Learnings from Hiring Online Job Contractors

I'd say "Learnings" because I was so frustrated the other day when I met some of the worst online job contractors posing as experienced and professionals but were fake. It was the first time that I really felt so bad with someone who works for me and with me online. I even told my sister if this were an employee in the call center I used to manage I would probably send her home right away. It was twice in a row for the week and I was just so disappointed.

I have been writing online for years now. I have received various writing tasks from clients all over the world -just about any topic under the sun. Most clients are from the UK, US, Australia and Indonesia. I remember writing about Scholarship Grants, Bankruptcy, Goodyear Tires, Barbie Doll Houses, Destination Weddings, Wedding Rings, Mobile Homes, Cars for Hire and Foot Solutions. I also wrote hundreds or thousands of Finance articles including Factoring, Mortgage and other Work at Home options. You can check out my Odesk account for the number of clients I have had. I also have clients for Accounting jobs and just the same the clients are not from the Philippines most of the time but it gives me a chance to explore Cloud Accounting more. This job has been truly rewarding and fulfilling. My online job has been one of God's channels in blessing me and my family. It has helped me a lot especially when I was in between jobs and when I finally decided to go freelancing and gain freedom with my time that employment usually would not offer.




However, early last month I tried hiring online job contractors to help me finish a huge writing job I accepted. Since I am now a practicing accountant, I am not as free to write as before. I realized I could help others earn extra if I hire one online. Most of them anyway are like me who are looking for work from home opportunities to payoff some bills. Therefore, I started hiring one through various job seeker hubs. I would say, I was very fortunate to find really reliable ones but because they are so good they have other demanding jobs, they can accept limited job orders only. This prompted me to hire more.

Reminding Yourself of God's Promises

It is always great to feel loved! Am sure everyone would agree with me on that. Unfortunately, not all of us feel loved all the time. Some of us even suffer from depression every now and then. Some feel worse. It is amazing that we do not realize that we ought to feel great every second because we are actually loved every single second of the day. God loves us! This is a reality! Regardless of who you are what you do, you are loved by the Most High God!

A few months ago, I changed the wallpaper of my laptop. I also used it as my cover photo for my Facebook account. Check out the picture below. This is one way to constantly remind me how greatly blessed I am, highly favored and deeply loved! Why do I have to remind myself? Like you, I used to forget, I didn't feel like it and for some time I felt, I did not deserve them - blessings, favor and love. And although today, I feel the same every single day - bless, favored and loved, putting these words in front of me still makes a great difference in my daily life.
