work from home to prepare online for opsc OAS Exam

Work from home and online jobs are the talk of the people across the globe. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, 'work from home' and 'online jobs' are the buzz words. In the present global pandemic situation, there is a constant fear among the people about their safety and risk involved in their life. So we should ask these questions to ourselves:

1. Is our work pandemic proof?
2. Can our work or business sustain government lockdown?
We should think about these two questions.
So creating our online presence is the need of the hour. We should promote our virtual presence everywhere.we should avoid our physical presence as far as possible.

Internet connection and laptop are the basic requirements to work from the home.
Most of the working professionals nowadays are getting bored with their regular 9- 5 job format. I am telling you; getting money but working from your own comfortable place is the nice thing that everyone aspires for. If you have a good internet connection and laptop, the entire world is your office. You can work from any place you like depending on your mood and compatibility. I understand this is going to be the work culture of the post-COVID-19 period.


POST-COVID-19 work culture

There is a trending voice among the masses for working from the home. Online work culture is getting the momentum day by day. The present-day COVID-19 virus situation has made this mindset more potent. One more thing I want to tell you is about safety. As a mechanical engineer, I understand safety is the most important thing in life. It comes in first place in everything. we can't afford the risk of negotiation with our safety precautions. So working in a safe environment is the idea I am trying to convince you. Work is a must kind of thing. we have to work at any cost for our living. Without work sustenance of life is impossible. So my blog tag line 'work is a must but safety is first' has got the prominence. So we should work but without compromising with our safety precautions.
The mindset of people in the post-COVID-19 period is going to be more inclined towards this concept.' The more you avoid the physical presence is the better' is the new idea of our society. The Internet is going to be the new basic need of our society. Starting from the destitute to affluent sections people will feel the need for the internet everywhere. Digitization of everything is the new standard of living of everything globally. Since I belong to India, I can talk about more South Asian conditions. Digitization of everything is the new buzz word here. The concept of digital India and online transactions are nowadays getting momentum in Indian society. Since the historic demonetization happened in India, the idea of online transactions is spreading its tentacles even in Indian remote villages. So 'online work' and 'work from home' are the new style of work culture is going to be very popular in Indian society.
