The job seekers who still want to work from home full-time
Fully remote jobs are competitive. Here's who gets to work remotely — and what to emphasize if you're looking for an entirely WFH role.
Andie Allan, a marketing manager, aspires to work fully remotely, alongside her German Shepherd Luther. Although fully remote positions account for only 9% of LinkedIn postings in September, they attract 33% of applications, resulting in fierce competition. Allan aims to leverage her experience working with global teams to stand out among the applicants.
Many companies have returned to in-person work, increasing the demand for remote roles, but only a few industries like technology, information, and media, financial services, and administrative support services offer a significant number of remote jobs. Job seekers need to demonstrate they can communicate effectively and thrive in a remote setting, highlighting their adaptability to various time zones and cultural backgrounds.
Despite the challenges, Allan remains optimistic and remains upfront with prospective employers about her remote work and her German Shepherd.
