Jerlene Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Would you put online jobs that you've had on your real life resume? I've worked many jobs online, good ones, but never wanted to put it on my resume because they were remote jobs. I didn't think they would be taken seriously. What do you guys think? Do or would you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-o Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Yes, why not? If it was a job and in some way you did something, you should add it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerlene Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Well, a lot of "jobs" online are freelance. I guess I could just create a "Freelance" section near my "Skills" section and list relevant microjobs I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 "Online jobs" and "freelancing" are real jobs and should be added to your resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerlene Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Interesting. I was a hiring manager and honestly I wouldn't give someone the time of day if all they had was freelance experience. I would probably just laugh at the resume and move onto the next one. If it was mixed with other experience I would continue reading though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I completely think online jobs should be added to your resume, since they could still give you relevant skills when applying for a position somewhere. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I mean you can add them to your resume but it also depends on the employer considering it legitimate work experience in the relevant field. Especially if the company isn't really well known, they may tend to forgo it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander. Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Yes, if was a job and you were getting paid a wage for it, you should add it. I've added all of my previous work online to my CV in search of a job. The real term for online jobs is known as freelancing and employers accept this on your resume.

mont86 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I would ad it to my resume. As long it was relevant to the work I was applying for, or showed my work history... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if your online activity is doing surveys, do you still put it as freelancing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilita Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 It would depend on the skills of those online jobs / freelancer jobs. Are they relevant, high-skilled jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really matter? It’s still a job. Especially if you’ve been working in the same position for quite some time, you can include it on your resume.

It's fine if you've done some kind of online job and want to put it on your resume. However, you'll be perceived far better by the recruitment staff if the skills you utilized in your online job is relevant to the position you're applying for.
