Educational qualifications and age
Many people are worried about their educational qualifications and age, whether the difference in educational qualifications and age will affect them when it comes to freelancing, or whether it is possible to become a freelancer if you are under 18 years old. In short, since freelancing does not require you to go to any office and get a job, there is no need for an interview with a certificate. What is needed here is work skills. And if we talk about age, there is no fixed age here either. If you are under 18, you do not have a Veteran ID Card or Passport. However, all the documents that you need for freelancing, you have to use the documents of your parents or siblings. Do the work yourself. Only registration will be in their name. In this case, there will be no problem.
But as a freelancer, wherever you go online with a person, the work you do will be Bangladeshi, Indian, or American - so imagine that the person you work with must have a massage / coverage, so No? If you know Hindi. However, if you are from India, you can speak Hindi, and if you are Bangladeshi, you can speak Bengali and if you are American, you have no choice but to speak English. In fact, Europeans and Americans do more online work, and their language is English.
So without English you can start freelancing but start learning the job. Besides, you have to write, read and understand English well before you finish learning the job through English language training. If you can speak, you will get more benefits.
I can speak English fluently, what will happen to me?
You may think you are not very good at English. You can write roughly but get stuck. No problem, if you can write. But let me give you an example. Maybe the matter will be clearer.
Suppose you are from North Bengal and working in an office in South Bengal, where they speak a regional language. But if you use the language of North Bengal, will the office staff or the owner understand correctly? Yes, you can understand a little bit, but it will take a lot of time to understand the whole thing and there will be trouble here.
Think of it this way, Europeans, Americans think βtime is moneyβ. And what would they want to waste hours upon hours in conversation with you over a job? There is no shortage of skilled language learners in Bangladesh and India. So you can't learn this job with any kind of deception, you can't work. So start studying English from today. It will be very useful in your future. Not just for freelancing.
The importance of English for a good career now is you. You know better.
What skills are required?
Suppose you know English well. So can you do freelancing? Yes, of course, but ask yourself a question:
Suppose you bought a bike, but you don't know how to drive, how to neutral by pressing gears, how to turn on the lights, how to hold hard brakes, etc. Can you ride the bike in this situation? Your answer must be 'No'.
So, you need to have a good idea about the machine you are going to work with. You will work on computers and the Internet, but you must be computer and internet savvy. If there is a problem with the corner of the computer function, you can go to another car. If you run or have problems with your Facebook account, if you run to someone else for help, then freelancing is not for you. Freelancing is for those of you who have experience solving these problems.
So if you have a major problem in such a corner, you need to have the skills to solve it yourself. If the problem is not solved in any way, you may need to take it to a repairman.
Even then you have to have experience in all the basics. The following is a list of them:
1. You need to know how to turn the computer on and off.
2. On the subject of computer Microsoft Office programs. Can be. If you use a smartphone. All you need to know. (In this case you can take a 6 month training for computer.)
3. Typing speed should be good. In this case there is no specific speed in the corner. The better you can do, the better.
4. You need to know how to install and remove software.
5. Must have a good idea about internet browsing.
. If you have a problem with a computer or the internet or you can't do something somewhere, you need to know how to solve the problem by searching on Google without asking your friend for help.
. Learn how to install Windows.
. If there is a problem in the corner function, you must have experience in solving it.
9. If there is any problem related to software in the computer, you have to have the knowledge to solve it by searching on Google.
You'll be clearer if you know a little bit about the list here, but you know about 80% of the functions of that phone. And that's exactly how you know how to use mobile. If there is a problem finding something or browsing the internet, you solve it yourself. That's exactly what you need to know about computers and the Internet.
On the other hand, if you only read about Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, etc., then you are far behind. You need to be more digital. Not only does this mean digital, you need to know more, for example, after visiting an unfamiliar website, you can research the website to find out which website, which company's website, whether an account can be played here, what information is required to open an account, etc. Above all, you need to be very knowledgeable about computers and the Internet.
