At times like these ? with politicians beating their chests and making tall promises ? there?s a lot of finger-pointing and blame about outsourcing ?American? jobs to other countries, like China, the Philippines, Thailand, and India. Many people blame greedy ?big business.? I say, baloney!
If there is blame to be had, then much of America is at fault.
To draw a parallel in behavior, I often hear companies bemoan a competitor stealing customers and earnings potential. In truth, that?s never the case. As I say often, competitive leadership and brand reputation are given away by a company or organization by not listening to customers and/or not aware of changing trends in the market place. Same thing with jobs. It?s not just big corporations involved in shipping ?American? jobs abroad.
Countless businesses ? from large companies to small consultancies ? are finding skilled, affordable help off-shore through such online services as EasyOutsource.com and oDesk.com. Do you need a virtual assistant who will work hard and thoroughly for $2.00 an hour? Need a talented computer animation specialist who works for $1.50 an hour. Sure. There?s no office politics, no sick time, no whining.
It?s all handled online.
EasyOutsource.com opens the door to the expertise and skills of Filipinos who are familiar with American business needs, friendly, speak English, and hungry to do a good job ? because that enhances their reputation, leading to more work. Need to speak with your virtual assistant? Use Skype. It?s free.
At oDesk.com, you can find people all over the world with expertise to handle bookkeeping, creative design, customer service, highly technical server and network support, and even ? researching and writing news stories. ?
News stories?! Yes. Newspapers in the U.S. are already using competent journalists who are working ? from the Ukraine to Thailand ? to research and write stories for American readers ? a fraction of the cost.
These are not isolated examples. Online technology today has removed barriers for having a virtual company with competent workers. Chances are you will never meet them in-person but they will deliver outstanding results, work for a fraction of American wages, won?t ask for benefits, and they can be trusted ? because their reputation for future jobs is on-the-line.
Like it or not, this is where we are in America. With the possible exception of military weapons, our country has not yet learned how to compete.
