How to Find a Remote Job

Make sure you’re working in an industry or field where a remote job is possible. Do your skills audit and also make use of a labour market information (LMI).

Research companies before applying. Learn about their history of offering remote work.

Apply to startups; they tend to be more open to a remote work arrangement.

Search online for “remote” or “distributed” companies; these companies are completely remote, from the CEO to entry-level workers.

Search online job boards that focus on remote jobs only.

Show employers you’re a self-starter and that you take initiative in your work.

Show employers you have great communication skills and are able to hit goals on-time in your work.

Don’t mention personal reasons when explaining why you want a remote job; talk about how you feel you’ll be more productive and be able to focus on your work more when working remotely.

Make sure you have a great home-office setup so you can show employers that you’re ready to produce great work for them in a distraction-free environment.

Have a plan in place for AFTER you’re hired. How you learn the role, meet the team, stay connected, gain knowledge etc.

You need to take initiative if you want to convince employers that you’re ready for a full-time remote job.

Apply for relevant opportunities with good salary offers.
