After graduation, many youngsters find it difficult to find a suitable posting and spend years searching for the ‘right job’. Some of them are hired for work which they neither like nor have an aptitude. All this leads to frustration. These youngsters can learn a lesson from the life of Renjith Kumar S, a youth who earns a decent income doing data entry for various firms.
Renjith Kumar was searching for a job after clearing his engineering exams when a friend suggested that he try his hands at data entry, an online sector. The main attraction of data entry is that one can carry out the work from any place.
When Renjith Kumar started out in 2009, he had registered with the site, mturk.com However, Indians cannot access this site now. Those interested can register with microworkers.com and join the online work force. There are several other sites offering similar services but job aspirants should take care to choose the genuine ones.
Such websites display thousands of data entry tasks of various levels. Some works involve copying e-mails, while in others, the job is to engage in surveys. Remuneration starts from one tenth of a dollar for every entry. Renjith says that for certain entries, even one dollar is paid. Some assignments bring more money for less work while others less money for more work.
All that a job aspirant needs is a laptop or desktop with a net connection. On the first month of his job back in 2009, Renjith’s income was Rs 15,000. Another advantage of data entry is that there are no targets or deadlines. But care should be taken to avoid errors. If they occur, the income will be slashed or the work may even be cancelled.
After registering in microworkers.com the data entry workers should follow the instructions in the website. Of the several tasks displayed, one can be selected. Renjith advises newcomers to choose a task which they are confident of completing easily. With the confidence of successfully completing the project, they can take up more elaborate tasks. To succeed in the field, employees should have the quality of patience. They also need to use the internet properly. Renjith too had learned the job on his own by registering in the website.
