Your salary doesn’t have to be your only income. One option? Consulting outside your 9–5. Here’s the strategy: Find companies advertising for skills you already have. Instead of only applying for the permanent role, look at the problem they’re trying to solve. Then reach out to the hiring manager on LinkedIn and position yourself as someone who can solve that problem on a project or consulting basis. You’re not asking them to create a job for you. You’re showing them another way they could access the expertise they’re already looking for. Your next client could be sitting inside a job advert you were about to scroll past. #jobs #money #jobsearch #careeradvice #career
