Freelance: dream or nightmare?
💕 Hello Hive Community! 💕
I find it amazing how many times I'm going through a situation or thinking about a particular topic with a lot of intensity, and I happen to find a way to talk about it and externalize my thoughts. I had been missing from this community for quite some time, but this week's Ladies Of Hive contest topic really caught my attention because it's a topic that has been going on for me for several months now and that, in the last few days, I've been thinking about non-stop. Let me tell you a little more about it.
Me parece increÃble la cantidad de veces que estoy pasando por una situación o pensando en un tema particular con mucha intensidad, y casualmente encuentro la forma de hablarlo y exteriorizar mis pensamientos. TenÃa bastante rato perdida de esta comunidad, pero el tema de esta semana del concurso de Ladies Of Hive realmente me llamó mucho la atención porque es un tema que me está sucediendo desde hace varios meses y que, en estos últimos dÃas, estoy pensando sin parar. Les cuento un poco más.
I have been unemployed since December practically, but it wasn't until about February-March that I stopped doing activities as I had been doing them on a more constant basis. Evidently, since January (since December was a well-deserved vacation) I started looking for a job very intensely. I must say that, since November, when I already knew I was going to be unemployed, I had been looking here and there, but I had not gotten anything. I have told you several times, especially in this community, that I had an office job for the first time and, although it kept me active, it overwhelmed me a lot and really took away my desire to go back to work in a face-to-face way. That's why I much prefer working from home on a freelance basis, but having a steady paycheck.
Yo estoy desempleada desde diciembre prácticamente, pero no fue sino hasta febrero-marzo aproximadamente que dejé de hacer actividades como las venÃa haciendo de forma más constante. Evidentemente, desde enero (ya que diciembre fueron merecidas vacaciones) comencé a buscar trabajo de forma muy intensa. Debo decir que, como desde noviembre, cuando ya sabÃa que iba a estar desempleada, pues habÃa estado buscando aquà y allá, pero no habÃa conseguido nada. Le he contado varias veces, especialmente en esta comunidad, que yo tuve un trabajo de oficina por primera vez y, aunque me mantenÃa activa, me agobié muchÃsimo y realmente me quitó un poco las ganas de volver a trabajar de forma presencial. Es por ello que prefiero mucho más trabajar desde casa de manera freelance, pero teniendo un sueldo estable.
Traditional work obviously brings many benefits, but I feel that things change over time, people also evolve and, obviously, not everyone has the same capabilities or the same tastes when it comes to looking for a job, in general. Obviously, to have a job remotely you need to have a very good time management, a very good balance, an excellent organization and also know when it is time to take time off to resume activities and hobbies outside the home, and also meet all the requirements and objectives that you have at work. But I think, if you are someone who is a person who feels like working remotely and can afford it, I would enjoy it immensely. I would enjoy it like you have no idea, but really finding remote work has become too complicated.
El trabajo tradicional obviamente trae muchos beneficios, pero siento que las cosas cambian con el tiempo, las personas también evolucionan y, evidentemente, no todos tenemos las mismas capacidades ni los mismos gustos a la hora de buscar trabajo, en general. Obviamente, para tener un trabajo de manera remota es necesario tener una muy buena gestión del tiempo, un muy buen equilibrio, una excelente organización y también saber cuándo es momento para tomar un tiempo libre para retomar las actividades y hobbies fuera del hogar, y también cumplir con todos los requisitos y los objetivos que se tengan en el trabajo. Pero creo que, si eres una persona que tiene ganas de trabajar de forma remota y puede permitÃrselo, lo disfrutarÃa muchÃsimo. Yo lo disfrutarÃa como no tienen una idea, pero realmente encontrar trabajo remoto se ha hecho demasiado complicado.
I'm not going to tell you if I've only been looking for remote work for all these months. I've also tried to keep an eye out to see if any on-site jobs also have things that catch my attention, but it hasn't really happened. Actually, my priority right now is to find a job. If I get a face-to-face job it would be fine, but I could do it, but I haven't really found anything that meets my requirements. And online/freelance, I must say that it is more complicated than it seems. There are thousands of platforms, there are a lot of people looking for staff, but all these months have been a vicious circle of sending resumes, doing interviews and not getting anywhere. And that is something too overwhelming, and considering that my resume is not bad, I have enough experience with many things, but the truth is I don't know why I'm still in the same hole. Still, I will continue to advocate remote work until a traditional job shows me otherwise. I hope you enjoyed hearing my thoughts on this topic. See you soon!
No les voy a decir que si solamente he buscado trabajo remoto desde todos estos meses. También he tratado de echar un ojo a ver si algún trabajo de manera presencial también tiene cosas que llamen mi atención, pero la verdad no ha sucedido. Realmente, mi prioridad ahorita es encontrar trabajo. Si me toca de forma presencial estarÃa bien, pero pudiera hacerlo, pero la verdad no he encontrado nada que cumpla con mis requisitos. Y de manera online/freelance, debo decir que es más complicado de lo que parece. Hay miles de plataformas, hay un montón de personas buscando personal, pero todos estos meses han sido un cÃrculo vicioso en mandar currÃculum, hacer entrevistas y que no lleguen a nada. Y eso es algo demasiado agobiante, y teniendo en cuenta que mi currÃculum no es malo, tengo bastante experiencia con muchas cosas, pero la verdad no sé por qué sigo estando en el mismo hueco. Aun asÃ, seguiré defendiendo el trabajo remoto hasta que un trabajo tradicional me demuestre lo contrario. Les haya gustado muchÃsimo saber mis opiniones al respecto de este tema. Nos leemos pronto!

One of my son is looking for I.T. remote work as well. He loves the field but as you found out, it is rather competitive and has been doing a few Internships to build up his experience and skills. I hope you will find something that is suited to your skills and abilities @lucianav
Have you heard about Upwork and Fiverr. since you have experience writing blogs, you can try finding work there. You just need to build a good portfolio to attract clients. You can do article writing, data entry, admin tasks, etc...
