Hello, everyone!
I've been looking for a parttime job for quite a long time now, but honestly, I'm starting to wonder if my skills are enough to compete in today's job market. I currently have a fulltime job, but unfortunately, my salary isn't enough to cover my needs and financial goals, and some of my loan 😅🥲, so I'm hoping to find an additional source of income.
I'm not necessarily looking for a highpaying job right away. I'm willing to start small, learn new things, and take on opportunities that match my current skills. I just want to make use of what I already know and hopefully earn extra money outside my regular working hours.
Here are some of the things I can do so far:
- AutoCAD (2D and 3D)
• I can create 2D drawings and work with 3D models (mostly multiview projection of an object like mechanical parts, etc.) I do this as hobby cause i have a practise book for autocad.
• I'm open to doing simple drafting jobs or other tasks that match my abilities.
- SketchUp (basic knowledge)
• I use SketchUp mostly as a hobby also whenever I imagine a future business or workspace.
• For example, when I daydream about having my own studio, I like to visualize what it would look like and draw my ideas in SketchUp.
• I'm still unfamiliar with many of its features, but I enjoy using it and would love to improve.
- Microsoft Excel (basic to intermediate)
• I'm familiar with formulas such as XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, IF, SUMIFS, COUNTIFS, and INDEX-MATCH.
• I can also create PivotTables and work with data to organize, track, and summarize information.
• I'm interested in learning more advanced formulas and ways to automate repetitive tasks.
- CAD/CAM and metal fabrication
• I currently work as a CAD/CAM programmer in the metal fabrication industry.
• My job involves creating metal sheet drawings based on technical specifications or engineering drawings, assigning tools, and preparing nesting layouts for laser cutting machines.
• I'm still growing in this field, but I have actual workplace experience with CAD/CAM processes. And i use Radan Software.
- Basic IT and networking
• In my previous job, I worked in an IT department as a Network Operations Engineer.
• I have experience with basic network troubleshooting, IP addressing, networking devices, and other network-related tasks.
I know I'm not an expert in all these areas, and I'm not claiming to be one. I have a lot more to learn, but I'm willing to improve and take on tasks that I can handle.
I've also been exploring other skills that I could potentially turn into a side income, but sometimes I get overwhelmed because there are so many people offering similar services online.
I'm based in the Philippines and currently work full-time, so I'm mainly looking for remote work or flexible projects that I can do outside my working hours.
If anyone has suggestions, advice, or even small projects that might be a good fit for my current skill set, I'd be happy to hear them.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I really appreciate any advice or guidance! 🥰🥰🥰
