But what are the chances of getting a job in the post COVID-19 world? Are you guys waiting for lockdown to end or are you waiting for your graduation to get completed?
Gone are the days when students used to first complete their studies and then applied for jobs. Advancement in technology and the campaigns launched by Indian Government such as Atmanirbhar Bharat, Digital India and Accelerate Vigyan are enabling people to launch their own start-ups. Likewise, what a student can do for himself in this lockdown is to apply for online jobs, have experience of work from home and prepare a strong curriculum vitae for himself.
Below I’m sharing some online jobs which anyone of you can apply according to your interest and passion. Before starting let me make one thing very clear that you may find these jobs not according to your education, but pursuing these jobs can be your source of income and will definitely boost confidence within you.
