You're a recent graduate looking for your first job. You have heard about the concept of the "gig economy" and have been wondering how it can apply to your situation. You want to work as a taxi driver, but you have no idea where to start. You have decided to create a job application on your own and you need some help.

What is the "gig economy" and how does it apply to me?

The "gig economy" is a new concept that describes a new kind of workplace, where people can freely choose to be self-employed and work as they please. The idea is that of a "gig worker," who is independent and works for himself or herself. The concept is also inspired by the idea of entrepreneurship and the sharing economy. It is not an entirely new concept, but it is a new form of the economy that is emerging and is currently experiencing an unprecedented boom.

Why are people becoming "gig workers"?

Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the demand for freelancers. People have decided to set up their own companies and work as freelancers. This is not only because there is a lack of full-time jobs, but also because freelancers offer a flexible way of working and life. This makes it easier to balance work and life. It is also a way to avoid being tied to a specific company. Many people are choosing to set up their own company because it gives them the opportunity to have more freedom and control over their work.
