The first consideration is health. These remote jobs you go siddon tire. Then basic due diligence. Any job that involves paying before you get the job, scam. Any job that the interview is on WhatsApp or Telegram, SCAM. Also be somewhat wary of sending your CV/Resume to any Tom, Dixk or Harry. I'm very guarded about my personal identifying information. For example I don't have a LinkedIn or Facebook presence. Does that put me at a disadvantage? Of course it does. But that's my "risk" profile. Have an email account strictly for jobs. I use outlook.com strictly for jobs. Make it a professional looking email. firstname.lastname@blablah.com Then have loads and loads of patience. I was lucky that the first two remote jobs I applied for, I got an offer letter. Turned one down. Took me 8 months to get a 2nd one in addition to the first one. Take care of your health. Get a good chair and desk. Get a source of steady power. Get good internet. I wish you luck in your hunt. 83 Likes 6 Shares |

tensazangetsu20: Two weeks is to first get orientation to the "shock" that that your "fine" CV/Resume no go even get you invite to interview. Especially with the funny way we do CV here, emphasising "Strong 2:1" age, gender and even local government of origin lol Then there's also the misconception that remote work is "easy". Na to just siddon for front of computer. You go siddon sotay you go know say sitting down is exhausting 22 Likes |

airsaylongcome:Wouldn't that depend on the terms of the job, some remote jobs are task based, you get an amount of tasks to complete in say a week, how you do it doesn't matter. 4 Likes |

chuksdsilent: Don't pay anyone shishi (including consultation fee) for recruitment. Even if they carry you go Aso Rock to show you they're legitimate, no true agent collects shishi from a job seeker. Period. Don't give out unnecessary information like sensitive banking information, even if you don't have shishi in your account. Scams come in different forms these days. Before you accept a job offer, go to the company's website and read thoroughly about what they do. Also, google the company's name for reviews. If it's a foreign company there's a chance someone may have reviewed them When you receive an email, always check the signature on the email and ensure it's coming from the real company's domain name Just to mention a few 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Time T, very important. Have you gotten one yet? Health is wealth, just like someone up there had said. Consider your health and catch some sleep when necessary. Let me help some few youths here for free with some tips. I own a comfortable job yet, I still do a couple of jobs online/remotely, which equally permits me to come here at my leisure to read news and contribute where applicable. Don't copy me please cos I'm always online Now let's go... 1- Get a LinkedIn account. I got 2 of my remote jobs via LinkedIn. LinkedIn sent me these job tips themselves so I knew they were legit. 2- Always type the link to your profile on LinkedIn on Google search and hit it like 4 times daily...it doesn’t cost you anything. This increases your chance of being reached or searched for, by potential employers. If you own a company or business, do the same too. One of the jobs I turned down said they reached me via Google search. Meanwhile my profile was only on LinkedIn. Though i turned down the offer due to the reason best known to me. 3-Some People said Facebook is also a good source of securing a remote job but I've never tried such before and i dont know how. You may just give it a try. 4-Some said they've gotten some reliable remote jobs via clickbank but I've never tried it also. You may give it a try. 5-Always have some tools handy, in case you'd need to update your resume especially when you're not in a position or location where you can scan , edit or print. Look for the following software apps and download for free. a-Foxitpdf or NitroPdf( for pdf editing, download basic, not pro so they don't charge you, being a fresh applicant who doesn't have money yet) b-Camscanner( for scanning of documents for free) c-Ms Office( for updating your resume before scanning to the potential employer) Good luck guys. 36 Likes 6 Shares |

how do you define a remote job? i and a friend are currently running a small Project Management firm. mostly we employ on a contract basis we have probably not met 50% of the team that have worked with us one on one. 90% of communications are by email and whatsapp when we were interviewing though, one of the team was paranoid. who are you, how did you get my number, etc etc so obviously you first try to find out as much as you can about the employers. and if their story matches . weigh your risk. no pain, no gain you must always have data available - no story i ran out of data you must always have power for whatever device you are using you must strive to have a professional mein when dealing with your clients. dont go joining meeting in danfo and showing your back ground. 5 Likes 1 Share |

chuksdsilent:The only way to defraud you is that they will ask you to pay for something. Do not pay. That's it. Another way they can defraud you is to not pay for the services rendered after you have been employed. Sir, there is no way to know who will pay you and who will not in most cases. What you can do is to stop working for them as soon as you realise they arent going to pay and move on. Goodluck 3 Likes |

Read reviews on Trustpilot and/or Glassdoor In Nigeria what you should really consider when you land a genuine remote job: Power: I'd advice you get yourself an inverter Data/Network: You cannot be a remote worker and be turning off data at night o you need surplus data and great Internet connection... I have a major wired connection and 3 backups Exercise: yes, you need to make working out your very good friend... with remote jobs, you get to sit in a position for quite a long time... health wise, that isn't good. So run or job 20-30 minutes daily. Friends: You need to keep/maintain your friends because it can get really really lonely � Most remote jobs pay in USD, if that's not the case, resign 14 Likes 3 Shares |
