Tippies for the newbies

Today marks my second day of "trial" mode. I have to submit my draft tomorrow. Shit is just hectic. Much like work in the office, i need to meet deadlines. I got invited for another interview, i hope i pass it too. The job just seems amazing to begin with. I am just thrilled to make this shindig work, it is not everyday you get an opportunity like this. I got reasons up my sleeve and i'll try and make you try Odesk too.

BPO companies often just kill you with the shifting schedules, cig breaks and coffee breaks but the environment will eventually take its toll on you. Big companies, oh how tempting their offers could be! Earing 20k a month is not that bad! Question is, how long are you willing to work like that? Honestly speaking, i don't see myself in my 40s still working my ass off in that place. 3 years ago, i started working at Eastwood. I left my eldest, 2 year old at that time, at home with my nanny (she took care of me as a child too). It seems that i was giving more time to sleeping in order to recover from the hectic world i work in at night. After a few months, i gave up. Took a few months  get my eggs together and i applied for a company my friends referred. It was all good. Until i started to grew tired of the same old bat shit everyday. Too many issues arose from being unfaithful to work gossip. They were just too hot to handle. I have to move out..PRONTO! A few months later, a blessing came..in my womb.

Are you a parent? Always in front of the computer? Do you want to spend more time with your family and less on wasting money on transportation fees and lunch/ cigs?

Here are steps on how to make it before you break it!

Earn a skill, just google it!
Want to learn how to use Photoshop? You have the power in your hands! Use it wisely! There are tons of tutorials around the world wide web.. it's your playground! I learned how to use Excel using online tutorials.

Read Read Read
There are millions of blogs about any specific topic on your mind! People often share their experiences (like me) on their blogs. Honestly, reading actually landed me on working with oDesk.

Frustrated Writer? Blog yourself to death!
As a child, i loved making up stories. As i grew up, i love making songs. As a mom, i love creating stories for my kids. Blogging is an outlet for budding writers such as yours truly. If you have an idea, always write it down!

Verify
There are sites that are fraudulent. Work at home sites are one of them. Do not trust everything you see. Always practice researching about a site before transacting with them or sharing personal information.
Try Odesk if you want short term contracts. Use the skills you know and get paid.

Be Professional
In cover letters sent, replies to clients and the like must be in a good manner! Once hired, reputation is everything. If you always do shit with work, then clients won't take you seriously either. Less job opportunities, less money for you.


Trust me, if you do good things to others, good things will always come back to you. Be mindful of your actions and be a civilized netizen!

Till next time!
