Description
Working online may once have been the realm of improbable get-rich-quick schemes. But within the past decade, cyberspace has become not only a viable workplace, offering a full spectrum of career options, but has grown to supplant a significant proportion of the total marketplace of employment. The "cheese" has been moved.
Why has work been moving to the Web? Why do employers outsource many of the job functions for which they once hired on-site employees? Why are storefront businesses falling behind their online competitors? Why has on-site work declined while online work has thrived? And, perhaps most importantly, how can you benefit from these changes?
These are important — even essential — questions that readers will find the answers to and other questions in "Shifting Gears to Your Career Working Online."
The authors want readers to ask themselves, “Are you ready to move to move to an online career, take back your commuting time, and reap the benefits of working to your own rhythm?”
This book's purpose is to take readers into the world of online work and to help them find themselves there; then to guide them, with specific, practical strategies, tools, and tasks, as they prepare themselves well, establish their own starting point as a web worker, and become highly successful working online.
The book offers readers:
· A 7-step process to prepare yourself for cyberwork
· 8 places to look for online jobs
· 8 ways to promote yourself for online work
· 7 areas of online work to choose from
· Strategies to determine and select the online career that fits you best.
