In the past, not even that old, a few years ago people worked in one office with one boss and one stable career path, which was video editing, video editing until they died. But now many people have two jobs at once. There are those who freelance 2 or more at once. There are contracts per project. There are even those who juggle several rollers from home. Welcome to the Geek Economy Era. A place where you will be a very flexible worker but also full of uncertainty. You may have a lot of money or a lot of money . For some people this is a golden opportunity and chance. But for others, this is a really big pressure . Your salary will never be fixed, your benefits will be minimal and you have to be on in quotes to stay relevant. You might work more, but some smart people might build automation and work less. And this is what makes it even trickier. It's not just jobs that are changing, but companies are also starting to change, starting to adapt. They need people who can hit the ground running, people who adapt quickly, and people who are ready to work based on needs. The person who is satset . It's no longer about a permanent position, but about what contribution you can immediately feel when you join. So, you have to ask yourself, what can keep me relevant in this ever-changing system? Because in the gig economy era, you are not only required to work more flexibly, but also to have clear value, both as an individual and as part of a larger system. In this video, we will discuss the gig economy from the perspective of employees, companies, and what strategies you should implement. Stay tuned and get ready to rethink the definition of work and career in the present and future. Welcome to carrier advice by 1%. [Music] We start from the employee's point of view. In this era, employees are required to do more than just be able to work. If you can't do the tasks according to your job, that's not enough. You will be easily replaced and replaced not by humans anymore but by AI. According to the report on the future of jobs from WF or the World Economic Forum, it is estimated that 60% of jobs will require new skills with cognitive and technological abilities being the most important skills and could be your job in 2027. From my prediction, it's not 2030, it seems like it's starting to become extinct now. What is sought is not who is the most diligent but who is the most adaptive, who learns quickly, who can use digital tools and understand efficient work methods. Technology is no longer just the responsibility of IT teams or technical people, but everyone must understand AI, everyone must understand tools. From any field must start to lag. So, you must be able to take advantage of digital tools to increase your productivity. Instead of being confused every time you are asked to learn something new. If you are told to learn something new and you are still haho-haho, it is still difficult, and you still don't use digital tools, you will be left behind. And employees who understand technology will be able to have several jobs at once. So they will be able to sell themselves, sell themselves in quotation marks, through freelance platforms, through sources using AI and algorithms to lighten the workload from drafting to scheduling to creating their own work systems using automation tools. Nowadays, you can create a website in just a few minutes . You can manage your work, not your work can control you. For example, we can see that the platform that is currently really hyped is using ODU. So, this OD is an example, I'll give this example without coding, without any hassle. You can open odu.com, create a free account, create a website really fast. You select the website module, you can create it using a website builder, you answer a few questions and the AI immediately creates a website, preparing the website for you. So, if you now want to start a business using this website, you can. You can also sell directly. There is an e-commerce application from ODU and it's still free, Guys. Hosting is free. You can directly share your website with your clients or customers. So now it's easy, it's just a matter of whether you want to use it or not. An example is the odu. Well, if you don't use tools like this, you will slowly become technologically illiterate. You will be left behind. Skills that were previously considered superior will start to be replaced by software, automation templates or AI and tools that can do the same things that you used to do for hours or weeks. Now it can be a matter of minutes or even seconds. This is where it is important for you to start getting to know and utilizing digital tools. It doesn't have to be complicated, you can start a platform like ODU. Yes, at the end of the video I will also share how you can take advantage of this ODU. But before that, we will first discuss the perspective of companies in this era of the geek economy, which will be increasingly reluctant to recruit full-timers. From the company's perspective, recruiting full-time employees means a long-term commitment . There are fixed costs. So it's not just about paying taxes, but companies also have to pay salaries, allowances, and BPJS, training, and leave . Meanwhile, business needs are not always stable. Sometimes there are a lot of projects coming in, but there are also times when the projects are really quiet. Well, here freelancers or part-timers will be called. Freelancers and part-timers will be the kings of the present and the future. In economics, it makes more sense than having to pay BPJS, rather than having to do onboarding and so on, it's better to just do it like that. Hire people who are already good at what they do and then leave. Here is a research from Upwork that shows that 75% of companies plan to maintain the use of freelancers and even increase it for flexibility and access to talent. So in the future, companies will hire based on needs only. Only when there is a project, only when I need it . And who will they hire? Hire the best but cheapest. So, you have to be good. You also have to maintain your competitiveness so that later you can set cheaper, more affordable prices. If you want to charge high prices, you have to be even better because the company does n't have to think about fixed costs. And companies can now also recruit talent from anywhere without regional boundaries without having to build new offices. This is an example. If you want to explore the web tre field, here is an example on webtry. Care, you can see that companies all over the world are now starting to hire remotely without any territorial boundaries without having to build an office. So you can work for people in the US, people in Switzerland and so on. What is the impact on workers? In the end, many workers who live in the gray zone, as I said at the beginning, will be prosecuted more harshly, squeezed without long-term certainty. This is an opportunity but also a threat. Interesting, isn't it? Interesting. Flexibility, yes. You can work anywhere. You can work while WFC in Bali, right? But what can you do or not get a job at all? So in the end, it all comes back to the personal values that you can offer. How much is your value in this era of capitalism? Yes, that will definitely have to be proven with productivity. Prove it to the company. So what can you do for workers ? The first thing you have to do and can do is build a digital portfolio. You build a small business for yourself whose contents are your digital portfolio. So, for example, what is your name when you create a website? For example, if your name is like that, you create Evanxyz.com. So now it's not a matter of degrees, people don't seem to care what degree you have. Unless a bachelor's degree is required, like medicine, law, maybe psychology, for practice. But other than that people do n't seem to care. The important thing is that you can work. You can show value. So where does it start? From portfolio. There you will see from your portfolio how you work, what your results are, and where you have worked . So, at least you have to build a digital portfolio. Earlier I showed you how to make a website, you can start using ODU. Yes, my suggestion is to create your own brand, a small business. So, you have your own brand that you completely control. You control the traffic, you control the revenue, you control the costs. So, you can also learn to start a business. The second is upskilling, yes. So, you have to keep improving your skills. Skills that are relevant today may be obsolete next year, yes. lost to GPT charge, lost to Gemini, Cilot, and others. So it's important to keep learning new things through online courses, through small projects, always trying new technologies. The third is to master digital work tools. So, upskilling includes mastering new digital tools . So, don't forget to keep updating. At least, at least besides watching 1% of YouTube, you watch YouTube AI , you watch YouTube tools, you watch how crypto web 3 can now change finance, can change various industries, you check that. And don't forget networking, okay? So good networking can be a source of projects. Well, that's why in the video after this, I've also discussed internships versus organizations where both of these things are important, one of which is networking. So, after that, what can you do? What you can do is please make a system. Yes, the last one is make a system. So, you have to have an efficient, measurable work system. So, what will happen in the Geig Economic era? Not later, now in the Economic Geek era you can't just rely on Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. That's stale. Nowadays, there are a lot of tools like that. So to manage clients, manage stock, manage reports, it takes time, is prone to errors, and is difficult to track. If, for example, the tools are not good enough. So, my suggestion is that apart from having a website made through odu.com, you also have to use this, there are also features from odu.com for various things, starting from CRM, accounting, inventory, project management, even for managing procurement of goods. So this OD is like all in one. You can manage everything in one efficient and neat dashboard. And this is it so far, you can access various features here. There is a limit, but as long as it hasn't reached the limit, it's still free. And OD is also currently undergoing a large-scale expansion in Indonesia as far as I know. ODU will also hold special events in the future for those of you who want to learn their applications while you can also network with business people and other participants from various industries. The 1% team itself has come, has participated in that. You can just note down the date and location. This is for the next one. So, for those of you who have never used tools like this, it's better if you try to improve yourself now. Try one by one. Because those who can survive are those who are structured, those who can continue to adapt. You can try ODU for free, you can also try it if you are from a business or company, you can consult with experts from ODU too. It's free. So, now we are at a point where the work system has changed completely. So it's no longer about having one job for life doing the same thing over and over again, but in the future it's about how you can continue to be relevant, how you can continue to be flexible, how you have clear value as a human being in this era of capitalism. Because later you will be measured based on that value which will generate money. In my opinion, this could be a great opportunity. So build your portfolio, hone your skills, understand the tools, use the tools, create a system. And for those of you who have a business, it is very important to build a strong system because in the end you have to be ready to adapt and hopefully you are ready. Finally, I am 1%. Well, thanks [Music]
