Since Covid, the number of people working from home – or wanting to work from home – has multiplied exponentially. Today, I want to offer resources and strategies to help you land a WFH job. I’m not going to go into how to determine which types of WFH jobs you should apply for – I’ve covered that in other episodes. For today’s episode, I’m going to assume you know your Motivated Skills and how you want to apply those skills in a WFH job. A note here: your desire to WFH shouldn’t be the primary consideration as to which jobs you pursue. You still have to enjoy the work and exercise your Zones of Genius. I’m also not going to go into the steps everyone should be taking to look for any kind of job, such as customizing your resume and networking. Again – covered in other episodes. Also – buyer beware. There are WFH scams out there, so check with the Better Business Bureau and other sites to ensure the validity of the job.  FiltersThere are a number of legitimate remote job sites, which I will be sharing in this episode. Another consideration is using filters on “mainstream” sites like LinkedIn and Indeed. Try “remote,” “work from home,” “telecommute,” and “virtual” to narrow down the jobs you see. Also consider that some companies may offer WFH jobs on their website but not on sites like LinkedIn, so be sure to check.  Read the job description – and interpret itSome jobs will clearly state the in-person, virtual, or hybrid nature of the job, with specifics such as WFH Fridays or “must be in office 2-3 days per week.” When the parameters are specifically laid out in the job description, I would take that as fact. That is not to say that the “must be in office 2-3 days per week” couldn’t be negotiated down to just 2 days, or that which days you are in office can’t be negotiated – I mean that a job that clearly states “must be in office M-F” isn’t likely to be flexible about a hybrid or WFH setup. What about those jobs that aren’t clear in their description? Post-Covid, I would take that as POSSIBLY a sign that there is some flexibility. My thought is this: I don’t want to remove myself from consideration for a job I am really interested in and very qualified for just because I want WFH capabilities, so I’m going to go through the process and see what happens. An employer who does have some flexibility is more likely to exercise that flexibility once they’ve gotten to know you, your qualifications, and the value you will bring to their organization. When do you bring this up? I might try to suss this out sooner rather than later. Perhaps they directly ask you what type of work setting you are looking for – in this situation, I would be honest but vague. I might try responding with a question like “What do you see as viable options for this role?” This likely won’t be solidified, however, until after a bona fide job offer has been made, so before you sign on the dotted line make sure you understand what’s in the offer and ask for any concessions you want so the offer can be amended. Understand that the only time you can negotiate is between the time a bona fide job offer has been made and you have accepted that offer. Before this, it is hypothetical, and afterward, they aren’t likely to improve on what you have already accepted. Be wary of language that speaks to the temporary nature of the hybrid or WFH condition. I recently had a client who had to quit her job because the WFH situation became in-office and she lived some two hours away and couldn’t relocate.  Websites for WFH FlexJobs is one of the top boards to find remote, part-time or flex jobs.
