trying to submit and train for them. On my first online work,I was hired by a private employer from a Text-service provider as Human-Search engine guide.At first I was hesitant with the work since, I did not have any working experiences back then in the online-working industry,but with a positive mind-set I still continued on the work and after months of search-engine work it really paid off earning my first salary online. Although, there are some miscommunications and stuck-up with the workload at first, if you are honest with your employer they will be very glad if you ask queries on things you don't understand. At the moment, I am still rendering freelance online work still since my application letter and resume’s I send to various companies in my district are still pending and I haven’t received any reply yet so, at the moment rather than being stuck on doing nothing I am quite satisfied working online although I don’t earn that much. But hey, it is worth a try than waiting for some luck to come.

I have signed in a certain website that offers online jobs but I have not yet started as I feared that I might be mistaken. I only met my friend who taught me once when she told me what should be done.

Hello! having doubts on working online is normal for those who haven't experience any online work. I've been on that situation also before when i was still new to online jobs. and i had some experience on working on the wrong employer. But if you do have faith and you do trust your instincts (read reviews, pros and cons) on a certain site you are submitting to work with. put it on a trial and error, and in the end if it works out positively then you'd thought of giving it a try.

Do you know that you can certainly earn a living from an online job? Since you have the motivation and determination, you will become adept with online jobs and gain an income which is more than what you will earn from a day job. There are lots of jobs in freelancer and if you get lucky enough some do provide long term employment. I found my employer from freelancer last year and I am still working for him. I actually turned down several job offers since I found this online job as more my thing. Just do your best and good luck.

Thank you for your tips on online freelancing. Yes, i do have a freelancer and other online job posting site accounts. I have some experience also being hired and being rejected there but all this are quite good. since i don't need to spend a dime for transportation trying to get in touch with a job interview, all i need is my computer and voila! job interview is accomplished. Though, i'm new to this career opportunity, i am looking forward to work here online since it flexes my time and schedule.
