Here We’ve Turned Five Career Courses to Jobs in Kenya Through Freelance

For every problem, there is a solution. For every person without a job, with skills, with knowledge, holding a career certificate on one thing or another, there is a job available near you. All that one requires is a little bit of creativity to develop their skill into a career. In this article we give you show you possible career ideas for anyone who will add freelance to their skills set. Freelance is simply a ticket to jobs where others are sent away with 'we are not employing'.

Before we go into how you can use your freelance skills to turn any knowledge you have into a job, let us explain freelance work. Most people have come to understand freelance work as the kind of tasks they can do on sites such as Elance.com, Freelancer.com, and iWriter.com. In fact, most have a concept that the most lucrative work you can do on these sites is writing. A few also add such tasks as photography, web design, coding, and in some cases translation and typing jobs.
This concept is right, but it locks out those without those particular professional skills. So what happens to those who have professional skills such as marketing, catering, events management, accounting, nursing, etc? Can you work as a freelancer?

Yes, you can, and you do not have to write, design a website, translate, or do typing or data processing jobs. You can utilize the skill for which you have a certificate and using freelance skills as an added skill, turn the certificate that could not seem to get you a job into a wonderful and paying career. Here is just a sample of five trades, common in Kenya, for which you can use freelance skills to build a paying career for yourself. The name of the course you did may of course vary from what we call it here, but the idea is the course has a skill-set useful when working as a freelancer.

Nursing Practice
Are you a trained nurse but cannot seem to land a job? With freelance skill you can easily approach hospitals and individuals, select one area of your entire course, and turn that into an income? Utilising the general course structure, we work with you INDIVIDUALLY to come up with segments of your trade which can become job openings for you.

Tourism and Hospitality
Some of the best placed graduates in Kenya are those in the Tourism and Hospitality trade. Unfortunately, hundreds, maybe even some you know personally, are languishing at home — jobless. The years are passing by as they and their family continue waiting for a job opportunity to materialize. Are they well placed, really? Yes! There are tens of things in this course you can turn into income charging hotels, charging transport companies, charging tourists, charging a whole chain of people who service this industry. If you have this type of certificate, enrol in the Freelance Mastery eCourse and find lucrative job areas.

Journalism and Media Studies
So how many newspaper companies are there in Kenya? How many radio stations, TV stations, magazines, book publishers, etc? How many graduates do they absorb per year? How many graduates hold this certificate at the close of every academic cycle? You can see why you need to get ideas and skills on how to work as a freelancer to get jobs that these institutions as well as individuals will not ordinarily employ staff for. Get the freelancing skills and turn joblessness into good cash.

Accounting Studies
When one does an accounting course, the assumption is they must eventually be employed in some company someplace. Yet, in over a decade of working with various companies, I noted many accounting jobs are not done by staff. There are tons of accounting aspects outsourced for various reasons; cost cutting, secrecy, audit, expertise, and many other reasons. Can you be one of the accountants given such outsourced jobs? Find out how freelance skills will place you on the frontline for corporate outsourced jobs in accounting. 

Secretarial and Office Practice
There is no person who can make an online income in this digital age like the person with secretarial skills. How come? Because thousands of small day to day jobs in the corporate world will hardly ever attract employment, but the company would be delighted to hand them to a freelancer. The trouble is, when you sat in that class, they tuned you to look for an office job. Right course; wrong mindset! With the Paula Thayrow Freelance Mastery eCourse, you can quickly see the many opportunities out there and turn your certificate into money. 

Community Development and Social Work
Although one new charity body, NGO or CBO will be formed today, it will not immediately translate into one more job or such like thing. Yet, these newly formed institutions, older ones, and the larger ones have a lot of daily work that could easily be handed over to a worker with Community Development and Social Work Skills. The only problem is that they have no intention of employing you ever. But when you can offer the services as a freelancer, they will give you their work for as long as you are available. Now that is a winning position.
