Should I upskill and get a side hustle if I am stuck in admin role with no career progression?

29yo graduated with a business degree. working in nonprofit sector. Stuck in admin role with no career progression and spoke to higher ups but no avail. Would like to seek advice on the way forward? Should I upskill and get a side hustle? But not much savings and hence will need to pay by instalment plans.

Hi Anon,

I use Fiveer and Upwork to take on freelance work. Fiverr offers a whole range of freelance work from graphics and design, digital marketing, video and animation to even programming. You can be someone's virtual assistant (handling spreadsheet, making appointments etc) or even do online tutoring. Whatever your interests or expertise are, there is a high chance that you can find it on Fiverr. Hence, I would highly recommend that you check it out! Upwork is similar but with a greater focus on writing/translation/editing types of freelance work.

Aside from that, I personally use an app called 'Milieu Surveys' where you can do short surveys and accumulate points. Points can be redeemed for: cash (PayNow transfer) or vouchers for supermarkets (Giant, Cold Storage, 7 eleven), Grab Food, Grab Ride and even charities donations! The only catch is you can only do one survey every day instead of multiple surveys at one go.

Edit: I have been told to remove my referral code as this question does not have a 'promo codes' tag. For those interested, please view my referral code here.

Hope this helps! (:​​​
