In today's realities, a job where you can work from home is a very good option. Our lives have changed a lot under the influence of the pandemic and other reasons. Due to the pandemic, many companies have mastered the experience of remote work of employees, and have realized that they can save on offices, creating jobs for those who would want to work from home. In fact, many people work much better from home, because they feel a lot more comfortable, they can work more productively because they do not leave their comfort zone, they are not distracted by other employees. And it is also very beneficial for hiring companies, as they can not spend money on office rent, and many other expenses that are associated with keeping people at work. Also, companies that hire workers can find the best employees for themselves, since their search is not limited to any city, or even country.
Remote job - very generally it is a job not in the office. Those who want to work in this form of employment can work from home, or wherever they are at a particular time. Remote work can also work for hire, for some company, or freelance. A remote job is very suitable for professionals who need a flexible schedule, and a lack of attachment to the office. For example, for a young parent who must constantly be near the child, this type of work will be much more convenient and easier than doing a job in the office. There are many advantages to working from home, but there are also some disadvantages compared to working in an office.
There are many benefits to working remotely compared to working in an office. For example, you can adjust the schedule for yourself, and work at a time that is suitable for you and when you can work most productive, you can not spend a lot of time and money on getting to your job every day. Also, if you are an introvert, working from home, you will not feel discomfort because of the many people around, and besides, the absence of many people around, with their questions and complaints, can very well affect the quality of work, since nothing will distract you. Also, working from home does not necessarily mean working from home. You can work anywhere in the world productively, being in a resort or in another country, that’s a great benefit for those who are into traveling.
In addition to the obvious advantages, this work has some disadvantages for people in general. For example, people who have difficulty concentrating and doing work, who are easily distracted and lose focus on work, will work at such work with great difficulty, and it will be difficult for them to perform work productively without any control. Also, people who need to work live and in a team will find it hard to work without people around, even though they’re often distracted from work. And besides, for those who work remotely, career growth is moving rather slowly. And if a working person does not live by himself, but with his family, then working when everyone is constantly almost trampling on their heads, and there is constant noise and movement in the apartment, is very difficult and harms productivity. And for those who are important to keep their bodies in good physical condition, it will be difficult to sit at home all day.
These benefits and cons apply to different groups of people, since in essence all people are different. Some people are more introverted and some more extroverted, and it will be difficult for these people to work in conditions that do not suit them. It is important to choose a job with this type of employment, in which you can show the best productivity.
Any interview answers for all possible questions should be prepared carefully and in advance. In the interview you can be asked a lot of questions, there are many questions that are already common knowledge and are in all manuals for passing interviews successfully. There you can find information on how to answer all common interview questions. And all these questions need to be prepared carefully and in advance. But few people mention how to answer questions related to online jobs.
To answer this question, "why do you want to work remotely?" you need to prepare carefully, especially if you haven’t discussed this issue with the employer before. Yes, many companies easily can provide people with the chance to work from home, but if you want to work for a certain vacancy in some company because you like it, and the vacancy on the site where you found this vacancy does not say anything about the possibility of working remotely, you will have to prepare a list of reasons why you would like to work from home for this particular vacancy, and why you would like to work in this particular company. But it is best to look for vacancies where you can work from home and this is already indicated in the advertisement.
If you want to correctly answer it, you need to study the vacancy itself in as much detail as possible, the list of all requirements for the employees, local culture, expectations, what level of qualification, education, or some special requests they should have. Then you need to get acquainted with the company itself in which you are going to work, what are its goals, directions of development, if possible, get acquainted with the employees of the company, you may have to talk with them when applying for any vacancy. All of this knowledge will come in very handy when you prepare for your interview, as you need to be prepared for what you will be asked and know how to answer these questions so that you are more likely to be hired, and want to be.
To answer this question convincingly, you will need to find and make a list with all arguments why you would like to work remotely, and why it is more convenient for you to work online. Also consider proving that you can work more effectively from home, and how to negotiate this.
It is worth understanding that there are different options for remote jobs. When you just work remotely in some company, you are tied to some office, and you may even need some reasons to come there sometimes in order to do something for work. And there is freelancing, when you work for yourself, are not tied to any office, and just doing a job anywhere and anytime. In fact, the second option is very good for those who would like to work in another country, but do not have the opportunity to be physically present there. To date, there are a huge pile of such vacancies, such as design, programming, product testing, and so on. You can work on these positions on your own. And if you want to work as an accountant, auditor or call center operator, you need to be registered somewhere, and sometimes visit your workplace. Make sure that at the interview you find out exactly all the conditions for a remote job for your vacancy, and in what format you will work, so that you are ready to come to the office if necessary. It is important to choose the most comfortable offer for yourself, since only being in comfortable conditions can show the maximum and best result.
If you want to work remotely, you will need slightly different personal qualities than those who will work in the office. As with a regular job interview, you need to be as honest as possible, but you need to say mostly things that will put you in an advantageous position with the employer. In no case should you answer this question with reasons why you want to work remotely because you are just too lazy to go to the office. Instead, it’s better to say that, for example, it’s much easier and more convenient for you to work remotely, and by working this way you can show the best result. Also, do not say that you work in several places, if you are not directly asked about it, as the employers will think that you will devote little time to his project and will work inefficiently, even if you can easily work in two places without losing the quality of completed tasks. Also, do not describe in too much detail why it is better for you to work remotely if the employers does not ask you about it in detail.
