Q：
Liangda, can I ask you how to take private jobs?
A：
From this small partner's question, we can find some small details:
-
I have plenty of personal time (if I don’t have time, I will hardly consider this issue)
-
Strong technical ability (if the technology is not up to standard, can it be won?)
-
Eager to earn extra money (develop a side hustle)
Next, let's answer this question and share a few ways to pick up private jobs that are suitable for individuals!
1. Receive orders on part-time job sites
There are many such websites, such as Zhubajie, Programmer Inn, Yuanjisong, etc. You only need to register an account and complete your personal information, and you can consult and receive orders on it.
It is worth noting that these sites usually require a resume and require public project experience. If you are currently employed, remember to desensitize key information.
2. Rely on connections and friend introductions
If you have many friends and good popularity, you can also meet a lot of jobs. For example, if the internal project of a friend's company needs to be outsourced, or he has too much work to do and has no time to do it, or he is capable of doing it but is not interested, it may be entrusted to you.
Friendly Reminder: People are so sophisticated, there must be no less, remember to share dividends with friends (usually about 10%), do you want to talk about it!
3. Find a part-time job on the recruitment platform
There are many recruitment platforms, the most common ones are: BOSS Zhipin, Maimai, Zhilian Recruitment, etc. Whether you are looking for a job or a part-time job, you can use it.
Generally, you can find it by searching for the keyword "part-time job", especially for companies that have not been established for a long time (0-20 employees), and they often have many part-time jobs. You can take a look at the clear part-time job requirements, take the initiative to communicate, and chat about whether it is suitable.
4. Rely on personal influence and promote by yourself
If you are a self-media person, have a public account, a headline account, a personal website, a technical blog, etc., you can market yourself online, such as reserving your WeChat, phone number, etc. in some conspicuous places on the homepage way for others to find you.
This has a certain threshold and requires continuous accumulation, which is suitable for those with personal IP.
5. Take jobs in the technical group
As a qualified technician, I must have added a lot to the technical group. In addition to exchanging technology in these groups, there are also paid consultations and outsourcing projects. As long as you pay more attention, you can usually take on a lot of work.
Of course, it is recommended to talk more about technology in the group, communicate more with others, and get familiar with them, otherwise others don’t know you, so why give you the job.
6. Summary
Well, there are basically so many ways to pick up jobs, let's make a simple summary at the end!
To put it simply, accepting jobs is a kind of sideline business. No matter what kind of sideline business you do, you need to invest more time and energy. For this reason, you have to balance the relationship between the main business and the sideline business. If you are usually busy, it is not recommended to pick up jobs, after all, work is more important; if you have the ability to pick up jobs, you must treat every customer with heart and do everything well, so as to form a positive cycle and achieve A steady flow of water.
When your service target reaches a certain scale, you can consider setting up a studio and attract some like-minded partners to make it stronger and bigger together. Working alone can only maintain food and clothing, and it is easier for the team to get rich. Who says it is not?
Of course, if you want to go to the next level, you have to find ways to broaden your network and improve the quality of your circle. Get to know more technical leaders and make more reliable customers, all of them may be your nobles in the rest of your life.
