"Work-from-anywhere roles are unique from other remote openings, so job seekers need to be diligent and creative in their career search," said Keith Spencer, Career Expert at FlexJobs. "To stand out as a candidate, target the employers––like those featured on our top 30 list––that already operate this way, and ensure that resume and application materials reflect remote work skills and technical proficiencies, which are essential for work-from-anywhere environments."
Given the heightened competition and interest in working from anywhere, FlexJobs' career experts have outlined three key strategies to help candidates strengthen their chances of finding and interviewing for work-from-anywhere jobs.
- Connect With Fully Remote Companies
Search for companies that have a solid foundation of remote work. Companies that are remote-first or fully remote have the technology and policies in place to facilitate greater flexibility. Research each company's values, mission, and communication styles to better connect with these organizations. - Search Beyond Local Job Markets
The beauty of work-from-anywhere jobs is that a worker isn't confined to their local job market. Companies around the world may offer positions that align with a candidate's skills and expertise, which could lead to higher pay or more enticing benefits than what's available in the immediate vicinity. - Learn Remote Work Lingo
When job searching, start by learning the distinction between "fully remote," "flexible," and "work-from-anywhere" positions, and utilize keywords such as "digital nomad," "time zone-independent," and "distributed team." Terms like "asynchronous communication," "digital-first," and "time zone overlap" are also commonly used in remote jobs worldwide. Beyond the job search, stand out in interviews by mentioning common remote tools used frequently in work-from-anywhere environments, such as Slack, Zoom, Trello, Asana, and other popular platforms.
