MIKE

Extra income through MergeSkills

Mike's a skilled electrical engineer at a large firm that works mostly on government contracts. Although he works full-time, he'd like to earn some extra money. While he knows the nuts and bolts of engineering, he doesn't have much experience in other parts of the business. When he logs into his MergeSkills account, he specifically searches for groups looking for someone with his background; in turn, he wants to collaborate with people who have a similar level of skill in their fields. His query returns several potential matches of established groups; one in particular needs someone with Mike's exact skill set. He initiates a request to join them; two days later, he's been accepted. The timing is perfect: the group is already working on a proposal for a government project discovered on the MergeSkills site, and need Mike's expertise to complete it. Within weeks, the finished proposal is on its way to the government agency - and Mike is that much closer to the extra income he wants.
