Including Side Hustles on Your Resume: The Ultimate Guide

January 23, 2020 By Amanda from My Life I Guess Leave a Comment

It seems like everyone has side hustles these days. Whether it’s to make extra money, pursue an interest or passion, or to learn a new skill, it’s work that we choose to do on the “side” of our day jobs. Yet few people think to include their side hustles on their resume.

Working on your own doesn’t make it any less relevant than your other work experience because side hustles are still work! Sometimes a lot of work (and time and energy).

Like any traditional job, they teach you valuable, transferable skills that employers are looking for – skills like time management, multi-tasking, and showing initiative. They also help to further develop your talents by putting them to use in tangible ways.

Not including these skills, talents, and experiences on your resume could be a mistake that could cost you that new job you’re hoping to get.

January 9, 2020 By Amanda from My Life I Guess Leave a Comment

A bad boss. At some point in our lives, we will all have at least one, and we need to know how to overcome a horrible boss when we have one.

In my seemingly never-ending struggle to find a good, permanent, full-time role, horrible bosses have been a big factor.

After having a boss that was physically abusive towards 2 of my colleagues, and extremely verbally and emotionally abusive to us all, I thought that there was no possible way I could ever have a boss more horrible than that.

But last year, I was proven wrong.

December 19, 2019 By Michael Dinich

Are you looking for a lucrative side hustle or full-time gig? Learning how to make money with YouTube videos could be the right thing for you.

Why YouTube?

Because it’s one of those online places you go to find everything!

If you want a recap of a sports highlight from last night, or ten years ago, you can find it. If you want to learn how to fix a household issue or sell items on eBay, you go to YouTube. Or, if you happen to be an avid fisherman and you want to learn a new technique, YouTube is your place.

YouTube contains infinite amounts of information – it’s the second largest search engine after Google.

It’s also a phenomenal vehicle for entertainment. If you have a specific interest (like ultimate Frisbee) or you want to watch a clip from your favorite childhood television show, YouTube has a seemingly limitless inventory of this type of content.

How Does Poshmark Work: A Full Review

December 4, 2019 By Daniella @ I Like To Dabble

Who wouldn’t like to have a little extra cash these days? Whether through your favorite side hustle, a part-time job, passive income via investments or any other means. One way I’ve found to make some extra money is with Poshmark. In today’s post, How Does Poshmark Work, I’ll show you how I use Poshmark to buy and sell used brand named items online.

I started using Poshmark about two years ago when my wife started selling guitars on ebay. After posting some brand name items like purses and shoes on ebay I came across Poshmark, an app that was designed for those specific items.

I had to check it out, so I signed up with a friend’s sign up code and got a free $5. Then I started listing some of the same stuff I had listed on eBay along with clothes that didn’t fit me any longer.

Now, I could’ve taken those clothes to a clothing resale shop where I would probably make $2 on each garment, or sell it on Poshmark for 400% more.

Naturally, I chose the latter.
