Working from home has become an everyday thing. For some, it has been a one in a lifetime opportunity to make some good cash as their businesses blossom. Unfortunately, some lost their jobs at the onset of the pandemic.
As for electricians, the narrative is different. Things are super amazing. These guys have been busy making installations and lots of emergency repairs. If electricians didn’t exist, people would have died of hopelessness. For some reason, the internet has a way of keeping our hopes alive during the global Covid lockdown because we get to access music, our favourite comedians, get in touch with our friends and family, and play video games. Without electricity, that would be a long-forgotten thing.
As it is, any emergency services are more expensive. It has been the case since the pandemic begun. Service providers have been hacking prices left right and centre, all in the name of COVID. It is somewhat unethical. However, for some sectors, the services went up due to the rise of prices of commodities necessary in their line of work.
What are some of the business opportunities for electricians?
All emergency electricians benefit from a crisis. The reason behind the benefit is the increase in demand for electrical energy. It is almost impossible to fight a pandemic without power. Here are some ways electricians attract business opportunities.
The need to detect, treat and try vaccines
Without electricity, health facilities cannot function. Electricians played a vital role in ensuring a 24/7 flow of electricity in hospitals anytime they were sort. Hence an increase in reliability on the part of the health institution; hence, saved the day.
E-Learning is made available
As a safety measure during the pandemic, schools closed immediately. There had to be an instant solution that was learning from home. Who to call if not electricians. Thanks to them, children can attend classes from home.
Need for a specific working environment
The pandemic office buildings need a little restructuring, and part of the restructuring has to involve wiring and installations here and there. Electricians have help to provide power to different agencies.
The use of digital tools
COVID may have disrupted a lot of things, but the digital space is not one of them. Most corporate digital marketing people lost their jobs at the beginning of the pandemic. It prompted most of them to sharpen their marketing skills through online classes. It was also an opportunity to research extensively on various aspects that relate to their line of work. Through this, they acquired guidelines on the latest trends that can aid them in sharpening their expertise.
For many SEO and digital marketing people, however, working from home did not involve a transition – many of them had already been working from home for 3, 5, 10 years of even longer. They were already adapted to the social isolation. They already had the sound of toddlers around them as they chat on the phone with clients. Yep, digital is turning to be a massive undercurrent of the Covid-19 phenomenon.
So it goes without saying that Covid has brought a boomtime to the Sharepoint fraternity and sorority around the world. What a strange twist of fate.
To wrap it up
It might sound like it has been a bed of roses for electricians, but truth be told, they have had to work while adhering to the COVID 19 health guidelines; we all know how some of these protective gears can be uncomfortable. It has been a financial breakthrough season for them, but they’ve had a fair share of challenges.
