How to get a work from home job
Working remotely from home is now the norm.
There are many reasons for getting a job that allows you to work remotely. However, finding that perfect work from home job isn’t that easy; it takes a certain type of person with the right amount of motivation in order to be successful working from home.
Research, research, research
Conducting research about employers committed to remote working is the most crucial part. The research should focus on the company’s mission, values, goals and atmosphere. It should also give you the confidence to engage with a progressive and forward looking organisation.
Demonstrate open communication skills
Keeping in touch with target employers when you have a remote job is how they know you are succeeding. When you work from home, you communicate through email, video messaging, chats and phone.
Be ready to explain your reasons and passion for remote working
To obtain a work from home job, you need to show your future employer that you are passionate and mentally fit to work remotely (some people are not). Ask questions about upcoming projects and really try to understand the company’s vision and values.
Technology underpin working from home
Clearly demonstrate your advanced technology expertise and ability to manage technology by yourself. You should show technical skills on your resume and make sure to talk about experiences you have had with relevant industry software applications in your interview.
Home office environment
Set-up your home office properly and be READY TO WORK. Take photos of your office layout and equipment that you can introduce at interview to prove your commitment to working from home.
