經濟不景下，搵外快吊命大法
疫情下不少行業都受影響，有些公司要求員工停薪留職，有些甚至裁員，不少人經歷數個月還未找到工作的困境。在失業率上升、短期內難以找到長工的情況下，兼職、炒散、freelance會否是另類可行方法？免至於零收入？以下一些低門檻工種，大家或許可以留意一下。 1. 送外賣、步兵：由於港人在家時間增加，就算打工仔中午都多了選擇買外賣回公司吃，外賣需求突然增加，各大外賣平台如Uber eats、foodpanda、deliveroo對外賣送遞員的需求有增無減。申請手續快捷簡易，快則一至兩天就能開工，毋須經驗學歷，有車牌、沒車牌皆可，入職門檻幾乎是最低；另外，為應客戶要求，一些服務行業也會為顧客提供上門或到指定地點交收的服務，所謂的「步兵」應運而生。這些或許都是解決燃眉之急的門路。
