It provides flexibility and allows you to choose when, where, and how much you work. More and more independent contractors, freelancers, and project-based workers make up the labor market internationally – and this has resulted in a shift in how people find work as well. SAPRO’s approach to this shifting landscape is SAPRO Connect – a dynamic platform where we find work for you, and based on your skills and expertise, we will place you with firms globally. Your career, your way. **To make sure that you capitalize on the global gig economy, you need to approach your career as a business, with some key steps:** | | --- | | Identify your skills. Make a list of your skills and experiences, and make sure that you present them well. In the current industry landscape, generalists are in demand – so if you have skills that complement your base degree and experience, make sure that it’s visible and that you showcase how it could benefit a potential client. | | Always be professional. When you work in the gig economy, your personal brand is core to everything – including referrals and repeat work. Aim to deliver high-quality work on time, communicate effectively with clients, and be reliable. Focus on consistently delivering value, and you will already be ahead of the game. | | Build a portfolio of evidence. If you say you are good at something, sometimes you are going to need to prove it. Build a portfolio of evidence that showcases your skills and experience and be ready to show your potential clients what you are capable of. | | Testimonials and recommendations. Collect positive feedback and recommendations and add these to your portfolio. It adds a third-party view to your portfolio and gives potential clients peace of mind that you will deliver the work you promise. LinkedIn is also a great way of showcasing recommendations in a public way – and highlights your personal brand reputation online. | #### Need Auditing, Risk Assessment and Regulatory Compliance Talent?
