So you’ve decided to work remotely? Congrats. You’ve joined the ranks of over 43% of Americans who are working from wherever they want. That’s not a bad crowd to be a part of.

Now that you’ve taken the plunge with WYCO, the next step is a big one: how do you find that perfect remote job to take on the road with you as you work your way around the world? Fortunately, whether you’re looking for freelance gigs or a full-time position, in today’s day and age of remote working, you’re able to find both at the click of a button. The secret is knowing where to look.

What Type of Remote Work Is Out There?
Long gone are the days when remote working was limited to the tech crowd. While there’s certainly no shortage of software engineering and website development positions waiting to be filled, that’s just scraping the surface of what’s out there. Writers, photographers, teachers, lawyers, customer service reps, designers, healthcare professionals, operation managers, marketing specialists, and data analysts have all become possible careers for those who want to work from home, and this list of professions just keeps getting longer. As for who’s hiring, some big names have hopped on the remote hiring bandwagon, including companies like Adobe, Mozilla, and Zendesk. Long story short: no matter what you do or what kind of company you’re looking to work for, you can make it a reality with remote working.

Getting in the Game
Remote.com is the leading online network for remote workers, connecting over two million professionals with remote and freelance jobs on a daily basis. This unique platform works in two ways.

Figure Out What You Want
Figuring out what you want in a job is the next step in finding remote work. It’s important to remember that you get to call the shots when you choose to work remotely.

How about working part-time for one company with individual contracts on the side? On Remote.com, you can search positions based on hours, salaries, and full-time/part-time contracts.
