The move towards more flexible working and the rise of the gig economy have been significant developments in today\’s job market. This shift has been accelerated by technological advancements that have made it easier than ever before to work virtually from any location. Technological advances like cloud computing and artificial intelligence are providing businesses with the ability to scale their operations quickly while also reducing costs (Anand & Dhiman 2020). This makes remote, freelance or contract positions much more attractive options for employers as they can now access a larger pool of talent without incurring additional overhead expenses.

At the same time this has enabled workers to become increasingly mobile which helps them gain access to new opportunities beyond geographical limits. By being able to choose when, where and how often they want to work these individuals can better tailor their career paths in order better meet their own needs (Deutsch 2020). For example, a freelancer could take on multiple projects at different times allowing them greater control over their schedule while still remaining productive. Additionally, this type of employment structure provides increased earning potential since payment is based on output rather than hours worked.

It appears that the move towards more flexible working models is here to stay. As technology continues advancing , so too will our methods of accessing employment both domestically and abroad opening up countless possibilities for those willing to explore new ways of making money while giving them greater freedom as well as autonomy over how they choose to live their lives.
