   If you aren’t happy with your full-time job, but the fear of losing a steady income is holding you back from trying something new, read on. We’ve asked personal finance and employment experts for tips on thriving in the "gig economy."
   【R1】______
   Instead of paying a pricey tuition at a local college to pick up a new skill, sign up for massive open online courses (MOOCs), which are often free or low-cost. "Available to anyone with an Internet connection, MOOCs offer high-quality virtual courses from some of the world’s best universities," reports Forbes. "You’ll find courses in computer programming, engineering, graphic design, leadership, and many other subjects. They even have integrated programs that build to certificates or degrees which can help you demonstrate your knowledge to others."
   【R2】______
   Don’t be put off by job listings for full-time positions; you should still apply. "Companies create job listings with intentions of hiring in-house people, but will often hire contractors because there is less paperwork and regulation or because a contractor can provide more specialized work," Shudam says. Or they may hire you on a short-term position while they’re looking for the right person to fill the full-time job.
   【R3】______
   Going above and beyond for a client will be your new standard, says Shudam. That may mean answering emails at all hours of the day and accepting that at times you may lose money, if a client needs a revise you hadn’t budgeted for. "It’s part of the risk/reward with working on your own," Shudam says.
   【R4】______
   It goes without saying that you need to build a stellar reputation. "Make sure you are building quality and meaningful relationships with your employers," shares Entrepreneur. "By becoming a hiring manager’s favorite, you might even get access to unadvertised opportunities that you never knew were a possibility. And having great relationships not only increases the chances you will be hired again, it also increases the likelihood that managers will refer you to others."
   【R5】______
   The hard truth is that you’re not going to get every job you apply for, and that’s part of the gig culture. "Getting passed over on one job doesn’t prevent you from consideration for the next," explains Entrepreneur Magazine. "Keep an open mind, be persistent, and always maintain a positive outlook with your respective employers. You never know when the right opportunity will come along, and you want to make sure you are the one on their speed dial."
【R1】
