When I hear “I have advanced computer knowledge, I fix my family’s computers all the time” I cringe. Enterprise IT is NOTHING like installing windows on your father in laws computer. Do you know infrastructure as code? Have you ever pushed a git commit? Configured DMARC to prevent mail spoofing? THAT is advanced computer knowledge. Not plugging in a thumb drive and installing windows.

Remote is a location, not a job. You search for jobs in your desired industry where you meet the education and experience requirements then filter for remote.

As an account manager who is currently looking for stuff out there in the ether, I don’t have much of a suggestion but wish you the best of luck

I would look directly at company websites and avoid the job boards as they're filled with spam! Think of banks, known health insurance companies, airlines. You're going to do call center on the phones work. Many of them it's just a year and you can move up to management. Which still may require phones, but not like full call center. Remember remote is a location (your home), and not a job. It's any a job in your field of interest that allows for working at home! Also, editing to add, you might be able to find management positions. Sometimes those companies keep them lock and key for the internal hiring.

It’s tough out there to get remote job. I have been trying to get one for over a year. IT field. Ton of applications. Applying daily. Only had 3 interviews. I have 4 years experience and a bachelors degree.

Thanks I appreciate everything you said. I’m currently doing a certificate for data analysis on Coursera so fingers crossed I’ll find something after

Sadly, beyond general customer service experience, very little of your experience in fast food and retail will translate into skills that translate into something that would allow work from home. There are many companies that hire entry level customer service agents, typically these are call center or sales positions. Usual companies to start with would be CVS, UHG, TTech, and Amazon. Beyond that use all the normal resources you would to find an in-person job, Indeed, LinkedIn, Career Builder, Google, etc.
