#PINNED: Part-time jobs for those who will continue being home-based
#Pinned makes it easier for young Filipinos to discover meaningful and enriching content and stories that will help them separate music from the noise, wheat from the chaff, and flowers from the weeds.
All our stories are written by young creatives who made it their life mission to know everything there is to know about how fellow young adults can make the most out of their limited down time every day, every week.
Let’s face it, COVID-19 isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. We might as well resign ourselves to the fact that physical distancing and the stay-at-home directives are here to stay. If you’re at home and currently doing nothing but spend your time glued to your phone or laptop screens, then we might have something for you. Here are home-based gigs that you can do at home to help augment your income.

With this job, you will be required to watch videos or listen to audio recordings and make a written copy of them. Some tasks may also require transcriptionists to review oral reports and correct errors, depending on the general guidelines provided by the employer.
This job requires fast and accurate typing skills, and proficiency in English grammar and spelling. This job can be perfect during your down time especially when your kid is sleeping, and you have minimum distractions.
