⇒ You Plan to Win, Not Survive: When you love your job, you aim to grow higher and do better in it every day. But when you do not love it, you only wish to sail through it and not care to create an impact.

⇒ You Don’t Work Only for Money: When you are passionate about your job, your sole aim does not becomes earning money. You work to learn, grow, and add value to the business. You feel gratified at the end of the day.

⇒ You Measure Success With Satisfaction: If you love your work and put your heart and soul into it, you measure the success of it by how happy and satisfied you are with the work you do. Success does not lie in monetary terms only, it is beyond that for you.

Rise in Freelancing After the Global Pandemic

Back in 2019, if someone said that he’s a freelancer, the questions that instantly popped into anybody’s mind were ‘do you get enough work?’ or ‘is the source of income even stable in this profession?’. But thanks to the global pandemic, it has drastically accelerated the growth of the freelance industry especially in the field of digital marketing, content writing, graphic designing, video editing, and developers.

As per the reports by Payoneer, here’s a list of the top 10 freelancer growth countries:

1. Philippines – 208%

2. India – 160%

3. Japan – 87%

4. Australia – 86%

5. Hong Kong – 79%

6. Mexico – 72%

7. Canada – 71%

8. Pakistan – 69%

9. Argentina – 66%

10. Spain – 66%

While many employees who lost their job during the pandemic moved to freelance as an alternate, similarly many companies who had to cut down costs preferred hiring freelancers on a project basis at a lower price. They are finding hiring freelancers a better alternative in terms of quality and costs. Looking at the above growth rate in freelancing, we can clearly call freelancing a respectable legitimate career option now.

With most of the industries adapting to remote working after the lockdown, freelancers have undeniably benefitted from this culture as they are well used to working from their homes. Companies can hire the best of talent on a freelance basis, without worrying about providing them office space, training, or fixed employee benefits.

Talking from an employees point of view, they prefer flexibility over rigid guidelines, diversity over fixed work & clients, and of course scope of a better pay scale. Freelancing has proved to be a boon for them.

The rise of the freelance industry was something that people expected will happen in the next 10-15 years, but the global pandemic made it happen in a few months only. Also clearly, this is not going to change. With digitalisation & remote working culture taking a lead, freelancers will be given preference in comparison to full-time employees in a lot of companies.

How to Write a Job Post on LinkedIn

Who all are using LinkedIn to hire new talent? A lot of you, right? Finding the right talent on LinkedIn can be difficult. The job postings are viewed by thousands of people and a result, finding the best talent becomes a tough job for the recruiter.

To ease this, the best way is to write job posts that catch the eye of the right candidates, saving the time and effort of the recruiter. Here’s a guide on how to write compelling LinkedIn posts that catch job seekers’ attention:

📌Don’t Use Same Templates: Do not use the standard job template every time. Job seekers have got bored of reading it everywhere. Of course, writing a custom post for every position takes way more time. However, it tends to attract better talent and generate good results.

📌Keep It Brief: Keeping in mind that at least half of LinkedIn users view postings from their mobile devices, concise descriptions are easier to read and, thus, they are more appealing. Also, since it takes time to read long posts, job-seekers might not even read them entirely and just apply even if the role is not suitable for them.

📌Include the Basic Information: Your post should include all basic information like a few words about the organisation, role, skills, and experience you are seeking, requirements an employee will have to fulfil, etc. Lastly, it is also good to make an encouraging call for action for the candidates by mentioning the perks of working in your organisation.

📌Don’t Focus on Requirements Only: Apart from your requirements, job seekers will be happy to learn how a particular role and company can benefit them. Thus, don’t hesitate to give them an idea of the growth opportunities offered by a specific position. To attract the best talent, you also have to show the best part of your company.

📌Choose the Right Tone: It is okay to move away a bit from the formal tone and reflect your company’s spirit. Still, you shouldn’t go overboard. Use a tone that is appealing but at the same time professional.

Hope you find the best talent after following these tips.
