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.

The #1 Thing You Must Do In A Job Interview Today

In the video above, J.T. explains why it’s so important to prove to a hiring manager that you are the solution to their pain.

Employers want to hire you to make their work lives easier. They want you to solve problems and alleviate pain. If you can’t explain how you are going to do all of that for them, you’re not going to get hired.

During your interview, you need to evoke some emotion that makes employers believe you are the one for the position. Even the littlest of things can make the difference between landing the job or not. That’s why you need to tighten up your brand and understand your unique value. If you can match the way you like to do work to the employer’s problems and pain, you’re going to have much better results.

J.T. explains how the Career Decoder Quiz will help you do this. She also gives you some insight on how to translate your results into something hiring managers will understand.

If you would like additional assistance interpreting your quiz results, don’t forget you can always grab a 7-day FREE trial for any of the Work It DAILY memberships.
