This week, let’s focus on those who haven’t joined the grind yet.

Remote work isn’t slowing down.

More companies are hiring globally, skill-based hiring is replacing fancy degrees, and the demand for remote talent is bigger than ever.

But what if you don’t have remote experience?

No problem!

You don’t need a “remote job” on your resume to get hired for one.

You just need the right approach. Let’s break it down.

1. Why Remote Work Is Easier to Get Into Than Ever

A few years ago, landing a remote job without experience felt impossible.

Companies only wanted experienced remote workers—which made zero sense (how does anyone start?).

Now? Things have changed.

🏢 More companies are hiring globally—so they’re more open to people who haven’t worked remotely before.
🎓 Degrees matter less—skills and real-world projects count way more than where you went to school.
🤖 AI & automation are leveling the playing field—making it easier to learn in-demand skills fast and get hired.

Bottom line: Remote work isn’t just for tech wizards or digital nomads anymore. You can get in too.

2. Find the Right Remote Job for You

Not every job is beginner-friendly. Some remote gigs expect experience.

Others? They’ll train you on the job.

📞 Customer Support & Live Chat Rep – Great if you’re good with people and don’t mind answering questions all day.
📊 Virtual Assistant – Helping businesses with admin tasks, emails, scheduling, and research.
✍️ Content Writer – If you can write clear, engaging content, you can get paid for it.
📢 Social Media Manager – Brands need people to manage their Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
📈 Sales & Lead Generation – Helping companies find new customers (often commission-based, but big earning potential).

💡 Pro tip: Even if you don’t have direct experience, you probably have transferable skills that fit one of these roles.

3. Get Experience Without a Remote Job

How do you get experience before someone hires you? You create it yourself.

✅ Freelance on the side – Sites like Upwork and Fiverr let you do small paid projects. Even one gig gives you experience to put on your resume.
✅ Take free/cheap online courses – Google, Coursera, and LinkedIn Learning offer certifications in things like digital marketing, project management, and customer service.
✅ Volunteer or intern remotely – Nonprofits and startups always need extra hands. Offer to help in exchange for experience.
✅ Build & showcase projects – If you want to be a writer, write some blog posts. If you want to do social media, create a fake campaign for a brand you love.

The goal? Have something to show when a company asks, “What have you done?”

4. Fix Your Resume & LinkedIn (So Recruiters Notice You)

Your resume shouldn’t just list job titles and duties. It should highlight skills companies actually care about.

📌 What to Include:
✔️ Remote-friendly skills: Communication, time management, self-motivation, tech-savviness.
✔️ Online certifications & training.
✔️ Any freelance, volunteer, or side projects you’ve done.
✔️ A short, clear summary at the top explaining what you bring to the table.

💡 LinkedIn Hack: Use keywords in your profile like “remote customer support” or “virtual assistant” so recruiters can find you faster.

5. Where to Find Remote Jobs That Actually Hire Beginners

There are tons of job boards, but not all of them are great for beginners.

🔎 Best sites for entry-level remote jobs:

• We Work Remotely – Legit remote jobs with clear requirements.

• Remote.co – Lots of customer service & admin roles.

• FlexJobs – Curated list (but requires a small fee).

• Remotive – You’ll also find a few non-tech jobs here.

• LinkedIn Jobs – Search “remote” + entry-level roles.

AND, of course, our growing list of remote work companies above!

🚩 Watch out for scams! If a job promises big money for little work, asks for upfront fees, or seems too good to be true… it probably is.

6. Nail the Remote Job Interview

Remote interviews are a little different. Here’s what hiring managers want to see:

📌 Can you communicate well? If you struggle to explain yourself in an interview, they’ll assume you’ll struggle over Slack & email too.
📌 Are you self-motivated? Show them you don’t need micromanaging to get things done.
📌 Do you have a basic remote setup? A quiet space, decent Wi-Fi, and a webcam go a long way.

💡 Pro tip: If they ask, “Have you worked remotely before?” and you haven’t—say this instead:

"I haven’t had a remote job yet, but I’ve worked independently, managed my own schedule, and I’m very comfortable using remote tools.”

Boom. You’ve framed yourself as remote-ready.

7. Stand Out From Other Applicants

Want a faster way to get hired? Do what most applicants won’t.

📌 Send a quick video intro with your application. A 30-second clip explaining why you’re excited about the role makes you more memorable. IT’S THE NORM NOW.
📌 Personalize your applications. Instead of “Dear Hiring Manager,” find the recruiter’s name on LinkedIn.
📌 Follow up after applying. A simple, polite email can bump your resume to the top.

You don’t need remote experience to get a remote job. You just need to:

✔️ Find beginner-friendly roles.
✔️ Gain experience through small projects.
✔️ Optimize your resume & LinkedIn.
✔️ Apply smarter, not harder.

Your first remote job is closer than you think. Start today, and 2025 could be the year you go fully remote.
