Online Jobs - Earning Credibility

The internet revolution of this millennium has changed the world to an extent that not only variety of information sharing is possible across the world, but people across the world can actively engage in productive activities through online jobs.

This, however, lacks an important aspect of employer/employee relationship, which is working contact.  Initiated during the interview, this aspect develops further to create a bond and sense of belongingness in the human elements involved in the work environment.  Over a period of time, individuals gain credibility in profession, which they carry when they move on to greener pastures. 

The same individual, when gets into the domain of online work arena, his credibility gets neutralised, especially if he is not already working in the IT industry actively.  His skills, competence and credibility require to be proven again.  The absence of the conventional methods of contacts, which us humans are normally used to, makes it further difficult.

The individual then has to learn the tricks of the trade for gaining online jobs, methods to present his skills to the prospective employers and the modern ways to convey the final product to him.  Gaining these additional skills alone does not guarantee that the job would be available. The existing online work-force, which is already tested by the prospective employers, makes it difficult for them to switch over to a new untested one.

The new-comers in this field, mostly as freelancers need to be aware that till such time they start getting some work and gain some credibility, the inflow of work would remain lean. At the same time, the employers also need to be aware that the fact, that a new freelancer does not have something to flaunt, does not indicate that he is unskilled or incompetent.  For all one knows, he may be one of the best that one has seen so far.

 The new aspirants of online jobs are urged to continue on their path to further their skills and remember that the world is not that big anymore.  May god bless you all.
