If you’ve lost your work-from-home job due to the coronavirus outbreak, there’s no need to begin the search for an in-office position if you’d like to continue working remotely. Below, we’ve provided some tips on finding and landing new remote work opportunities — and building a successful work-from-home career that will outlast the COVID-19 pandemic.

Explore the Different Types of Remote Work 

As you begin your search for new work-from-home jobs, you’ll first need to think about the specific type of remote work opportunity you’re looking for.

Several types of remote work opportunities include:
  • Side gigs like pet sitting, online tutoring, website testing, and dropshipping.
  • Freelancing your expertise as a sole trader or limited liability company (LLC).
  • Full-time remote work for companies that hire work-from-home employees. 
How to Find and Land Work-from-Home Opportunities 

Finding and landing a remote work opportunity may seem impossible in a time like COVID-19, but it’ll be easier than you think if you know where to look.
  • Search through online job boards like FlexJobs, Remotive, Dribble, and Freelancer.com.
  • Create an impressive freelancer profile on Upwork and start submitting proposals. 
  • Use your LinkedIn profile to search for freelance jobs and telecommute opportunities. 
  • Attract new clients by creating or updating your personal portfolio, utilizing your social media platforms, and learning everything you can about your target market. 
Build a Comfortable and Productive Work-from-Home Career

In order to comfortably and productively get your work done from home, you need a dedicated office space, self-motivation, and excellent written communication skills. The following tips will help you to build and maintain a productive and long-lasting work-from-home career.
  • Design a home office that fits your lifestyle and motivates you to meet your goals. 
  • Practice mindful productivity while working remotely during the coronavirus crisis. 
  • Improve collaboration in the remote work age by familiarizing yourself with digital communication tools like Slack, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. 
  • Disconnect from work at the end of each day by catching up on your favourite blogs, social media networks, and news stories.
Even if you’ve lost your work-from-home job during the coronavirus pandemic, you can find your next great remote work opportunity if you know where to focus your search. Losing a job is never easy — especially in a time like COVID-19 — but these resources will help you to find new remote opportunities so you can continue working from the comfort of your home.

GT Recycling: A unique combination of green initiatives and human rights

I was lucky enough to be given a tour of the Aylesbury-based firm, GT Recycling , by its founder William Souvatzoglou last Friday (1 April). The company's history and its activities are literally awe-inspiring. Not only is it of great benefit to the environment by preventing books, DVDs, clothes, metals and other item from going it landfill, but it is also of great benefit to the community with its numerous and generous donations to local charities. In addition, it has a heart-warming human rights success story to tell, as described very well in the 22/11/10 edition of the Business Herald , excerpted here: "Most of the staff come from the same town of Slovakia, called Levoca. According to William, they were being exploited by an unscrupulous employer based in Berkshire, until he took them under his wing. He said his staff are now fitting in well into the Aylesbury community and are embracing British culture. “Some of these people had been over here quite some time and had not ...

Different countries obviously have different sounds for the same object and actions - and that's tough enough, but you can really get into trouble if you only translate robotically (such as with translation machines) or without a proper (and especially professional) understanding of the language you are translating into.

To have this wasted with a poor translation can be an expensive mistake. Here are some mistranslations which are funny to read, but in a professional context you would not want to be on the other end of your enraged (or perhaps if you are lu...
