Garfield County Graduate Lands Full-time Remote Sales Manager Position

After completing the Certified Remote Work Professional course, Suzanne began her search for the perfect remote job. She previously ran her own small business in a very rural town in southern Utah and now she wanted a remote job that gave her flexibility in her schedule. She found a job as a sales manager for a land investment company that allows her to work full-time and be fully remote. “The job role encompasses all of my strengths: customer service, negotiations, research, and being able to work on commission at hours that work for me! I love it!”

Beaver County Graduate Secures Remote Job with Lowry & Associates

Katie Pollard from Beaver County enrolled in the Certified Remote Work Professional course in October 2018. She was successful in getting a remote job as she writes: “I also got the job with Lowry and Associates. It is a work-from-home insurance auditor position and I start January 3rd (2023).

To be successful at a work-from-home position, I must utilize the skills I acquired from the Rural Online Initiative Program…such as structure, self-discipline, organization, scheduling, motivation, communication, working effectively in a team, and growing my professional reach.
