Five Ways to Increase Remote Work Opportunities This Year
Mar 25, 2025
This episode focuses on increasing your remote work opportunities despite headlines suggesting a decline. Some companies are recalling employees to the office, others have maintained or expanded remote work options, including hybrid models.
Camille emphasizes that while job market shifts occur, you can take proactive steps to create or find remote work opportunities instead of waiting for the job market to dictate your options.
In this episode, Camille builds on the subjects of her two previous episodes: the February jobs report and potential recession.
She highlights that, as with any economic shift, opportunities will close in some areas but open in others. The key is to position yourself strategically to take advantage of these changes rather than just waiting to see what happens.
The five main strategies Camille will discuss include leveraging existing experience, embracing technology, using specialized job boards, networking strategically, and considering contract, part-time, or freelance work. These approaches will help you stay competitive in the evolving remote work landscape.
First, leveraging past experience gives you the ability to highlight transferable skills relevant to remote work.
Second, by embracing technology, including AI tools, you can streamline job searches and increase efficiency in work processes. Third, specialized job boards help you zero in on remote work opportunities, offering listings for remote industries and freelance jobs.
Fourth, networking is a powerful tool when seeking remote jobs. Camille encourages relationship-building, which will help you access hidden job markets and potential client work.
Finally, she suggests considering alternative work arrangements—contract, part-time, or freelance positions—which can provide flexibility and open doors to long-term remote work opportunities.
In summary, the episode encourages you to be proactive in adapting to workforce changes rather than feeling discouraged by negative headlines. By implementing these strategies, you can increase your chances of securing remote work in 2025.
