Quickly apply

According to Charlette Beasley of Fit Small Company, a digital resource for small business owners, the secret to getting recruited for one of these work-from-home roles is to apply as soon as the opportunity is listed. "It's not uncommon for 100 to 150 individuals to reply to an ad in the first hour," she explains.

Make your work-from-home abilities stand out.

Employees who work from home must be self-motivated and self-starters. So, when applying, be sure to stress such attributes, as well as any other soft talents that demonstrate your capacity to operate autonomously, advises Silverman. He emphasizes your ability to keep track of your own productivity and to seek for support proactively. For example, in your cover letter, you may state, "When faced with a difficulty, I search out solutions rather than waiting for the issue to fix itself," and then provide an example.

Although many applicants who apply for work-from-home roles are caretakers and parents, Sharon Koifman, president of Distant Job, a remote employment service in Quebec, Canada, believes there is no need to concentrate on that when responding to job advertisements. Instead, emphasize why you are the greatest person for the job from the company's standpoint. "Companies employ remotely because they can't locate talent locally, they want to save money, or they want someone who is extraordinarily competent at their position," he adds.

So, if you're looking to be a web developer, your application should show why you're the finest web developer they can recruit. For example, you may add in your letter, "I've developed more than 50 websites for a range of companies, and I can turn projects around rapidly with minimal supervision and guidance."

Scams Must Be Avoided

Before applying for a job, be sure it's a genuine online job with a real organization. Even if you've never heard of the business, Beasley says you should be able to locate information about it and read customer reviews online. In other words, you want to ensure that the business has a digital footprint that extends beyond what they generate (like a LinkedIn page or website).

Most significantly, Silverman believes that you should never have to pay to apply for or begin a job. Make sure you understand how and when you will be paid, he advises. Also, trust your instincts. If anything does not sound correct, do not proceed with the position.
