5 Reasons To Make SurveyJunkie Your Next Side Hustle

There are several reasons why someone might choose to have a side hustle as an online survey taker for SurveyJunkie. Here are five possible reasons:

1. Flexibility: Online survey taking allows for flexibility in terms of working hours. As a survey taker, you can typically choose when and where you want to complete surveys. This flexibility is especially beneficial for individuals who have other commitments such as a full-time job, studies, or family responsibilities.

2. Extra Income: One of the primary motivations for having a side hustle is to earn additional income. SurveyJunkie offers compensation to survey takers for completing surveys. While the income may vary depending on factors like survey length and complexity, it can be a convenient way to supplement your regular income or save up for specific goals.

3. Low Entry Barrier: Starting as an online survey taker usually has a low barrier to entry. SurveyJunkie, for example, allows individuals to sign up easily and start taking surveys without requiring specialized skills or experience. This accessibility makes it an attractive option for people looking to earn money without needing extensive training or qualifications.

4. Work from Anywhere: Online survey taking provides the opportunity to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you prefer to work from the comfort of your home, a coffee shop, or while traveling, as long as you have access to the internet, you can take surveys and earn money. This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.

5. Variety and Engagement: Participating in online surveys exposes you to a range of topics and provides an opportunity to share your opinions. This can be interesting and engaging for individuals who enjoy expressing their thoughts, providing feedback, or learning about different subjects. It can also serve as a way to stay updated on market trends, consumer preferences, and new products or services.

Have you ever thought about using a career coach? Yes? That’s great let’s get you going! No? Let us show you why you need coaching. Sometimes there is a stigma around career coaching, people think if they need to ask for help, then something is wrong with them. Not everyone knows everything on their own and some of the highest achieving individuals had someone guide them to their success. Career coaches are no different, they are there to guide you to YOUR success. Using a coach will help you get ahead in your career in today’s competitive job market.

Why You Need Achievements On Your LinkedIn Profile

Do you want to stand out from other job candidates?

If you want to get the attention of recruiters and hiring managers, you need to add specific, tangible, and quantifiable achievements on your resume AND LinkedIn profile.

Most people tend to list what they have done in their career, but don’t say anything about what they have achieved. Profiles without achievements are extremely “duty-oriented” and don’t let a recruiter or hiring manager know if you are a good fit for the job.

If you want to stand out and prove that you are a qualified candidate who will do great things at the company, you need to write an achievement-based LinkedIn profile. Here are a few tips to get you started…
