Online Part-time Jobs During Coronavirus Pandemic

However with more than 2 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the United States it has become increasingly dangerous to travel outside the safety of ones household Although some shops and restaurants have reopened since the initial lockdown there are remaining concerns about the safety of those who decide to leave the home I would prefer my child to find alternatives to working outside the house not only for the safety of their health but for the rest of the family as well says Mrs Butterfield a mother to three children So is there another option for students rather than working outside at various retail and shops?

One option that presents itself as both a safe and feasible alternative to traditional parttime jobs are freelance jobs that can be taken on through an online platform Using websites such as Tutorcare and Upwork high school students can sign up as a freelancer online If students are confident in certain subject areas or can provide specialized services such as editing videos or tutoring websites such as these help clients discover their profiles

It is easier than it seems to get started working an online part time job Initially students can begin by creating a resume or profile to upload to online platforms It can be helpful to include information about the kind of jobs you are looking for and what projects you are able to take on For example if one decides to aim for a job as a translator it should be specified how qualified one is with the languages they plan to work with While there are many remote jobs available online it is important to consider your strengths when finding the right posting

Another job that is popular among teens is online tutoring Through online tutoring sites such as Preply students can choose subjects they are passionate about and teach others with the knowledge they have This can be both rewarding and enjoyable to students especially when interaction with others can be hard during social distancing While teaching others about a topic students can become better acquainted in the area themselves providing another opportunity for learning Once they are hired for a job students can easily be paid through services such as Paypal and other safe online methods
