For many people, remote work offers substantial advantages over those that require you to report to an in-person office. Fewer potential distractions, no commute, and greater flexibility are enticing benefits, but how can you increase your chances of finding this type of work in 2024?

Check out the following tips and tricks for helping you land a remote position this year:

Don’t lock yourself into your current industry and specialty.

Opening yourself up to a different industry and specialty can increase your chances of scoring a remote job. Some jobs are often more remote-friendly than others and can prove to be a good fit even if you lack specific experience in the field. These include jobs for language tutors, customer service representatives, sales representatives, community managers, tech support specialists, and tax preparers.

Update your CV to reflect remote work skills.

If you have experience working remotely, be sure to include this information on your resume. Even if you lack this specific background, include soft skills that will translate well into a remote job, including proven time management, organization, collaboration, and communication skills. Experience in relevant software can also help you land a remote job.

Look at international remote roles to expand your options. 

International companies are hiring more American workers than ever before, with the number growing by 62% last year. And the vast majority – 85% – are for remote positions. In particular, companies in the U.K., Canada, France, Singapore, and Australia often turn to the U.S. for remote workers.

Ensure you have the right materials and setup for working at home to increase your chances of success.

Making sure you have what you need to succeed in working remotely is important. You’ll need a dedicated quiet workspace away from the hustle and bustle of kids, pets, and other distractions. A reliable computer with a fast processor and sufficient memory to handle your tasks is also essential, as is a fast internet connection.

Although many companies have transitioned back to in-office work, it’s still very possible to find a remote position that’s a good fit for your skills and needs. These tips should give you an advantage that can increase your chances of landing the right remote position.
