Watching and listening to WFAA TV today, I heard the news reader talk about GIGs and Office Ports. This strategy is for unemployed to gather at executive suites to search for short term assignments. Executive suites or “office ports” have office equipment, Internet, telephone answering, reproduction and other office services. This idea reminds me of labor pools where laborers gather waiting for potential jobs offered by small business people driving by seeking labor assistance on a daily basis.
One person at the office port said that she received as many as three or more assignments in a given day. She is having trouble keeping all the balls in the air. However, she is employed and earning money!
Another advantage of an office port is the job seekers share information about available jobs. Frequently an opportunity is a requirement for several workers.
Please comment in this blog about GIGs and Office Ports and the locations of Office Ports.
Thanks! Glyn
