Get Hired to Work from Home

Get hired to work from home! It's easier said than done. In fact, remote jobs are not easy to land. Why?

For starters, you need a resume to get hired to work from home. You can't use just any resume though. Your resume must be optimized for remote work. Plus, it has to pass through hiring software. Most resumes are never seen by human eyes. Remember, effective resumes impress robots and recruiters.

Your LinkedIn profile helps you get hired too. Recruiters find candidates through LinkedIn all the time. They search profiles and send interview requests based on what they find.

Often, you will write a cover letter to get hired to work from home. Use your cover to tell your career story. This lets you control your career narrative!

You'll explain things like career gaps, career changes, and why you are best for the job. Your cover letter also shows off your personality and writing ability. Remember, written communication is key in remote work. A cover letter free of spelling errors and grammatical mistakes helps your overall application.

Lastly, your personal brand determines if you get hired to work from home. As a reminder, your personal brand includes:

  • Social media profiles
  • Personal website
  • Any mention of your name online
  • Digital footprint

Recruiters and hiring managers regularly google potential hires. They also look at Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter too. Your activity online leaves a lasting impression. Make it a good one.
