A New Way of Working

Remote work isn’t something exactly new, but since 2020, millions of workers worldwide have made this shift almost at once. Now that several industries have learned that it’s possible to select and manage their workforce anywhere in the world, this model is here to stay.

Check below some of the main industries hiring remote workers.

Health

Telehealth is one of the main novelties brought about by this period. Many jobs opened in this field in the past two years. It’s possible to schedule sessions with therapies, phone-based follow-ups with nurses, and video appointments with doctors in several fields. Platforms providing this kind of service hire professionals for part-time and full-time positions. 

Job positions:

• Nurse practitioner
• Registered nurse
• Technical care specialist
• Telehealth Coordinator

Education

Education is one of the fields better adapted to remote work. We’re not getting into the debate of whether it replaces or not traditional education. Now we have several efficient tools for online discussions, group lessons, recorded classes, and much more.

It’s possible to have online classes with specialists from the other side of the world, and many platforms concentrate on these professionals and virtual schools today.

Job positions:

• Language instructors
• Elementary tutor
• Academic advisor
• Training coordinator

Entertainment

The online entertainment industry knows no crisis. It’s been growing consistently at a rate of 20.82% per year. Such impressive numbers are likely to remain that way until 2027. It means that this market is thriving. One of the options that are not quite obvious would be the online casino industry. The casino industry offers plenty of remote work opportunities around the globe.

Job positions:

• Live dealer
• Client services representative
• Games delivery specialist
• Social media marketing specialist

Sales/eCommerce

With more people working and studying from home, online shopping was a natural development. The global eCommerce market size reached almost USD 5 trillion last year, and it’s in very high demand. You can work for renowned eCommerce brands and even start your own business in this field.

Job positions:

• Content specialist
• Client services representative
• Account manager
• UX representative

Information Technology

IT professionals were in a really privileged position when the remote-work wave came by. Developing, programming, and maintaining systems or websites can be done anywhere. Because many job positions in this field were already remote, these professionals made a smooth transition to remote work.

Job positions:

• Cloud architect
• Information architect
• Web security specialist
• Application engineer

Working Anywhere

The digitalisation of the job market has created a myriad of new opportunities on several fronts. It’s possible to work with companies from another continent and even start your own business, following the latest trends in the market.

Screwdrivers

In any given home, there will be hundreds of screws. They’re on the back of your electrical appliances; they’re hiding in your furniture; in many cases, they’re keeping the very fabric of your home together. A screwdriver is something that you’ll always need. Keep a selection to hand, in a range of sizes and sockets.

Spanners and Wrenches

Similarly, you’ll need to occasionally deal with hexagonal bolts and other such things. You’ll mostly be using a spanner when you come to deal with the plumbing, and your car. You have a choice here: between adjustable spanners, and an assortment of fixed ones. In practice, it’s best to go for both.

Tape Measure

Just about every job that involves the tools listed here will also involve taking a measurement of some kind. You’ll therefore want a reliable tape measure available – ideally one that can clip onto your belt!

Drill

Being able to drill a hole in something will allow you to do a whole range of things around the house. Whether you’re joining sections of wood, attaching curtain rails and radiators to the wall, or mixing plaster, a drill is a great tool to have.

Hammer

A hammer is another essential tool to bring to bear on a problem. If you want to mount a picture, you can simply hammer in a nail. If you want to bring down a wall, then a sledgehammer is what you need. Make sure you’ve got at least one nail-removing hammer available.

Torch

You’d be surprised how puny the torch built into your phone really is, when the time comes for you to scramble around in a darkened shed, or in the attic. Do yourself a favour and get yourself a proper torch. One that straps to your head will allow you to work with both hands. If you can’t see what you’re doing, you’ll be unable to work safely and effectively.

Multi-tool

An oscillating multi-tool is a tremendously versatile piece of equipment. It will vibrate back and forth very quickly, providing you with an easy means of cutting, sanding, grinding, and scraping. The key advantage here is speed and adaptability: a multi-tool can reach into awkward spots that a traditional saw can’t touch. Plus, it won’t cut your skin, but it will cut through wood and plasterboard.
