So, would you be a successful remote worker? Find out by seeing how many of these questions apply to you: 1. Are you a naturally self-motivated person, not requiring a lot of structure and guidance to be productive? 2. Do you know specifically what distracts you at work and how you can avoid those distractions? 3. Does the thought of working alone all day without regular human interaction NOT freak you out? 4. If you have roommates, children, or live-in relatives, are you capable of setting, and enforcing, boundaries so you have adequate time to work alone? 5. Can you foresee yourself establishing healthy work and life separation? 6. If you have children, do you have proper child care, and do you understand that watching your children while working remotely is not a good idea? 7. Are you able to clearly and effectively communicate over email, IM, and phone rather than face-to-face? 8. Will you be comfortable reaching out to other employees and your boss so you can stay in the loop and don’t miss out on opportunities for advancement? See the next pages for your results!

Below is a list of ways we’ve seen companies on FlexJobs describe these types of jobs. Most of these are synonyms, but each company chooses different wording so it’s important to be familiar with them all. Keyword Tip: Stay Safe When Searching The phrases “work from home” and “work at home” are most often used by scammers, so it’s best to use other words when searching for remote jobs. For the rest of the guide, we’ll avoid using the phrase “work-from-home job” unless we’re referring to a scam. For more on work-from-home scams, head to the last section of this guide. Different Levels of Remote Work and Location Requirements 7 How to Find a Remote Job and Start Working from Home Why would a remote job, where you get to work from home, need you to live in a certain place? Here are some of the most common reasons why at-home jobs may require a specific geographical location:  Legal: Companies may only conduct business in some locations due to licensing requirements or government regulations.  Taxes: Companies may only collect or pay taxes, like sales or employment taxes, in some locations like specific U.S. states.  Professional Licensing: Companies may hire for jobs requiring location-based certifications or licenses, like teaching or nursing.  Travel: Remote jobs that require travel may need to be based near a certain airport or close to a company’s office to ease travel plans.  Clients: Remote workers may need to be close to clients for in- person meetings, sales pitches, or troubleshooting.  Training or Meetings: Some companies prefer ongoing, on-site training or meetings to be done in person. Did you know? Not all remote jobs let you work 100% from home. The vast majority of remote jobs are a combination of at-home and in-office work. Pay close attention to job descriptions to discern which level of remote work is being offered for each job. It’s also important to know that most remote jobs have some kind of location requirement. Which Level of Remote Work Is for You? At FlexJobs, we divide our telecommuting job listings into different levels to help job seekers find the right fit. 100% telecommuting: remote jobs that can be done completely from home, and may have location requirements. Mostly telecommuting: remote jobs that are usually done from home, with occasional on-site work. Some telecommuting: remote jobs that include a mix of on- site and at-home work. Option for telecommuting: remote jobs that offer some occasional at-home work. Work-from-Anywhere: remote jobs that can be done completely from home, with no location requirements. 8 How to Find a Remote Job and Start Working from Home The Remote Job Market: Careers, Job Titles, and Companies Hiring Common Career Fields for Remote Work FlexJobs tracks the number of job listings for flexible and remote work in over 50 career fields every month.
