The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unexpected event and undoubtedly affected our finances, amongst other things. The lockdown in March restricted us to our homes, with limited access to work and on-site education. With much time on my hands and little to do, I started looking for jobs to keep me busy and save for the future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began applying to temporary jobs at supermarkets, available due to an increase in demand for essential supplies. I applied through the company portals and websites like Indeed but with little luck. There were also few suitable jobs that could be done from home. I realised that online tutoring was also in demand due to teaching and exam cancellations. So, I decided to apply to online tutoring and was luckily offered a job soon after applying, owing to my previous tutoring experience. Online tutoring offers a decent and regular income with flexible hours and the ability to work from the comfort of your own home. It also provides the opportunity to develop personal skills and boost your CV to improve future employability.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another mode of earning involves participation in online surveys. Although in my experience this is often time consuming and requires the completion of a significant number of surveys before a decent reward can be earned. Instead, participation in King\u2019s research, advertised in a fortnightly email circular, offers better rewards for your time. For example, completing a 30-minute surveys can earn you \u00a35-\u00a310 in Amazon vouchers. This is an easy way to earn some money, whilst helping the scientific community; a definite win-win!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
