This presentation on

Moonlighting is an effort by ONCONTRACT.comIndia’s largest online contract staffing marketplace.

What is Moonlighting?

• Moonlighting is an additional job that is secondary to your primary job.

• It does not have to be related to your primary job.

• For instance, Rohan works as a cashier at a bank and moonlights as a graphic designer in the evenings to pay for his dream vacation in Spain.
