According to Uber, beginning later this year, drivers and couriers who opt into the program can complete "digital tasks" within Uber's Driver app. These tasks can include submitting a video of themselves speaking in their native language, uploading pictures of specific everyday items, or presenting documents written in a different language. After tasks are completed, the earnings will be in the users' balance within 24 hours. Compensation depends on the time commitment to complete tasks and their complexity.

I started my career at IBM in digital marketing. My brother used to say to me, "You're always going to have a job." I've been through layoffs and worked at companies that shut down, but I never really had to look for a job in my role. My last position was as director of e-commerce at Badcock Home Furniture. I made $120,000 as my base salary.

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.
