Many more jobs can be done remotely than we think. Most office work could be done from home, but there are other things you'd never think of: customer service phone lines, psychotherapy, life coaching, yoga teaching... Often, we ourselves place limits and barriers on these things, and need extreme circumstances to make us see that there are other possibilities. With remote work, office not required, and telecommuting will bring many advantages to us and the environment. Let's work remotely for a better world.
The pandemic has forced us into remote working with no clue how to do it, without the means, without the preparation needed. The good thing is that it has given us the great opportunity to work from home, which might otherwise have taken years or even decades to arrive. Remote work is the new normal.
There is going to be more and more remote employment. It's up to you to adapt to it and to take advantage of all the benefits it holds for your career.
Carmen Corral has been remote working for more than eight years, both for companies and for herself. After more than ten years working in Human Resources and Personnel Development, stuck in an office from Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, she decided to do something that gave her more flexibility in when and where she worked. Now, she works remotely, while traveling the world.
