Age of remote work, new professional and personal requirements
Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great weekend. I want to share with you something I have heard recently, and it is the following phrase: "we are in the era of Remote work ", I had not thought about it, but I think yes, it is definitely so, the pandemic produced a big change in that aspect.
Last year there was a lot of talk that this could happen, but we are in this current process and some people are not aware of it. Particularly I must say that my work is completely from home, I do everything via internet, and I know of some friends who are in the same situation, so definitely this radical change in terms of work has happened, we are in that.
Globalization is even more present under this work premise. Many people became unemployed, it is a reality and I am not going to delve into that detail, but some looked for options that led them to find better opportunities than the ones they had.
Recently I communicated with a friend in Venezuela, who I know worked in a bakery, but due to the pandemic he has been unemployed, this made him to be in a very complicated situation, but in spite of everything, being unemployed he started to look for options via internet, and luckily he found them.
He currently works with a company based in France, and is dedicated to translating publications into Spanish, he is in charge of coordinating everything that will be published on the blog. Would anyone do it? No, not really. This friend has always been a great reader, and he taught himself to speak and read English, a great tool that allows him to work in this way.
Which brings me to another thing, without a doubt it is more than necessary, and more and more necessary to be able to have command of several languages, starting with English, but if we can learn French, Italian or any other language, it will give us many more possibilities and with good remuneration in the form of remote work. To give you an idea, the minimum salary in Venezuela is about 6-7 dollars, I have friends who are practicing doctors, and when they earn well, it can be a salary of 100-200 dollars per month.
This friend that I am telling you about, who works online earns 500$ per month, that is to say, that without a doubt it is a very good income, but you have the necessary tools for it, mastery of technology, in the most basic and also mastery of another language.
He is a good example, so we all have the possibility to improve our skills, and thus have more options.
I authorize the use of this banner to everyone who wants to do it.

Hi @josevas217!
Definitely this situation has led many to get the best out of themselves and develop skills they may not have known they had or risk working in other fields that perhaps for fear they had not tried. The important thing is to move forward and take advantage of opportunities as your friend did. Greetings!
That's right, many did not want to leave the comfort zone, and the pandemic led them to have to leave, some did well, others not so much, but you have to move in search of improvements.
Greetings friend @ josevas217. This situation that we are all going through, such as the pandemic, has led many of us to discover that we have skills and that we can perform differently without having to have a pattern that is directing us ourselves, we are autonomous to decide. thank you for sharing such an important topic.
Hello friend, it is certainly the new digital era, for many this pandemic was a total disaster, but others took advantage of the moment of crisis to move forward and reinvent themselves. Not bad, I think great ideas are born in moments like this. How good about your friend, we must look for other options if we want to have a better income. Greetings.
Hello friend @josevas217.
It is very true what you express, since due to the arrival of Covid-19 many things have changed, and without a doubt, one of them is related to the labor field and this in every sense, so it is important to highlight what you express.
I totally agree with you, as human beings we have to be attentive to any kind of change in order to move forward and not be left behind, and I think that here in Venezuela we who are working on these platforms are examples of such adaptation of life.
Thank you for sharing such interesting content with all of us, many successes and greetings from Venezuela.
Yes, Venezuela is a particular case of adaptation and in many cases survival, but options are sought. Here in Colombia there is also poverty, many people lost their jobs, these platforms could be a great place to have an extra income, however people do not want to try something new. it is difficult.
Thanks for commenting
Awesome.

Hello @josevas217, Certainly the pandemic left many people without jobs and without options, but on the other hand it also brought job options that were previously unthinkable like this great example you have cited. In conclusion, I believe that we should be open to any good option and the changes that are to come.
Things can change from one moment to the next, nothing is certain, only change, having the ability to adapt can literally save our lives, or improve us in a way that we did not even think of at the time.
@josevas217 we are truly in the era of remote work. While criticizing corona virus we should point out how it has also help to take the world to another stage and state of life. Imagine going to work just to publish before, with your phone you can easily do it at home.
The good thing is that we all have thay zeal inbuilt in us to do that remote work, it is just that some are still afraid to give it a try.
This is the era of remote work and it is here to stay.
For many, it has already become the norm, for others it is still not quite ready to adapt. Sad for them, I also believe that digital work is here to stay.
@josevas217 HI, Many people think that the presentiality of jobs is about to return with vaccines, but I am one of those who think that the world in little more than a year has taken an irreversible path.
It is likely that some jobs will resume the face-to-face model, others will be more of a hybrid, between going to work and being at home working, but yes, it is a point of irreversibility that there is now around that.
This was good and bad at the same time, many people were left without jobs and perhaps not knowing how to use a computer relatively well would make it difficult for them to get a new job
This is also true, especially for older people, who never learned to work with a computer, a few decades ago a computer was not available to everyone, unfortunately.
