How to Start a Remote Job

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the business world forever. Even company executives that were resistant to remote work-from-home set-ups are realizing that their companies can operate without everyone needing to be in the office 9 to 5. Some companies may ditch their office spaces altogether and allow people to work from home permanently or have a rotating schedule to limit the number of people in the office at a time.

In fact, according to the Monster Future of Work: 2021 Outlook, allowing remote flexibility tops the list (43%) of U.S. company policy changes as a result of the pandemic, with flexible work schedules (40%) right behind. What’s more, 46% of companies say these policy changes are permanent.

Those changes indicate that there’ll be less face-to-face time at work. Whether you just started a new job, are searching now, or will make moves in the future, it will be helpful to know how to set yourself up for success if you’re starting a remote job. Here are four tips on managing the so-called “new normal” of remote hiring and working from home.
