Job market today is full of opportunities that differ not only in scope,
benefits and incentives but also in their work hours. Job seekers have the
option of taking up jobs that suit their time schedules, style and expertise!
There are two main
options -- working on a part-time basis (for a fixed number of hours on
certain days of the week) or freelancing -- working on a project basis
where a fixed amount of work is outsourced to a freelance professional.
For example, students who want to
become financially independent can easily opt for a part time job and
balance their education and financial needs very well.
Many companies
offer part time jobs that have convenient work hours. Students who have a
couple of free hours during the day or even at night can easily benefit
from these part time jobs.
From telemarketing to data entry, the
choices of part time jobs in Delhi, India are unlimited and generally pay
quite well.
Besides part time jobs, the concept of
freelance jobs is picking up in India as well. The transition and
acceptance, though slow, is making its presence felt. Many job seekers
with expertise in their field offer their services as freelancers. The
whole concept of freelance revolves around flexibility and working on
one's own terms.
The association between a freelancer
and a Company (client) can be very rewarding and fulfilling provided that
both parties understand and respect each others terms.
Companies outsource specific projects
and benefit from hiring freelancers as they can be "hired when required",
thus reducing overheads and unnecessary payroll issues.
In order to make sure that work
progresses smoothly in such a situation, certain things must be kept in
mind:
-
A person who takes up work on a free
lance basis must make his / her work terms very clear to the client right
in the beginning. Respect for client's time, deadlines and quality
expectations should be maintained at all times.
-
A Company must understand and respect
the fact that when they hire a freelancer they are outsourcing a job -
please give them the space and freedom to work. (Do not forget that you
are hiring them for their expertise). Don't expect them to spend time with
you like a full time employee would!!!!
-
Once both parties have discussed their
terms and conditions, the agreement should be kept and respected
throughout the course of their association.
