The shift to remote and hybrid work shows no sign of abating. In turn, demand for such jobs persists, and it seems a majority of people in the workforce prefer to have remote working options.
While it always pays to be well prepared for a job interview, there are some specific questions candidates should ask about remote positions and steps they should take to improve their chances. For instance, according to FlexJobs, staying up to date on the latest remote and hybrid work trends is one part of an effective job search.
Experts have weighed in on tips and tricks to help you land your dream remote job. Here are three things you should do to make sure you do so.
1. Pay Attention to Details
As FlexJobs career expert Keith Spencer explained, when seeking any type of new role, job seekers need to pay careful attention to individual job descriptions. Then, tailor your resume and cover letter for each application.
“The goal is to think about what will be most relevant and impactful for your audience, meaning the recruiter or hiring manager, then convey your skills and experience in a way that will resonate with them and their needs and priorities,” said Spencer.
2. Highlight Your Remote Experience
Spencer underscored that, for remote roles, it’s helpful to demonstrate any remote experience you have to show that you are capable of being successful in that type of environment. For instance, showing that you worked remotely during the pandemic, have taken online courses, that you work with distributed teams or meet with clients through video conferencing platforms can help demonstrate that you have the necessary skills to work effectively in a remote capacity.
“Even if you’ve never worked remotely before, you can still highlight the remote communication and collaboration tools you’ve used in order to show that you know, in a practical sense, how to perform in a remote setting,” he added.
3. Show Off Your Transferable Skills
According to Spencer, it can be extremely advantageous to demonstrate that you possess highly valuable transferable skills. “In looking at the top growing careers for fully remote jobs, skills like communication, problem-solving, organization, time management, and self-motivation are all particularly relevant and important to showcase to potential employers,” he said.
