Cofounder of job platform for Gen Z gig workers shares what remote workers should be doing weekly

"We help brands hire college-age students, and we built our product to be transparent, low-barrier to entry, and help with imposter syndrome. Our platform is different than a Handshake or other early-talent job boards because the opportunities are very project-based, and they're mostly not full-time roles. Companies use the platform for Gen Z research, product testing, sourcing interns, ambassador programs, and content creation."

"We have a workflow tool that manages tasks and deliverables for all the gig workers, and one thing I always recommend to Gen Zs who work remotely is to send an update to their manager at the end of every week. That includes a full rundown of hot items they completed, outstanding questions, and goals for the next week. People should track this for themselves to advocate for a promotion, and let their managers know what they're doing on a weekly basis."

Home From College helps brands hire college-age students through a platform that emphasizes transparency, low barriers to entry, and support for imposter syndrome. The platform focuses on project-based, mostly non–full-time roles used for Gen Z research, product testing, sourcing interns, ambassador programs, and content creation. Approximately 90% of roles are flexible, gig-based; opportunities can be as short as one day and average around three months, with some converting to full-time. Remote work is common, so workers should send weekly manager updates detailing completed items, outstanding questions, and next-week goals. Workers should track accomplishments to advocate for promotions and use daily check-ins and short 15-minute meetings to maintain alignment.
