Look for organisations that have a clear home-based work policy.
Avoid being scammed, select high quality job search platforms.
Tailor your resume to highlight previous remote work experience, and skills appropriate for remote working.
Prepare your virtual presence for an online interview. Being well presented in a calm and private space is key to making a positive impression.
Prepare for questions you may get at interview to specifically highlight how you effectively communicate and collaborate remotely.
