After listening to the talk, I am motivated and impressed by the concept of crowd sourcing and freelance working. Global well-known entrepreneurs such as Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon), Jack Ma (co-founder of Alibaba.com), Mark Zuckerberg (co-founder of Facebook), Garrett Camp (co-founder of UBER) and Brian Chesky (co-founder of Airbnb) have well-used the crowd sourcing platform and make such a great transformation of digital economy. They are such a great inspiration for all of us especially for those who are about to kick start their freelancing career.
Furthermore, I get to know that being a freelancer not only allows me to work flexibly, it also motivates me to sharpen my hard skills and keep it up to date to be a competitive freelancer in global platform. As a student, I can also generate extra income whenever I’m free to reduce parents’ burden. It is also a great chance for me to get myself involved in global
platform to widen my vision before I graduate and step into the real society. Working as a freelancer will also sharpen my soft skills including communication skill, problem solving skill, strong work ethic, time management ability and others as I might need to deal with clients from other country and at the same time to take care of my study.
In a nutshell, I strongly agree that GLOW is really a good platform for all of us, especially for non- experienced freelancers as they give training and guidance from basic to advance. From joining this program, it gives us an alternative way to make a living as well as make contribution to our country’s economy.
