How To Work Online While Traveling

in #howto7 years ago (edited)

As many of you know, working from home instead of going to another certain location to do your job can be really diverse. Like, there are many opportunities (most of them not available in every country), but still, you have to choose what type of work is the best one for you.

To find the best remote job that suits your needs and is also in the acceptable salary range could be challenging. This happens because in the job searches one has to consider the demand on the labor market, what kind of jobs are currently active, which industries develop quicker and require additional workforce. Unfortunately, the current job offers not always could fit once qualifications, knowledge, and experience, and on the contrary - most of the times it's just the opposite: the employee has to adapt to the job.

Why does this happen? As we all know, the world in the recent years becomes more and more dynamic. Fashion changes, ideas change, not to mention technology progress. By the time someone starts and finish education in school or university, the demand for workers with such qualifications might have altered. Yes, you might have studied and currently know a lot about the most popular and well-paid job by the time you study, but it is not guaranteed that the situation will remain the same some years after. And the key here is to be able to fit and adapt to any environment so that you stay successful.

Heres a video where you can learn or gather other information;

Since the main idea I have is to give heads up on how to find the best possible job in the current situation, I'll divide this blog into several sections with useful tips. Hope you can get the most of it, and I will be glad if I could give some ideas to people looking for a job.

The experience I had so far with work from home positions, shows me that the most efficient way to find such work is by simply dive into the environment. This means to actually virtually meet people with similar interests, like in forums or read blogs written by people who already walked on that path. You'll be surprised how many ideas you can get from forums, and of course, you'll need to read between the lines sometimes and learn to ignore negativity. But in general, I find forums and blogs extremely useful not only for finding a job that fits your need but also for keeping informed about new opportunities which arise now and then.

Use forums or work-related blogs
Such websites are a source of real human experiences and even if they can in many cases delude you, I truly believe that they are much more helpful than harmful. Even if it's only to get the tiny bit of information as a name of a new website, that it not yet on top search engine results. Then you can do your own research for this particular company/business and see what else you could find about it around the web.

Here are some examples of forums and blogs you can check:

www.workfromhomehappiness.com

www.theworkathomewoman.com

www.wahm.com/forum

www.workersonboard.com

You can find more yourself by simply searching for them online using any search engine.

Decide what you really want
This is the second most important step to do after making some initial research of the available resources. I emphasize - it's the second thing to do because you can't choose something without knowing what to choose from. First, you check the available options, then you can pick the most relevant and appropriate for your liking. You may want any job in the beginning and have an idea what you are good at and what you will enjoy working, but if this is not coordinated with what's on offer, it could just remain a dream job that never comes true.

Once you have a clear set of job types or industries, then you can consider:
-What's the job that is most enjoyable for you?
-What's the job that you most closely fit in terms of qualifications?
-Is the salary close to your expectations?
-Is this a job you can do temporary or for a longer period?

It's also good to take into account if you're looking for freelance projects or a long-term contract job. In case it's the first one, your requirements might not be so strict. If a project continues for a few months only, then you don't need to worry it doesn't fit you completely because it's not something you'll need to adjust to in the future. It's a different story with the contract jobs - they have to be the best possible match for you so that you can continue to be effective and do your job over the years.

At the end, you might find yourself in a situation where you have several offers, but you don't have the physical ability or time to work on all of them. That's the time you will have to choose. My advice here is to select the job that fits a larger number of criteria you have initially defined for yourself. If you have to choose between a pleasant job for a lower salary and a higher-paid job that is hard to bear - well, here is a question of priorities.

Anyhow, finding a proper work and position is a continuous process, and even after you've found one, it's a good idea to keep updated regarding the available offers. So that you are prepared in case you'd like a change or any other unpredictable factors. That would be all for now.

Hi, I follow u, follow me back if u want lot of upvotes.

Nice that you provide with all these references :) I've been working while traveling myself, and can say that it's fun and practical in cases of emergencies, but it wasn't quite easy. Not because there was a lot of work to do, but vacation/travelling is setting your mind to relax and enjoy the places you visit.

Working from home is the first step to nomad lifestyle I think. Just after you use to the fact that you became your own boss, you'll find out the desire inside of you to discover the beauty of freedom and the best to do it - is to start traveling.
