Resilience

Long-term chronic exposure to the daily hassles and challenges of the gig work life may derail some workers.  But succumbing to burnout in the face of repeated challenges is not the only option. You can develop resilience by adapting to frequent setbacks through practiced persistence and bricolage. 

 

 Persistence

In the unpredictable context of the gig economy, it is necessary to commit to persistence. Developing a fruitful and fulfilling career in the gig economy will require individuals to hang in for the long game. This will be especially difficulty in the early days if you are not able to secure a contract for a job you felt suited for. But, it is critical to continue to seek out opportunities for self-development. 

Bricolage 

The second part of the resilience equation is adaptability, which you can realize through bricolage. You may perceive your resources limited, but in a gig work life, learning to work with what you have can be a critical way you can realize your goals despite these obstacles.. By creatively combining your resources, you will be able to maximize them and, as a result, effectively cope with and adapt to the setbacks you may face..
