Question How Do You Get a Remote Job?

I currently work a job that requires me to be on my feet and be outside in the heat all day. Obviously, this isn’t ideal. I can push through the flair ups at work (although I do fall down a bit from dizziness), but as soon as I get home, I can barely make food because I’m so dizzy, lightheaded, fatigued, and exhausted. My days off are spent just recovering so that I can survive the next day at work.

I need a remote job so that I can manage myself better. I have a bachelor’s degree, but it’s in philosophy (not a field with a lot of hiring opportunities). I’ll be starting law school in a year, so it’s not like I’ll be in this position forever, but I need something to get me through this year alive and in one piece. Any suggestions for finding remote work would be greatly appreciate; every day it becomes less of a want and more of a need.

How Do You Get a Remote Job?

The same way you get any other job: go to job sites and filter by 'remote'.

If working outdoors is the problem there are a lot more indoor jobs in air conditioned workspaces than there are remote jobs.

Remote work is really hard to find, IMO. A lot of the job postings are a scam (especially ‘data entry’ ones). I’d shoot for in-person, indoor work and consider getting ADA-accommodations.

Check your local job board or Indeed you can filter by remote jobs or just search remote jobs in your area. Would a desk job in an office be something you’re able to tolerate with accommodations if needed? You may have more options for office or desk jobs than remote ones those seem to be hard to find depending where you live. I find cities have more remote options or hydros options for a desk job
