A Reminder about Remote Work!
If you're seeking Remote Work, it's important to know what warning signs to look out for. Remember this one unwritten rule.
It's not uncommon for companies to impose certain requirements for their remote workers. You may find a perfectly legitimate job that requires you to have internet and phone access at home, for instance.
But the one unwritten rule to follow in the context of remote work is that you shouldn't have to pay to work.
For example if you are told you need to purchase specific equipment such as a new computer and then mail it to the company so they could install the proper software, you should immediately became suspicious. Most likely, it is a Scam! #AWU ##disability #jobs #remotework

The Levels of Remote Work!
So, what does remote mean for a job? There are different levels of remote work, depending on each employer’s needs.
100% Remote Work: These positions are fully remote and allow you to work from home for all of your working hours, with no in-office time or travel required.
Hybrid Remote Work: These roles are partially remote, either requiring some travel or some time in the company’s office. Hybrid remote workers may spend a majority of workdays in the office with occasional work-from-home days, spend the majority of their time working from home with occasional in-office days, or split their time evenly between in-office and remote work from home.
Option for Remote Work: These jobs give workers the option to either work from home or go into the office — or both.
Variations may exist between employers, but ultimately, optional remote jobs provide the choice of working remotely some or all of the time.
There may also be a location component to Remote Work. The employer may say Remote Work from anywhere or say Remote Work but must live locally.
Good luck with your job search. #AWU #disability #jobs #remotework

Organizational Skills
Remote Work!
Organization is a crucial skill for remote work. Without a physical office or colleagues around, you’ll need to manage your time and tasks effectively.
This means setting priorities, creating schedules, and staying on top of deadlines. Being organized also helps you maintain a healthy work-life balance and avoid burnout.
You have to ensure all your work is completed on time, which can only happen if you’re organized. Plus, virtual team collaboration tools like Trello or Asana make it easier to stay organized and keep track of your tasks.
