3 career moves for a 30-something fellow
A lot of people reach their 30s and find that they are stuck with a boring job, low salary and no life outside work. It can be highly depressing. After graduating with big dreams, students venture out in the search of a job. Only a few are lucky and satisfied with what they do. The others struggle and just when they cross 30 or in mid-30s, the realisation dawns that they are not satisfied with what they have and probably wish for a different life. Are you wondering where did you go wrong? Or what actually goes wrong with these people? Well, call it luck, fate or destiny, but at this stage switching gears and making a new career is unreasonable. That does not mean that everything is lost. In fact, here we get you the top 3 career moves that will make you feel worthy and yes, age has nothing to do with it. Freelancing: What did you do in your last job? What were your responsibilities? Yes, access everything and jot down your skills. There must be things that you are good at. You might have been an accountant, web designer, writer, office assistant and so on. Whatever you did in office, you can still carry on with it and become a freelancer. Yes, you can find freelance projects online via an online portal like SEOBloggers and the sky is the limit for you. Working with top-notch employers will not only sharpen your skills, but you get paid well, and also get the exposure that is so much desirable. Remote working:
These days’ start-up companies just want to get their work done and for talent they are ready to pay well. You don’t always need to swipe the company card and work as an on-site employee. Ever heard of remote working? Yes, that’s what we are talking about. Companies are hiring virtual assistants to get the project done on time. Freelancing also falls under ‘remote working’ and you can get freelance jobs online and the like, by joining any online freelancing portal. The best part of ‘remote working’ is that you get hired full-time or even part-time by an employer, but you work remotely. Turn your passion into business and earn: Do you love to write or are you great in creative designing? You might also be good at handling and organising administrative tasks! Well, it is not always that you need a degree to start off as a freelancer. The outsourcing industry values talent more than the certificate. So, take the risk and start off selling your services in the outsourcing world. If you are good at what you do, then you are unstoppable. “Believe in your skills and age is just a number that is holding you back”!
