Finding Remote Jobs
- Focus on knowledge. Some types of work are more flexible than others. If you’re a firefighter or an airline pilot, you can’t really stay home. On the other hand, knowledge workers like accountants and writers can easily find such positions.
- Select keywords. In addition to remote and hybrid work, use common synonyms like telecommuting and virtual jobs. You might also search for listings that mention balance and flexibility.
- Use your network. Some strategies apply to any job search. Reach out to your contacts for information and recommendations.
- Talk with recruiters. Let recruiters know that you’re interested in new opportunities, especially if they mean working from home. You may choose to work with a recruiter to diversify your job search. Combining a variety of methods will often shorten your job search.
- Share your experience. Let potential employers know why you’re a great remote candidate. Describe what you’ve accomplished working from home and how you communicate effectively. Effective communication in the workplace is crucial to success, regardless of location. Highlight your technology skills too.
- Prepare for video interviews. Make sure you already know how to ace an online video interview. Test your internet connection and devices. Rehearse what you want to say. Practice making eye contact and keeping the conversation flowing. Digital interviewing is an important skill.
- Check restrictions. Some remote positions will allow you to travel the world, but others have limits. For example, you might need to live in a certain area for tax reasons.
- Stay safe. Many reputable companies allow you to work from home, but you still need to watch out for scams. Beware of anyone promising unlimited earnings. Walk away if they ask you to pay money upfront or demand sensitive information like social security numbers.
Negotiating to Make Your New Position Remote
- Set priorities. It's more challenging when an employer isn’t offering remote work. You'll have to decide if they seem open to the idea, or if you’re willing to compromise.
- Prove your worth. If you are plan to pitch your boss to telecommute, strengthen your position by demonstrating the unique contributions that you can make. Focus on the reasons why working from home would benefit your employer, like saving on office space.
- Take it gradually. A new boss may prefer a slower approach. Maybe they’ll agree to hybrid work that will require you to come into the office only 2 or 3 days a week. Maybe you can arrange a trial period for a few weeks or months.
- Try other changes. If remote work is out of the question at least temporarily, see if you can use other methods to get some of the same results. A four-day work week would cut down on your commute. A weekly casual dress day may help with your wardrobe expenses.
When asked if they enjoyed working from home, 82% of workers agreed or strongly agreed, according to another survey by Forbes. Many studies show that productivity remains high too. Finding a remote job could turn out well for you and your next employer.
