How to Find Telework Jobs
Telework Jobs are changing for the better and you can build your remote working career quickly with these simple tips.
Since the pandemic, there is a major shift in the way businesses operate in the United States and the rest of the world. Until 2020, only two percent of the workers were home-based. Today (June 2020), 37% of the workers are working from home. This rate is 45% in Switzerland and only 11% in Cambodia. The percentage of tele-workable jobs has become an economic indicator for a country. Higher the percentage of tele-workable jobs in the market, more sustainable the economy is.
Remote Working Career
So if the future is remote working, what are the risks and opportunities for you? The biggest risk obviously is to be forgotten or ignored within an organisation. When you are remote, it is much harder to show your presence and personal skills, difficult to socialise with the stakeholders in the business. You are just a small square in a big video meeting.
In some cases, businesses will realise that they do not need full-time roles for certain skills and will consider sharing the remote workers with other businesses. This is called Remote Modular Workforce and this could be your career opportunity. You can support multiple businesses over the phone and get paid based on the number of minutes you handle their calls. These calls could be for some internal functions as well as some customer enquiries.
