What to Do to Land a Remote Job
If you’re dreaming of a remote gig, it’s time to get strategic. First, make a list of companies known for being remote-friendly, then actually research them—find out what makes them tick. Tailor your applications to show you get their mission and culture. Employers want to know you’re not just skilled, but that you thrive in remote settings. Highlight your self-starter attitude, how you handle time management, and your ability to collaborate virtually. Be selective and personal, and focus on quality applications, not mass applying.
Do You Know What to Add to Your Resume?
Want that resume to shine in the remote world? Here’s what you need: Add those remote buzzwords—skills like “digital communication,” “remote collaboration,” and “time management.” Show off any experience with tools like Slack, Trello, or Zoom—companies need to know you’ve got the tech side down. Better yet, give examples: like, “Led a project across three time zones using Asana.” Oh, and don’t forget to mention remote work experience, if you have it, even if it was a freelance gig. Employers love proof that you can handle the remote life!
