Yessica’s employer closes down for the week between Christmas and New Year’s. However, the business is growing so fast, the company has announced that a skeleton staff will have to work that week and take a vacation week another time. Yessica’s boss came and told her she was on the list of the skeleton crew. Yessica has already planned a trip to see family across the country. When she told her boss, she said it wasn’t up for discussion and that Yessica needed to change her plans. Meanwhile, Yessica’s co-worker, Abby, wants to work that week so she can take a vacation in January. However, Abby isn’t as senior in skills and knowledge as Yessica, so she thinks her boss won’t approve of Abby taking her place.

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 received an email that rubbed you the wrong way?

Maybe the person who sent you that email didn’t mean for it to come off that way, and you know that, but it still made you feel weird.

When we send messages through email, we lose the emotion, body language, and tone that would typically occur in a face-to-face conversation. This can make it difficult to control how your message is received, and increases the chances of misinterpretation.

Certain phrases people use all the time in email communication can actually be the culprit of misinterpretation. To avoid your messages being lost in translation, avoid using these common email phrases at work.
