WORK LIFE ERA OF COVID

With the pandemic still on people’s minds and safety being of the utmost importance to workers all around the world, the demand for remote work has undergone an overwhelming surge. While finding (and securing) a remote job can be a little stressful, with enough research and help, you’ll be on the right track in no time. On that account, as we approach the two-year anniversary of the pandemic, Tallahassee Women’s Magazine thought it best to not only give some tips as to finding a remote job but more importantly, a remote position that fits your needs.

The first thing to understand is that not every kind of remote work is the same! Because of this, it is critical to ask yourself questions about scheduling, benefits, salary, availability, culture, and stability, that way you can narrow down your options and choose a position that highlights your desires. Moreover, you also want to make certain that you are on the proper application sites/accounts, as this will be the main way to network yourself. Some places to get started are LinkedIn, Indeed, We Work Remotely, FlexJobs, etc. The only catch with this, however, is that it is essential to have a profile/application that not only makes you stand out but at the same time, draws people in. Therefore, we would recommend taking some time to figure out what special qualities, talents, and accomplishments you have that will make you the perfect candidate. At the end of the day, remember that this remote job search is about YOU and finding what you deem necessary when looking for a remote job, so if your number one choice decides to not hire you, it’s their loss! Never put your energy into negativity, so remember your worth, embrace the hustle, and keep applying!
