Bank Raya was established with a vision to empower gig economy in Indonesia by enhancing digital infrastructure. Let’s take a look at the definition of gig economy and the type of jobs that can be categorized as gig economy jobs.
The word ‘gig’ in the term gig economy comes from a commonly used word in the arts and entertainment industry. A gig is basically a project that is currently being worked on by an artist or entertainer. By taking a gig, the artist will receive compensation based on the amount of work done and the time it takes to finish the project. This system has been widely adopted in various industries. Thus, a gig worker may be defined as a person who is paid based on the amount of work they do, instead of monthly salary.
The following are some examples of jobs that can be categorized as gig economy jobs:
1. Freelance writer
A freelance writing job, such as a content writer or technical writer, is an interesting gig. If you like to write and are skilful in employing good writing techniques, a good internet connection may be all you need to start your content writing or technical writing gig from the comfort of your own home.
2. Graphic designer
A skilful graphic designer may find themselves in high demand by a lot of employers, from event organizers and cafes to start-ups and large corporations. The competency that is often required by employers offering a graphic design gig usually is proficiency in design software apps.
