#RemoteJobs : 30 Companies Hiring Fully Remote Jobs In 2024. Question: Tired of Driving to Work?

August 27, 2024/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

We’re now four years into the remote work revolution. And by the looks of it, this new work model is here to stay.  The work-from-home revolution is “one of the major shifts in the U.S. labor market in the last couple decades. It’s still kicking. It’ll probably be around for a long time,” Nick Bunker, Indeed’s economic research director for North America told CNBC last week.

Analysis of Indeed’s Remote Work Tracker shows that the share of job postings that advertise remote and hybrid work is leveling off at around 7.8%, roughly three times higher than its level in 2019.  So, despite threats of returning back to the office, there are still companies that recognize and value the remote work model and understand how it is beneficial, not only for their workforce, but also for overall business gains, efficiency, and productivity.

Many of these companies also carry a rating on Glassdoor of four, although this is not always the case.)

  1. Automattic
  2. Arkency
  3. Awesome Motive
  4. DuckDuck Go
  5. Float
  6. GitLab

While this does not necessarily indicate that you will need to be a technical expert to successfully land a remote job, what it does mean is that it certainly helps if you have prior experience working within a tech or tech-enabled company. Your transferable experience shows that you understand the working environment and what the typical demands are on such a business.

So whether your previous role was a function in a fintech, or you held a role in sales for enterprise software products, your experience will go a long way and can be a great talking point for your job interview as well.

Finally, don’t forget that your actions should coincide with your expectations. If you are on the lookout for remote-friendly companies, you should prepare your home office space to accommodate your new role.

Even if the company is giving you a stipend for your home office set-up, you should still think about what portion of your home you will dedicate to your work so that you can focus on your job with minimal distraction.

Start clearing out that corner of your room, that cluttered storage space that can easily be turned into an office, your bedroom—wherever it is. And as you do, breathe a sigh of gratitude in your heart, knowing that your dream remote job, and dream employer, is right around the corner.

Who knows, your next role might find you working with any of the 30 employers listed in this article.

#JobSearch : 4 Must-Have Items In Your Resume To Get A Remote Job. The More you Have These Items, the Better your chances.

August 25, 2024/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

For a lot of people, remote working is the dream. The benefits of remote work include no longer dealing with traffic and long commutes, greater flexibility in managing your schedule, and the comfort of working from home.

But even more importantly, remote work can also open avenues for professional growth as it allows you to work for companies across the globe without having to relocate. If this sounds like an excellent deal to you, you’re not alone. According to the Pew Research Center, at least 65% of workers prefer to work remotely full-time, and 98% would like to have the option to work remotely at least part of the time.

With many CEOs calling their employees to return to the office, you may need to exert more effort to get a remote role, at least compared to the pandemic years. That being said, the demand for remote roles is still high in many industries, and with the right tweaks, your resume should help you get the remote role you want.

 

Here are four must-have items in your resume if you want to get a remote job today.

Previous Remote Work Experience

As with any job, you want to show previous related work experience to prove that you are qualified for it. With remote jobs, you want your future employer to see how well you fare with working unsupervised and what results you achieved in such setups.

But even if this is your first time pursuing a fully remote role, you can still highlight past experiences where you successfully collaborated with co-workers or stakeholders in different states or even overseas to accomplish set goals.

It’s particularly helpful to think about projects where you coordinated across time zones, managed communication remotely, or relied on digital tools such as Zoom or Slack to get the job done.

To make your resume even more attractive to employers, try your best to quantify your results and show how your work improved the company’s processes or contributed to the bottom line.

For example, you might mention how you implemented a new project management tool that streamlined workflow and resulted in a 25% increase in task completion rates, helping the team consistently meet deadlines. You could also cite a time when you managed a remote team across different time zones, which allowed your team to operate more efficiently and cut overhead costs by 15%.

The more you can show your ability to deliver good results in a remote setting, the more attractive you’ll be to potential employers. The key is to highlight your successes and show that distance will not hinder you from creating stellar results.

Collaboration Skills

At the heart of any successful remote working experience is effective collaboration with your peers and managers. Employers value collaboration skills because you don’t see each other face to face; it’s easy to work in silos and lose touch with the team’s overall goals.

Including collaboration as part of your skills is crucial, but to truly stand out, you’ll want to demonstrate that you were instrumental in getting the team to work collaboratively, even when you’re all miles apart.

Don’t forget to mention your experience in using specific project management tools like Asana, Trello, or Monday.com — this is important because it demonstrates your proficiency with the tools that help you assign tasks, track progress, and ensure timely deliveries, especially as a remote worker.

Excellent In Presentations

Presentations are a crucial skill for anybody to master, but it’s even more important for people working remotely. Because you’re not in the office, your best opportunity to make a good first impression is during meetings, and having excellent presentation skills will help you clearly communicate your ideas, engage your audience, and establish a professional presence.

You’ll want to cover the basics first. Ensure your slides are clear, concise, and visually engaging. Focus on structuring your content logically and practicing your delivery to maintain a confident and professional demeanor.

Once you have your content down, you’ll also want to be adept at using the tools. Remote presentations come with unique challenges, so also familiarize yourself with tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet. Learn how to use their features effectively, and find out how you can maximize them to achieve your goals.

Mastering the tools helps you maintain command of the room and avoid technical glitches as much as possible. You already spent a ton of time polishing your slides and delivery, so the last thing you want is to fumble around trying to share a screen or get a video playing!

Data & Numbers

From tracking customer behavior to optimizing supply chains, data allows companies to predict trends, personalize experiences, and stay ahead of the competition. But while we’re all practically up to our ears in data, it takes people with actual data analytics skills to find patterns and create actionable insights that companies can use to inform their operations.

If this is you, then you’re in luck. With Quanthub estimating the demand to have grown 650% since 2012, your skills are highly sought after, and companies will want to hire you, even if you’re on the other side of the globe.

But first, you’ll want to ensure that your data analytics skills and experience are highlighted in your resume. For example, if you’ve led projects where data-driven decisions led to increased efficiency or growth, you want to detail that impact in terms of numbers.

Mention specific tools that you’ve mastered and how you used them to uncover trends or optimize processes. Did you create a predictive model that saved your company thousands or even millions? Again, don’t just mention it—quantify it in terms of how it has benefited your company and its bottom line.

The more you can do this, the better your chances of getting hired for remote roles. It might be a bit more challenging, but the effort will pay off. So polish up your resume, highlight those key achievements, and get ready to seize the opportunities that come your way. Rooting for you!

#BestofFSCBlog : Over 12K Reads – 8 Remote Jobs That Pay $30+ An Hour In 2024. Interesting Read- Welcome your Thoughts??

July 17, 2024/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

Looking for a work from home job but worried you won’t be paid enough? If you thought working remotely equated to less pay, you couldn’t be further from the truth.

In fact, research and analysis of popular remote jobs and industries such as technology, show that these roles and sectors are quite lucrative, which means you’re able to make more money in two ways: you’re able to save the money you would have spent on commuting to the office each week, and you also make more money according to research that suggests that as a remote worker you are able to earn as much as $8,500 more than your in-office counterparts, on average.

Here are some of the best paid remote jobs (including remote freelance jobs) that pay no less than $30 an hour in 2024:

1. IT Support Specialist

At some point or another, you’ve most likely had to call on the services of the IT support specialist at work, whenever your system came crashing down, your software needed an update, you were experiencing connection issues, or you were locked out and forgot your password. IT support specialists are the much needed backbone of work operations; they troubleshoot and resolve queries, ensure that all technology in an organization works efficiently, allowing everyone to do their jobs with minimal technical hiccups. This role is so essential to the success of other functions within a company that it is frequently made the butt of office humor and corporate jokes on social media, where TikTokers and Instagrammers post humorous but relatable clips of having to call on the IT specialist only to be reminded to restart the laptop.

However, in all seriousness, if you are looking to progress your career within the technology industry, this role, boasting an eyewatering hourly pay of $64, is a great place to start and get your foot in the door.

Average hourly pay: $64

2. Freelance Digital Marketing Manager

As increasing numbers of consumers shop and carry out everyday duties online, digital marketing has surged in demand. Freelance digital marketing managers play a crucial role in creating and implementing marketing strategies using social media, email campaigns, search engine optimization (SEO), and other forms of online ads to reach and engage customers. They also analyze data and make data-backed decisions to attract customers to their client’s business.

Average hourly pay: $59

3. Human resources (HR) consultant—$65

HR consultants can work from home for a consulting firm, or they may decide to work remotely as a freelance HR consultant. In this remote job, you would be making all the difference to ensure that employees at their place of work enjoy their work environment and employee benefits. You would also provide expert advice on labor laws, performance management, and hiring best practices.

Other remote jobs that pay more than $30 an hour include:

  1. PR specialist—$36.26 an hour
  2. Technical writer—$37. 09 an hour
  3. Video editor—$39.24 an hour
  4. Translator—$30.73
  5. Copywriter—$34.89

The hourly pay rates provided are merely an average, and therefore should serve as a benchmark, to help you better evaluate the best job offer that would work for you and your career goals. These roles show you what exactly is possible and attainable when working remotely.

Indeed, when considering the financial prospects, there has never been a better time to work from home.

#JobSearch : How To Get A Remote Job In A Tough Labor Market, According To A Tech-Unicorn Founder. “At Remote, we Don’t Consider Education in Hiring Decisions”

July 11, 2024/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

With employers pushing for workers to return to the office, it has become increasingly challenging and competitive to land a remote job. In the aftermath of the pandemic, remote job opportunities are diminishing across nearly all states in the United States, according to a recent Forbes report, citing ZipRecruiter data. This trend reflects a broader shift among companies, as they transition from work-from-home arrangements back to traditional in-office work environments.

Although remote job listings are disappearing, employees still overwhelmingly want to work for distributed teams. Remote, a global payroll, tax, human resources and compliance solution, receives over 15,000 applications per month for its fully remote and location-independent positions.

Marcelo Lebre, cofounder and president of the HR platform, desires to tear down barriers and democratize employment by leveraging the power of a dispersed workforce.

In a Q&A with me, Lebre pulled back the curtain for anyone seeking a remote position in an historically tough job market, including at his company. He talked about the intentionality in your search, cultural awareness when seeking an international remote position, what job seekers should be mindful of and more.

Q&A With Remote’s Marcelo Lebre

Jack Kelly: What do you look for in a résumé and cover letter?

Marcelo Lebre: We prioritize clarity and relevance. Highlight your key achievements and skills in a concise manner. Keep your résumé to one or two pages. A cover letter can help personalize your application, but focus on quality over quantity. Interviews are where you really shine.

Kelly: Do you hire based on one’s educational background or do you more so look for skills and growth potential?

Lebre: Skills and growth potential are our main focus. Education can be a foundation, but practical skills and a demonstrated ability to learn and adapt are what set candidates apart.

At Remote, we don’t consider education in hiring decisions unless it’s legally required for the role, such as a law degree for practicing attorneys. Additionally, we recently removed ‘years of experience‘ as a requirement for our job listings. This shift focuses on what candidates can do rather than how long they’ve been doing it, ensuring we attract highly capable individuals who might otherwise be overlooked. This strategy helps us build a dynamic team with diverse experiences and perspectives, which is crucial for our fast-moving startup culture.

Kelly: Why is it important for job seekers to be intentional when applying to jobs?

Lebre: Intentionality demonstrates that you’re genuinely interested and have done your research. It’s better to apply to fewer positions with tailored applications than to blast out 100 generic ones. Being intentional also means you’ll likely be matched with a company that shares your values and respects your specific needs.

For example, let’s say you’re one of the millions of job seekers with young kids. You most likely wouldn’t want to work for a company that doesn’t have supportive policies in place for employees juggling work and raising a family. But what exactly does that look like?

We recently surveyed 2,001 working parents raising young children in the United States to understand how different work models impact finances, career decisions and overall work-life balance. We found that 22% of hybrid workers want to work from home more frequently to better manage childcare, but find their schedules too rigid—nearly on par with the 23% of fully in-office workers who face similar constraints.

So, if you’re a working parent in the U.S., this might mean applying specifically to companies that offer flexible work schedules or remote work options. Additionally, we found that nearly one in five working parents have considered sending their young children to school earlier to manage the high costs of childcare, and one in four parents have delayed or are reconsidering having more children due to their job demands.

Therefore, you might want to apply exclusively to companies that offer benefits designed for working parents, such as childcare support, affordable insurance and generous paid parental leave. Being intentional in your job search can lead to finding an employer that truly aligns with your personal and professional needs.

Kelly: For an American who is interested in getting a remote job in other countries, which places are the most welcoming to them?

Lebre: Overall, we’re seeing more and more companies from almost every country we operate in increasingly embrace remote work. But looking at specifics, Remote recently conducted an in-depth analysis of every country and U.S. state to uncover the best 100 destinations for remote work, based on factors spanning quality of life, safety, internet infrastructure, economics, travel and more. The top 10 include Madrid, Spain; Madeira, Portugal; Toronto, Canada; Auckland, New Zealand; Tokyo, Japan; Paris, France; Portland, Maine; Taipei, Taiwan; Stockholm, Sweden and Reykjavík, Iceland.

These top cities have several commonalities that make them ideal for remote work. Many, like Taipei, Madeira and Tokyo, offer digital nomad visas, making it easier for remote workers to stay for extended periods. Cities like Toronto and Auckland are known for their high quality of life, safety and diversity, making them welcoming for international workers. Places like Madrid and Paris offer a mix of rich cultural experiences and modern amenities, ensuring there’s always something to do when you’re not working. Others, such as Reykjavik and Stockholm, stand out for their stunning natural landscapes and commitment to sustainability. These locations not only provide the necessary infrastructure for remote work, but also offer vibrant communities, excellent healthcare and a variety of recreational activities to enjoy.

Kelly: Is it important for job seekers to learn about a country’s culture and norms, as it relates to compensation and other matters, when applying to international jobs?

Lebre: Absolutely. Cultural awareness shows that you’re proactive and adaptable. It’s essential for roles in diverse, international teams. On the flip side, when assessing global opportunities, it’s equally as important to consider companies that make an effort to understand your country’s norms and culture, so keep that in mind when deciding who you want to work for.

Respecting different norms and understanding how things operate in various regions is vital when working for a global company, and showcasing your interest and effort in this area indicates you’re probably a good fit for a distributed team.

Kelly: When negotiating or discussing salaries with an employer based out of the United States, what should a job applicant be aware of?

Lebre: Understand the cost of living differences and the company’s compensation philosophy. Be clear about your expectations and be ready to discuss how your skills and experience justify your salary requirements.

#JobSearch : 25 Companies Hiring Now For Fully Remote Jobs In 2024. You are Sure to Find Something Suitable for Your Career Goals & LifeStyle. A GReat REad!

June 23, 2024/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

Within the United States, the professional, scientific, and computer-related occupations have the highest shares of job postings for hybrid roles, and most importantly, fully remote work, according to recent findings from a National Bureau of Economic Research study.

Across these sectors can be found companies who have taken innovative approaches to hiring and proactive employee retention, ensuring employee wellbeing is consistently upheld, including fully remote, hybrid options, unlimited PTO, and even offering access to meditation, yoga, and wellness classes.

When searching for employers who are hiring for fully remote jobs, remember to consider the bigger picture. Is remote an afterthought, something that they’ve shoved into their policy as a way to attract talent, but hasn’t been fully thought through? Or is remote working part of a more extensive employee support and development package, in which your wellbeing and professional growth is holistically championed?

Some of these employers have been highlighted by FlexJobs as being most active in posting the highest number of remote jobs, hiring fully remote and flexible roles since the start of the year.

The industries represented by these employers span the most popular industries for remote work, mirroring the sectors listed in the NBER study, such as healthcare, consulting, technology, finance, and social media.

They also are highly diverse and span a wide range of career paths and interests, so you are sure to find something suitable for your career goals.  Here are 25 from their full list, and some noteworthy highlights for a few of these employers:

1. Robert Half International

Robert Half, a recruitment agency and HR consulting firm, is listed as being the one of the “Best Workplaces for Parents” in 2023, was included in Fortune’s “Most Admired Companies” in 2024, and provides strong career development support and an almost four-star rating on Glassdoor.

2. Veeva

Veeva is an international cloud-computing company specifically focused on the life sciences industry. They also have a work-from-anywhere policy, while investing in their global offices for occasional meetings.

3. AECOM

AECOM is an infrastructure consulting firm, covering several projects on a multinational level, including large-scale construction management, urban planning, and engineering. The employer was also listed as one of the Most Admired Companies.

4. CVS Health

A household name for many, CVS Health is the second-largest healthcare company, being beaten only by UnitedHealth Group. It provides health solutions including CVS Pharmacy, Aetna Health, and CVS Speciality, with associated apps. CVS Health expresses commitment to diversity including employees with disabilities, and is transparent about its hiring process on its website.

5. HubSpot

HubSpot, a leading provider in digital marketing, sales and customer service tools, training, and support, is based internationally and takes a very flexible, innovative approach to employee location, providing three options for candidates when they join the company. This makes it very attractive for those who desire fully remote work, as well as those who wish to come into the office from time to time.

All roles are eligible to be fully remote, however you have the option of also selecting their flex plan (coming into the local office more than twice a quarter), or their office-based plan if you would prefer in-person work and the office is local to you.

Some of the other employers listed who are hiring and support fully remote and flexible working for their roles, include:

  1. Creative Financial Staffing (CFS)
  2. LHH – Lee Hecht Harrison
  3. UnitedHealth Group
  4. Prime Therapeutics
  5. Guidehouse
  6. TELUS
  7. Thermo Fisher Scientific
  8. Kelly
  9. Samsara
  10. Motion Recruitment
  11. Randstad
  12. Zscaler
  13. Insight Global
  14. Vaco
  15. Cloudflare
  16. Rubrik
  17. Kforce
  18. Canonical
  19. Circle Internet Financial
  20. Token Metrics

Many of these employers not only offer remote jobs, but they are proactive about providing you with the opportunity to thrive while working from home, so you do not feel isolated, and to ensure that your role is fully supported so you can deliver your best work. For example, some employers such as HubSpot provide a stipend for working from home, in addition to a Slack hub and extra training resources to enable you to thrive in your job.

When searching for employers who are hiring for fully remote jobs, remember to consider the bigger picture. Is remote an afterthought, something that they’ve shoved into their policy as a way to attract talent, but hasn’t been fully thought through? Or is remote working part of a more extensive employee support and development package, in which your wellbeing and professional growth is holistically championed?

#JobSearch : Top 10 In-Demand Fully Remote Jobs In 2024, From Research. Question: What Does “Remote” Look Like to You?

June 8, 2024/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

For some people, remote means the opportunity to work from home or in the nearby café as they please, while for others, it entails what is known as the “work-from-anywhere” policy.

Almost 50% of workers admitted they’d take a pay cut for the freedom to work from any location, according to a recent FlexJobs survey, while 75% of respondents said they would use a work-from-anywhere policy if this was granted by their employer.

Non-freelancing professionals who are digital nomads, are able to work from any location in the world (sometimes with the sole restriction of needing to work within reasonable time-zones for collaboration) and are employed by companies that take a fully remote, work-from-anywhere approach.

Top 10 Companies Hiring Fully Remote Jobs, From FlexJobs

Such companies can be hard to find. Thankfully, FlexJobs recently analyzed and compiled a list of companies from their database of employers that adhere to providing the following benefits for the majority of their recent remote job listings:

  • Follow a “work from anywhere” arrangement with zero location restrictions
  • The job is fully remote in every sense of the word and doesn’t require any time in the office
  • The role is full-time or part-time

The top 10 employers pulled from their 2024 analysis are:

  1. Canonical
  2. Veeva
  3. Invisible Technologies
  4. Remote Technology
  5. Quadcode Group
  6. Chainlink Labs
  7. Yodo1
  8. Social Discovery Group
  9. WOO Network
  10. Percona

Top 10 In-Demand Work-From-Anywhere Jobs

But what about roles? According to the same report, the main careers that came out as being most likely to be adapted to working from anywhere as a digital nomad, due to the number of work-from-anywhere job postings that involved them, include IT, marketing, project management, and sales and accounting.

If you’re looking to get hired sooner this year, it might be worth checking these in-demand remote job titles which have witnessed a surge in flexible job postings for work-from-anywhere candidates:

1. Account Executive

An account executive manages client accounts and builds relationships with them; their goal is primarily to meet sales targets and achieve customer satisfaction.

2. Content Writer

Content writers create written content for various platforms such as websites, blogs, and email marketing, which engages and informs audiences, with the goal of making sales and increasing brand awareness.

3. Data Analyst

As a data analyst, you would be collecting, processing, and performing analysis on large datasets. This helps organizations make well-informed business decisions backed by solid evidence.

4. DevOps Engineer

A DevOps engineer’s role bridges the gap between software development and IT operations through automating workflows, managing deployments, and ensuring system reliability.

5. Editor

Remote editors work for magazines and journals, and other news publications, and they review and sometimes revise content to ensure accuracy and that the correct writing style is adhered to. This ensures written content meets publication guidelines.

6. Engineering Manager

As an engineering manager, you would be leading and managing engineering teams as project develop, ensuring achievement of technical and operational goals are met.

7. Marketing Manager

Marketing managers apply their expertise to develop and implement effective marketing strategies to promote products and services, or increase brand awareness, with the goal to realize return on marketing investment by driving sales.

8. Product Designer

A remote product designer’s role is focused on the entire design of a product, which is more holistic than a UX designer’s role. This will often involve prototyping and user testing.

9. Product Manager

Product managers, on the other hand, oversee the development and lifecycle of a product, aligning it with market needs and business goals through strategic planning and execution.

10. Software Engineer

Software engineers are critical to the success of new products, as they are the brains behind the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software applications and systems.

Fortunately, you don’t need to take much of a pay cut to work anywhere in these jobs.

If you’re looking for the highest chances of working from anywhere in the world, then it would certainly be worth checking these job titles out and ensuring you meet the criteria for living in your host country on a digital nomad basis, so you can experience what “remote” work looks like for you.

#JobSearch : An Unexpected Perk Of Remote Work- It’s Easier To Job Hunt. Great REad!

June 2, 2022/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

Before Suzanne Garner worked remotely, part of her job hunt and interview prep included practicing driving to and from her potential new office, previewing the route and the stoplights that could delay her. But since she started working from home seven years ago, she says “all that stress goes away” now when it comes to job searching: To interview for a new job, she doesn’t have to make excuses for being out of the office, schedule calls for early morning when her boss won’t overhear or hop on a plane to meet potential employers—let alone do homework on traffic routes.

“Before working remotely became more commonplace, I didn’t even search for companies outside of driving distance,” says Garner, who lives in San Diego and has worked as a marketing director for Boston-based, health information platform Outcomes4Me since late March. “Working remotely certainly provides more flexibility in terms of time and where you can meet when it comes to interviewing.”

With the pandemic-induced pivot to more virtual work, more and more job seekers are experiencing not only the freedom to interview for remote-based jobs—but the ease of doing so outside the view of their manager’s watchful eye. Gone are the days of having to throw on a suit jacket at least a block away from the office to secretly dress up for an interview. For many, the muffled, heads-down calls to coordinate interview logistics are a thing of the past. No longer are sick days needed to head across town—or across the country—for an interview.

Much has been made of how the Great Resignation is being driven, in part, by the access workers have to a national pool of remote jobs. But there’s a less trumpeted factor at play: Many obstacles to interviewing are eroded for job seekers who are in the privacy of their home office, working flexible hours and able to step away at a moment’s notice.

What Skill Sets Do You have to be ‘Sharpened’ ?

According to the latest update from WFH Research, a project started in May 2020 by an economist and professors at Stanford University and ITAM in Mexico to track working arrangements and attitudes, nearly half of the 2,000 U.S. workers surveyed say working from home has made it easier to interview for prospective jobs.

In writing about the findings, which the researchers say they plan to continue exploring in the coming months, they write that “working from home can make it easier to take 30 minutes to an hour to do a virtual interview, or browse job ads and fill applications on a personal device without worrying about coworkers and managers snooping over your shoulder.”

One of the researchers, Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom, says when your boss knows you’re interviewing for another job, it can be bad news. “If you are actively looking for another job and you interview with three or four different companies, that’s extremely hard if you’re working in the office everyday because you have to come up with several excuses,” Bloom says. “Maybe you fabricate an entire ailment—I don’t know. But it’s hard.”

Interviewing while working remotely allows employees to schedule even more interviews than ever before, says Carly Mednick, a2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and founding partner at recruitment agency Monday Talent. “If you take into account an hour-long interview, commute to the office and back, we can be talking two hours or more of time to carve out.”

With location no longer a requirement, the job pool has not only widened; the search process has less friction. When it came time for Maia Thornton to interview for her new job as a senior knowledge specialist at Bain & Company, she didn’t have to worry about booking flights and taking time off to travel and could instead focus on nailing the interview.

“It was really seamless for me to still do my job and then also look out for my own career development,” says Thornton, who is currently based in Columbus. “I leaned on LinkedIn, and I didn’t have to worry about traveling and taking days off work.”

Working from home makes scheduling those interviews easier. For B.J. Schone, who joined feature management platform LaunchDarkly as director of learning and development in April, the biggest perk of the remote job search was the time saved.

“Maybe that’s why it’s easier for some folks to be switching so much during the Great Resignation,” San Diego-based Schone says. “You can just hop on a Zoom call from your own room and conduct all the interviews there.”

He says jumping offline for a 30-minute interview or quick chat with a recruiter was easier to schedule at home. So was filling out job applications.

“For many employees, it was like they’re going to preschool, and being watched, making sure they are at their desk or in the cubicles,” says Antonio Neves, a career coach for mid-career professionals.

The role has switched, Neves says. Job seekers are now interviewing employers just as much as employers are interviewing them. Employees, especially mid-career professionals, he says, have more leverage now and are more often deciding “to dip their feet in the water to see what’s out there.”

Going forward, the ease of interviewing, Bloom predicts, will lead to permanently higher employee turnover and impulse job changes—the same way online shopping has increased impulse spending. “We will see the same with people changing jobs because it’s so easy now when you’re working remotely to do it very quickly,” he says. “You can have jobs where you apply in the morning, schedule an interview for later that day and, if you’re a great candidate, have a job offer at the end of the day.”

#CareerAdvice : #JobOpenings -Highest Paying Work From Home Jobs.

May 22, 2019/in First Sun Blog/by First Sun Team

A growing number of professions are becoming increasingly flexible to remote workers. Medicine, for example, a field that traditionally required long visits to the doctor’s office and in-person checkups, is being revolutionized by the advent of telemedicine, which allows doctors and patients to communicate remotely. The global market for telemedicine is projected to climb 19 percent from 2018 to 2025, making for massive job openings for healthcare professionals to work remotely.

While it’s great news that remote work opportunities are growing across a variety of sectors, the even better news is that remote positions don’t require you to take a pay cut. In fact, work from home positions can help you save money by reducing transportation costs, or cutting the cost of having to live close to your workplace. Some positions even pay more for remote workers — one study on web developers, for example, found that developers who work remotely earn an average of 40 percent more than their counterparts who work in offices.

What kind of work from home job is right for you?

Work from home positions are available across a variety of industries, from tech to finance. While positions like software engineering have traditionally been more remote-friendly, companies are realizing that positions from client services to project management can also be opened up to remote workers. Use the Glassdoor job search tool with the location filter “Remote (Work From Home)” to see if the type of positions you’re interested in are currently available for remote work.

Project Manager

Glassdoor Salary Range: $51,000 – $111,000

Project managers coordinate the team of people working on specific projects within a company or organization. This involves ensuring the timely completion of projects, helping solve roadblocks specific team members are facing, correctly budgeting for a project, documenting the steps of a project and overseeing the timeline of a project.

Physician

Glassdoor Salary Range: $119,000 – $303,000

With the advent of telemedicine, the options for physicians to work from home are now wider than ever. Becoming a physician is one of the most education-intensive career paths, requiring a bachelor’s degree, at least four years of medical school and between three and seven years of residency training.

Client Services Director

Glassdoor Salary Range: $76,000 – $160,000

The role of a client services director is very similar to an account manager, although sometimes less sales-focused. Client services directors are employed across businesses and organizations to maintain long-term relationships with clients and find solutions to client issues if they arise.

Business Development Manager

Glassdoor Salary Range: $49,000 – $118,000

A business development manager finds new opportunities for a company to sell its products or services. This includes identifying and fostering strategic partners, tracking new markets and emerging trends, creating sales opportunities with existing and new clients, and developing new business strategies for a company to increase sales.

Accountant

Glassdoor Salary Range: $40,000 – $77,000

Accountants collect, analyze, organize and make use of the financial records of their clients. They help file taxes, create budgets, analyze past and future financial performance of an organization, and keep accounting records. Becoming an accountant typically requires a bachelor’s degree, and sometimes a master’s degree, in accounting, as well as gaining licensure as a certified public accountant (CPA). Accountants work with the paper and digital records of their clients, so it is easy for them to work for the computer and conduct phone meetings with clients when needed.

Account Manager

Glassdoor Salary Range: $39,000 – $90,000

Account managers handle the relationships and sales with clients of a particular company. Wherever a company is making a sale or providing a service to a client, you’ll often find that account managers have a role there. Account managers are employed across many industries, from aerospace to beauty. The responsibilities of an account manager may vary across the industry they are employed in, but typically their responsibilities include managing and solving client issues, reaching company sales targets with clients and maintaining a smooth relationship between the client and the company.

UX Designer

Glassdoor Salary Range: $62,000 – $130,000

A UX designer, short for “user experience designer,” guides the design process of both digital and physical products in a way that ensures an ideal experience and interface for users. This includes designing and testing user friendliness, branding of products and ensuring an enjoyable and useful experience for users of a product.

Full Stack Web Developer

Glassdoor Salary Range: $50,000 – $117,000

A full stack web developer is a jack of all trades in the area of web development — they can develop the front end and back end portions of a mobile application, website or native application. Full stack developers must be proficient in multiple computer languages, as well as being able to work with databases, servers and systems engineering.

Graphic Designer  

Glassdoor Salary Range: $34,000 – $69,000

Graphic designers imagine and create digital images and art for all types of clients, ranging from a business that needs updated graphics on their website to a band that wants posters for their upcoming tour. Since many clients require designs on a temporary basis, a high proportion of graphic designers work freelance and work from home.

Work From Home Career Paths

Work from home positions can be found across many industries at many different skill and education levels. If you are currently in a job that is not remote, but has the potential to be, consider speaking to your boss about working from home once or twice a week to try out the arrangement. If you are looking for a new job, consider tailoring your search to work-from-home options. You can easily filter for remote-only results using Glassdoor’s job search tool, and setting the location filter to “Remote (Work From Home)”.
