SEEKING REMOTE EMPLOYMENT
The steps to finding remote employment, though few, are by no means simple. The good news is that if you’re really determined, that very determination will get you where you want to go.
To start off: if you have the luxury of addressing the biggest-picture concerns, take the time to FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO so you can build a career around what you really want. But even if you don’t have that luxury, at the very minimum figure out exactly why you want to work remotely. That realization will inform both your job search and the application process. Employers need to know that you know, first, who you are; second, how well you’ll perform; and, third, that you know what you’re getting into.
LEARN WHAT EMPLOYERS SEEK IN A REMOTE EMPLOYEE—AND DEVELOP YOURSELF INTO THAT EMPLOYEE. Fortunately, this tall order comes with a full instruction guide: both the Hiring Strategy ( p. 137 ) and Interviewing ( p. 144) sections of Chapter 6: Hiring Remote Workers and Teams. There you’ll find that the number-one trait sought is experience working remotely, for two reasons: employers need people who, one, can work remotely effectively and, two, actually like working remotely. The trick is getting that experience; for more, see the following sidebar.
