Remote Work: What You Need To Know, And Where To Begin. by sommyboi(m): 2:01pm On Nov 12, 2021
There is no better time to invest in yourself than now. Technology is moving too fast, and the need to adopt new technologies and move along with the speed is so important. The world is so connected remotely that you can get a doctor operate on a patient, many nautical miles away. How much prepared are you for this?

Here's what you should know; it doesn't matter where you are in the world, if you can do the job, you'll be hired. While much of this argument is supported by the Techyverse (my word for a global community of Tech people) , I think the rest of the world has adopted this practice - Entertainment, Arts, and Education. Ladies and gentlemen, the time of remote work is upon us, and only those who are equipped with the right tools, are the ones enjoying the benefits. It is worthy of mention that the market value for your labour is about to go through the roof, if you work in Tech, Consulting, Finance, Sales, Design, Media, Law etc.

Believably, once most companies go fully remote, it means that the labour market will become global and hyper-efficient. For those of you who studied economics, you know that efficient markets are better collectively, but not necessarily better individually. In layman's terms, those who are good at what they do will make a lot of money and those who are overpriced will see their compensation go down or given to someone else altogether.

High-skilled workers who can find other jobs, have leverage and can ask for remote-friendly the same way people negotiate salary or vacation time.
Companies will realize that to retain top talent they either become more remote-friendly or pay people more to come into the office.

Now is the time to equip yourself, enlarge your network, learn as many digital skills as possible, and get ready; the world is taking a new shape, and when it does, you will not be taken by surprise.

There are a few things to begin with; writing a convincing CV should definitely be the first thing on your to-do list. Because landing an interview is a race against the clock—dozens of job seekers have already written their resumes and applied for that job position that you're most excited about. Not to discourage you, but to make you understand that writing a professional resume is the first knock that opens the door.

I have put together some useful tips that are going to be helpful in your next application, considering you follow through with the procedures outlined in the document. However, below is a summary of what a stunning Curriculum Vitae that converts to job interview invitation looks like:

Stay relevant—Every single item on your CV should prove you are the best possible candidate.

Tailor—Make one CV specifically for one specific job and company to apply at. Name the company and pick skills which relate to the open position.

Choose the right stuff—Use active voice, write a heading statement for your situation, and don't include unnecessary details.

Be consistent—Follow the same formatting, styles, colors, and conventions throughout your resume
.
Double-check—Don't send your CV off before you are certain there are no typos and errors. Ask a friend for help or do go through a CV critique.

Add a Cover letter— A Cover Letter is like a marketing campaign, it is where you sell yourself to the hiring manager. It is the first, and shortest impression you'd make, you have to put your best at convincing them on why you're the best fit.

Where do you begin?

While it might be tempting to list a couple of freelancing websites and point you to resources that would help you set up real quick, I won't be doing that.
The aim of this thread is to expose you to the world of remote working (full-time jobs), and not throw you out there in the cold world of freelancing. I shall drop two websites that are a great starting point for this purpose. Okay, maybe I'll make it three. If this thread gains more attention, I'll be talking more about the practical steps in optimising your profile on these websites, and I'll be dropping more websites.

Remote job websites:
1. Toptal.com
2. Remote.co
3. Pangian.com

I agree with you that there is no better time to invest in yourself than now. But it's better to invest in what would earn you Legit money right from the comfort of your home. once I had researched how to make money online after losing my job and had no backup plans, I ended up with lots of jargon until I got an eye-opener from a friend who was into remote jobs and helped me in my quest. I can now say today i need not leave my house to make money. answerable to know one, self boss. i would like to connect with like minds also let share ideas https:///3qzLyTb

Remote work is the new way of how things are done today. Almost every company out there, even banks and hotels, have transitioned to having remote employees who do their jobs from the comfort of their own homes. It is advantageous for many reasons which I will go into here.

Remote workers need to be resourceful with scheduling because they cannot just grab coffee with colleagues or head out early on Fridays like they used to. This forces them to self-discipline more so than if they were in an office environment where these interactions were present all the time. They also need to be diligent about setting clear boundaries between home life and work life so as not to end up working all day long (or night).

Okay. I'll really appreciate your answer to these questions;

1. Do other remote work opportunities exist, besides IT, on this platform where you get advertised roles? yes. There are marketing and other stuff there too. I'll do my best to post other roles.

2. Which of these IT skills, would you recommend a female should learn? Don't think because u are a female there are things u can't do. women have contributed so much to technological advancement as much as men. Ada Lovelace is a good example. you could go into data entry and from there extend it to data analytics or pick web development or you could go to coursera.org and do a course there. If u can't afford the fee for the course you could apply for financial aid and do your course for free. I am currently combining my remote job with a coursera.org scholarship on IT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE. it ain't easy but the stress is worth it.

3. Or rather which (in your opinion) would be the most suitable to learn within the shortest amount of time?
go to coursera.org and pick a skill u like and follow it.


u need data, steady power supply and a PC. if u decide to go into programming it will favour u there are big organisations that support women in the tech field.

good luck
