investordj:I apologise for my outburst. I will do a post on which remote work websites accept Nigerians. As for the payments, it depends on the third parties involved. Many sites are just conduits between freelancers and companies/individuals seeking project handlers. |

investordj:Typical. Pardon me, maybe I should have shared money doubling business opportunities instead � |

Gig economy refers to jobs within a labor market that presents contract jobs/freelance jobs based on a contractual agreement between the worker and the company/organization. In other words, as a gig worker, you are not a permanent staff member of the company/organization that you work for, you are a freelancer. You get paid for each job you do. People working under the gig economy have the freedom to work for as many companies/organizations as they can handle. The gig economy is rising as more people are looking at building their career portfolios through freelance work with various platforms. The Covid-19 pandemic has also contributed to making the gig economy expand throughout the world as lockdown rules are implemented. Many companies/organizations have gone fully remote, so, there is more demand for gig workers, who can carry out their duties from wherever they are. If you are on the lookout for remote work as a gig worker, you should talk to your professional friends for work opportunities.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, lots of changes will occur in the workplace. The regular 9 to 5 work period may be challenged because employers and employees cannot afford to execute work prior to the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019/20. Some companies and organizations are already shifting towards full-time remote work, while others are focused on building a hybrid workplace. Whatever the case may be, ensure that as an employee, you commit to a workplace that is interested in making reasonable adjustments as it relates to your own work realities.

If you want to remain professionally relevant in the next 30 to 40 years, there are a few factors you ought to pay attention to. At Lingo Africa, we recently engaged a few foreign human capital experts to give us a worldview on what professionals should be doing differently in order to stay ahead in the workplace game. Some of the insights they provided us include but are not limited to; Prioritizing skills over degrees: As much as degrees are important, skills should be on top of your list if you want to build and satin a portfolio career. If you aim to earn higher in your chosen industry, look at the skills you do not have and engage in practical ways to learn them. Real-world simulations: As you learn, engage in real life analysis that is developed, applied and verified. This way, you can become skilled at solving real problems and as you are already aware, the demand for problem solving skills are rising on a daily basis. Take part in on-the-job trainings – If the opportunity arises for official trainings in your workplace, do not exempt yourself from it. Always engage, develop and update your skills. Be more flexible – Always be open to exploring in your professional life. If you are too rigid, you may find yourself phasing out and losing opportunities to those who are more daring. Think about Research in Motion (makers of the Blackberry phones) and how they lost considerable market share to Apple due to the former’s business rigidity. Source - Omono Okonkwo (Lingo Africa). |

Building a professional network is critical to career advancement. Even more important than this, is to build a network within your area of expertise. Of course, all networks are important, but, you must place emphasis on your area of expertise, so, you can grow and receive opportunities for creating positive impact in your industry. It is not enough to just do mundane work and receive a salary at the end. Now, more professionals are solving problems and collaborating with people outside their home country, to build stuff that will impact lives around the world. Look out for online/offline groups you can belong to. Collaborate with others to address industry challenges. These will help you meet more people, engage in meaningful conversations and earn a voice in your area of expertise/industry. Do not get carried away with what some may portray. Building and sustaining a great professional network has nothing to do with looks. It's more about looking out for those with a great work ethic and a strong determination to be a force for positive change in their chosen industry. Source - Omono Okonkwo (Lingo Africa). |
