In Demand Remote Jobs: 222+ Popular Work from Home Options

There are a lot of work from home jobs. But they’re not all in demand remote jobs. Some are rare or just random.

Some surprising remote jobs I’ve seen include matchmaker, virtual dog trainer, information ninja, and even sailing instructor (how?). While interesting, these jobs just aren’t in demand enough to offer two important things: 

1. Job security 
2. Career opportunities & Growth

And, as we continue to navigate pandemic life, it’s more important than ever to find readily available remote work that is pandemic proof.

That’s why I put together this super mega list of 222 (and counting) in demand remote jobs for 2022 (and beyond). 

How did I compile this list? 

Over the last year, I heavily researched the top remote industries. With so many people looking for remote work, it was important to identify the industries readily embracing and hiring telecommuters.

These were the industries that continued to hire when many others were laying off workers by the hundreds and thousands. Of course, as a career coach, I often steered my clients towards these pandemic-hiring industries to help them land on their feet in a steady role. 

But I wanted to take it even further and identify the most popular job titles frequently posted on remote job board sites. 

The result? An amazingly comprehensive list of remote jobs that are here to stay. Period. 

How to Use This List

Whether you’re a career changer, career pivoter, or an unemployed remote job seeker, use this list to inspire your remote job search. See if your current (or most recent) job title is on this list. If so, great! You’re already primed and ready to launch a remote job search. 

However, if you don’t see any job titles that are close to the ones you’ve held, don’t panic. Often, you have transferable skills that you can use to land a remote job. 

As you browse the list, see if any industries or specific job titles pique your interest. Research those job titles and see what skills, education, and experience you need to get hired.

If you don’t have any of those skills, that’s okay too. You’re never more than an online course away from learning a remote-friendly skill you can use to get a remote job. 

And, don’t forget to use my no-fail 3-step system to figure out your dream remote job. Because, after all, we don’t want you to settle for any remote job. You deserve to find your dream remote job and, chances are, it’s on this list! 

Note: This is a long list divided up by category. So, settle in and grab a cup of coffee ☕You’ve got some reading to do. 

Administrative 

Thanks to remote collaboration tools like Google Docs and Trello, it’s pretty easy to perform administrative tasks from (almost) anywhere. You can work with people around the world to manage emails, schedule appointments, coordinate meetings, manage documents, and so much more. 

A clerical background is helpful. But you can also find online courses and training to prepare you for an in-demand remote administrative role. For example, Fully Booked VA is a go-to training center for aspiring administrative professionals. (You can even access their mini course for just $97).

Whether you already have the skills or need a quick refresher, there are plenty of remote administrative roles to consider:

Business 

In demand remote jobs in business are quite broad. They include all business roles you find in most corporations and Fortune 500 Companies. To make this list more readable, I combined human resources, operations, and legal positions under the business category. 

Most of these roles require a degree, specific work experience, or both to be considered. However, a handful of options like General Transcription and Legal Transcription can be learned via online training at schools like Transcribe Anywhere. 

If you have previous in-office experience, chances are you already have transferable skills you can use right now to market yourself in one of these remote business roles.

Customer Service 

As a career coach, I hear over and over again from clients that they will do anything but customer service. I get it. Customer service jobs can be a bit of a drag. You envision yourself taking call after call from unhappy customers leaving you completely drained by day’s end. 

Fortunately, not all customer service jobs are like this. In fact, in demand customer service remote jobs include reservations agents, travel agents, tech support reps, and even chat reps — no phone required! 

As a bonus, the majority of customer service jobs from home are entry-level.

Data

What is data? Well, data can mean a lot of things. Typically, remote data jobs deal with statistics, facts, and figures in an analytical way. 

You might run reports, make predictions or forecasts from a business point of view.

Most data jobs will require formal training and/or experience to get started. If a data career sounds interesting to you, I highly recommend you research the industry further to determine if it fits with your career ideals.

Editorial

Editorial remote roles are near and dear to my heart. I love writing, content creation, reading, proofreading and all the wordsmith roles widely available today. 

You too can cash in on your love of words to create an editorial career as a writer, proofreader, editor, copywriter, researcher, blogger, and more. 

When it comes to remote writing jobs, the proof is in the pudding. In other words, you need a portfolio of work to showcase your skills more than you need a specific degree. 

A great way to develop a portfolio is to complete online training. Good online editorial programs provide real world projects you can showcase. They will also teach you to effectively market your skills to future clients.

Keep in mind, moat editorial jobs from home are freelance or contract. That means you are self employed. It’s super important you understand the difference between employee and self-employment jobs from home before you jump in.

Don’t forget to check out online editorial classes. My favorite editorial classes are this free general proofreading workshop, the masterclass at Art of Proofreading, and this free class to become a highly paid freelance writer by Smart Blogger.

Healthcare & Medical Jobs

We typically don’t think of healthcare as a remote role. Usually, we picture healthcare in physical locations like clinics, hospitals, and doctors’ offices.  

However, as we saw in 2020, healthcare can also be remote friendly. For example, telehealth visits were up 154% in 2020 (and are expected to rise in the coming years). 

Plus, there are plenty of non-clinical roles, like medical billing and coding jobs, that are more admin than patient-facing. These jobs can be done remotely and are in high demand. In fact, one CNBC study found there are more openings for medical billing and coding jobs than there are trained professionals to fill them!

Keep in mind, there are A LOT of different roads to explore for tech roles. If you don’t have current experience or education in the field, it’s a good idea to get some.
