Full-Time Online Jobs

Many employees are working from the home office, doing their jobs online now. But there are also some places where you can find a full-time job even today. For example, at one of my relative’s company, accountants are hired. In the quarantine, they are completing an interview and making all the training in a video chat. The contract and the notebook required for the work are sent by post.

In other offline industries, like retail, food, people are hired in the delivery and distribution of goods. Hospitals are looking for nurses and other personal.

Part-Time Online Jobs

Part-time jobs are very popular now. Because the employer can reduce expenses and the employee can preserve at least a part of the work online. Some states like Germany in Europe are supporting part-time jobs with tax cuts. (It’s called “Kurzarbeit”, short-time work.) Although, I think a lot of companies are taking advantage of the situation and only camouflaging full-time work as a short-time work. They only give half the pay for complete employment. The crisis has led to a sudden increase in labor supply. And where supply is high, prices fall.

Self-Employed In Your Internet Business

Your self-employed business can take many forms, you don’t have to think about a company or a workshop. Self-employment includes your private blog, any internet sales activity (like e-Bay), affiliate marketing, or products marketed on your private website. Writers, YouTubers, people living from their stock investments, or real estate property are also self-employed. Many similar forms of earning are referred to as “passive income.”

But be cautious. Building such businesses usually takes a least of months, but often years. (We wrote about it here: Is It Only a Myth? – the Genuine Truth About Passive Income) This online work requires an investment in money or time, which may not always pay off. So, you take always some sort of risk in your business.

Freelancer Online Work

You can keep your freedom and take on casual jobs if you are an expert in some profession or arts. Freelancers are often sought after in sectors such as software development, article writing, blogging, web design, graphic work, translation, online teaching, and so on. These jobs, works, or tasks are usually worth looking for on large freelancer job portals. Like Fiverr or Upwork.

But freelancers do not take on the risks of investing and building a business like the owners of independent businesses. They are employed and paid in the short term.
