Remote.co is excited to launch a new section that features insight from experienced remote workers.
So far, dozens of successful remote workers and digital nomads from companies such as Dell, Anthem, GitHub and Automattic have shared their experiences of becoming a remote worker, how they work remotely, their remote career and their remote life. The remote worker section complements the 108 remote companies on Remote.co that have shared best practices for using remote work as a sustainable business practice.
Telecommuting continues to be the most popular form of flexible work for job seekers, and experienced telecommuters are increasing the amount of time they spend working from home. Of those who telecommuted in 2015, 22 percent telecommuted more this year than last year. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, thirty-seven percent of U.S. workers say they have telecommuted, four times greater than 9 percent in 1995.
Remote workers featured on Remote.co span career fields such as computer/IT, marketing, education and travel. Positions vary as well, with job titles such as CEO, head of content, programmer, marketer and writer. Professional-level remote jobs are available across a wide variety of industries, thanks largely to cloud-based technologies, new collaboration tools, and changing priorities and expectations from the workforce itself.
These experienced remote workers provide in-depth answers to a variety of questions, such as:
- How did you convince your company to let you work remotely?
- How do you cope with feeling lonely while working remotely?
- How has working remotely impacted your career plans?
- Do you use coworking spaces? What are the best ones?
- What apps or websites can’t you work remotely without?
- How do you stay connected to your professional community virtually?
- What are your favorite cities in which to work remotely?
Remote.co’s featured workers identify as either home-based remote workers or digital nomads. The digital nomads share additional information about how remote work supports their nomadic lifestyle, including the time spent traveling and the cities and countries they’ve visited.
Since launching in July 2015, Remote.co has grown into four main sections.
- Remote Company Q&As: leaders from 108 remote companies, representing over 8,600 distributed team members, have answered questions about issues relevant in a virtual environment. The most popular question on Remote.co so far has been “What traits do you look for in candidates for a remote job?”
- Remote Worker Q&As: Remote workers and digital nomads share insight on how they successfully work remotely.
- Remote Jobs: Remote.co curates remote job listings in the most in-demand categories, such as software, marketing, HR and writing.
- Remote Work Blog: 210+ articles, including 25+ from expert guest authors such as Dell and PGi, have been published in three main categories–the benefits of going remote; how to build remote teams; and how to manage remotely.
Remote.co is the definitive remote work resource. Designed specifically for professionals and companies interested in or already embracing remote work, Remote.co is the leading space for innovative conversations around remote work.
