Part 2: How to Get Started as a Remote Worker

1. Identify and Strengthen the Right Skills

To succeed in remote roles, you need more than technical know-how. Employers value:

  • Communication skills (written and verbal)
  • Time management
  • Self-discipline
  • Tech proficiency (tools like Zoom, Slack, Trello, Google Workspace)

If you’re lacking in any area, take an online course (e.g., Coursera, Udemy, LinkedIn Learning) to fill in the gaps.


2. Build a Remote-Ready Resume and Portfolio

Your resume should clearly show:

  • Your ability to work independently
  • Remote experience (if any)
  • Familiarity with remote tools
  • Clear, results-oriented accomplishments

Portfolio tip: If you’re in a creative or tech field, create a simple website to showcase your work and include testimonials or case studies.


3. Set Up a Professional Online Presence

Make sure your:

  • LinkedIn profile is up-to-date and aligned with your resume.
  • Social media reflects your interests or expertise (especially Twitter or Instagram if you're in marketing, writing, or design).
  • Personal website (optional) reinforces your brand and skills.

4. Know Where to Find Remote Jobs

Start with remote-focused job platforms:

  • FlexJobs
  • We Work Remotely
  • Remote OK
  • Remotive
  • Upwork (for freelancers)
  • LinkedIn (filter jobs by "Remote")

Pro tip: Follow remote-first companies and turn on job alerts.


5. Craft a Strong Application

  • Write a custom cover letter showing how your skills match the remote role.
  • Be specific about your achievements and use metrics when possible.
  • Mention your remote-readiness and comfort with digital communication.

6. Prepare Your Remote Workspace

Before you land a job, set up a dedicated, distraction-free workspace:

  • Reliable internet
  • Noise-canceling headphones
  • Desk and ergonomic chair
  • Backup plan for power or internet outages

This shows employers you’re serious and ready to work.
