How is it like to be a gig-worker?

“Like for many other expats, it is a challenge, because I didn’t have a job before coming to Sweden. But I like it here, and I would like to stay! Triple (local guiding app) was very easy for me, because I didn’t need to have all the paperwork, all the troubles. The biggest perk is definitely that it is a flexible job and that I don’t have to work 8h/day. I don’t have to work every day either.”

“I am willing to get a job that allows me to work outside. So, that’s why I thought about Foodora (delivery app). I am just missing a bike! Also, it’s all about student life: I need extra money and a flexible schedule as an international student. My main goal is to learn Swedish. If I know one more language, this is already a plus.” (Piotr is now in the process of getting a job, good luck!)

“I started my catering business with Gastronaut (home cooking app) two months ago. I’m enjoying it quite a lot, and I am booked for weeks already. Last month I cooked for the American Embassy. But I am still struggling with the legal part. I have no clue how I am going to do taxes yet. But I need to figure out!”
