Talis, a seasoned entrepreneur and active life-long learner, has found a way to keep herself busy, earn extra money and enjoy a change of pace in her days &#8211; <strong>GoWorkaBit via work camping Foxways.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>GoWorkaBit is a platform that gives you the flexibility to work when you want, how <strong>much you want and when you want<\/strong>. This freedom is crucial for Talis, who has other things to do besides work &#8211; training, travelling and running his own business. It is precisely because of this flexibility that he decided to join.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cGo work for a while!\u201d &#8211; why flexible working?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>\u201cThe name of the GoWorkaBit platform itself says it all &#8211; <em>Go work a bit!<\/em>\u201d, Talis grins. As an entrepreneur used to planning her own time, it was a logical step to try the workampus format. \u201cExtra money is always welcome, and most importantly, I can choose when I work and how much I work.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<p>But this freedom is not just a financial bonus &#8211; it&#8217;s also a lifestyle choice. For Talis, it&#8217;s important that work doesn&#8217;t take over his life, but that it can fit in flexibly, with room for hobbies and personal development. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Workday at Foxways &#8211; a routine to keep the mind fresh<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>When the weather is cold and the days are short, working at Foxway is like a routine for Talis, keeping him active. \u201cDuring the winter, I use Foxways almost every day,\u201d he says. There&#8217;s a steady flow of tasks, a varied company and managers who do their jobs well.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Talis tests smart devices using diagnostic software to check their health. &#8220;The job requires precision and systematicity &#8211; I like to challenge myself to see how I, as an experienced person, can do such a \u2018young person&#8217;s job\u2019. I think I can!&#8221; she adds confidently.<\/p>\n\n<p>One thing he particularly appreciates is <strong>Foxway&#8217;s team leaders<\/strong>. \u201cI admire their poise and their ability to mentor people &#8211; they teach new employees the ropes in a way that makes them self-sufficient quickly,\u201d says Talis. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-background\">\ud83d\udca1 Read Liina&#8217;s story: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.goworkabit.com\/tooampsud-paindlik-too-emana\/\">how to find a balance between work, family and entrepreneurship<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does flexible working allow?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Working through GoWorkaBit gives Talis control over his schedule.  <strong>If the need arises to leave earlier, he can simply move the start of his working day.<\/strong>  You don&#8217;t find that kind of freedom in a normal full-time job.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cI can choose when I work and at what time. If I need to leave work early, I can always bring my working hours forward,\u201d he says. This allows him to seamlessly combine his other activities with work without worrying about a compulsory schedule.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are new skills useful? Absolutely! <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>While Talis&#8217; day job involves much more than testing phones, he appreciates the new skills he is learning at Foxways.  <strong>\u201cWill I need to be able to test smartphones in the future? Probably not. But learning new things will keep your mind fresh and help you stay young and energetic,\u201d he says.  <\/strong>  he shares his thoughts.<\/p>\n\n<p>For him, the work experience is not just about extra service, but also about learning new skills and continuous development.  <strong>\u201cThe more you learn and try new things, the younger you feel.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A life where work does not dictate everything<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>One of the biggest benefits of working through GoWorkaBit is the work-life balance. Talis loves travelling and attending training courses, and <strong>the flexible schedule allows her to adapt her work and personal activities as needed.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIf I need to travel or go to training courses, I can take the time and do the work when it suits me,\u201d he says. This means she doesn&#8217;t have to worry about holiday arrangements or rigid schedules &#8211; it&#8217;s all up to her. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To sum up: why choose flexible working through GoWorkaBit?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Talis&#8217; story is a great example of how the Jobcentre platform can offer valuable opportunities <strong>not only for young people, but also for experienced professionals<\/strong> who want more freedom, self-development and balance in their lives.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you too want to decide when and where you work, and find new and interesting experiences, take a look at GoWorkaBit&#8217;s job listings and find the right job for you!<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-call-to-action uagb-block-408057a8 wp-block-button\"><div class=\"uagb-cta__wrap\"><h5 class=\"uagb-cta__title\">See job vacancies<\/h5><p class=\"uagb-cta__desc\">There are hundreds of different job offers on the GoWorkaBit platform every day, all over Estonia, and we pay officially.
