Here are the top 5 reasons why jobseekers should consider applying for these positions

With the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world, social distancing measures and travel restrictions have been implemented to minimize contact between people. This, in effect, has opened doors for wider remote opportunities where companies from across the globe are hiring candidates outside their vicinity to continue its operations. 

While remote work allows hirers to efficiently expand their global workforce, it also allows candidates to land overseas jobs from the comfort of their home. All over the world, openness to remote work is on the rise, with 57% saying they are willing to work remotely, based on the recent Decoding Global Talent Survey released by leading online job portal JobStreet. Locally, the study reveals that 49% of Filipinos are willing to work for a remote employer and position. 

JobStreet sees the rapid emergence of global remote jobs due to the pandemic, and here are the top 5 reasons why jobseekers should consider applying for these positions.  

Wider scope of opportunities

One of the benefits of working remotely is having access to a much wider range of job opportunities that aren’t limited by geographic location. Applying for remote work is more convenient than physical jobs, with less requirements and restrictions. 

Job applications are mostly conducted online now, so candidates can apply to as many opportunities they can find on job boards for more chances of landing a job. 

More work independence

Working from home can provide autonomy and independence in your job that might be absent in a physical workplace. This will give you the freedom to plan out a schedule that will best suit your needs. Being able to step away from your work when you feel like you need a break can help you stay motivated and reduce burn-out. 

Your employee satisfaction may be higher because of the flexibility in performing your jobs. Not only do you have the ability to make decisions independently, you're also able to work with ease. This can have a direct influence on your overall job satisfaction.

Cost savings

With remote jobs mainly based at home, it has been proven to help workers save more money as they spend less on commutes, lunch out, coffee, gas, and clothes for their office wardrobe. It allows employees to make the best out of their hard-earned salaries and allocate more on emergency fund or personal savings. 

Design your workspace any way you wish 

Being able to create your own comfortable workspace is an excellent benefit of remote work. You can set up your home office and design it however you want. Let your personality shine in your own workspace, arranging it in a way that best suits your needs. Getting inspiration from your physical environment can help you increase efficiency. 

Productivity & better work-life balance

Many remote jobs also come with flexible schedules, which means that workers can start and end their day as they choose, as long as their work is complete. This control over your work schedule can be invaluable when it comes to attending to the needs of your personal life. Those extra few hours per week can be spent with friends and family, enjoying hobbies, exercising, or even pursuing a sideline business; in other words, it creates better work-life balance and increases overall productivity.

As the global health crisis continues to be a challenge, its impact on our work situation will most likely remain for the long term. With the advantages that global remote jobs offer in terms of cost savings, productivity and work-life balance, jobseekers should seriously consider this option as a way to rise above the tight times while finding a career that suits them.
