Top 15 jobs perfect for teleworking

How do I find a teleworking job?  

If you've ever looked to telecommute, you know that this is the thorniest question ... So before we review the perfect jobs for the job, let's detail the best ways to land a remote job offer! 

Case 1: Your job cannot be teleworked

This is the most complicated scenario! But don't worry: complicated doesn't mean impossible. 

Find a job that requires the same skills

The Covid-19 crisis accelerated the development of telecommuting, but not only that! Entire areas of our lives have been digitized: e-commerce has exploded, telemedicine has developed. 

As a result, jobs that could previously only be done face-to-face can now be done fully, or at least partially, from home. You'd be surprised to find in our ranking jobs such as teachers or medical secretaries! 

So don't hesitate to ask: can you telecommute in your line of work? Or a sister/cousin job that requires similar skills?

Retrain in just a few months with a Bootcamp! 

Another option may be to retrain for a job more suited to telecommuting. There are a number of ways in which you can retrain if you have an open-ended contract. 

As you'll see in the rest of this article, IT professions are particularly well-suited to full telecommuting, and offer very good salaries! 

‍

Bootcamps, short, highly professional training courses, enable you to retrain in Tech in just a few months. Here are 3 examples of Bootcamps you can take to retrain: 

• Bootcamp for working in cybersecurity
• Bootcamp to become a Data Scientist
• Bootcamp to become a Data Analyst

Case n°2: your profession is conducive to partial or total teleworking

You may already have some experience of this, but even if you work in a profession that's conducive to telecommuting, it's not easy to find telecommuting job offers. Especially if you want to work 100% from home, or even be a digital nomad!

Find 100% teleworking job offers

If you're looking for full teleworking jobs, you have 2 options: 

• set a "telecommuting" filter on your usual search platforms: telecommuting is now part of the norm, and most platforms offer to add a telecommuting filter to your searches. This is the case for Indeed, Welcome to the Jungle and even LinkedIn, all of which offer the option of filtering between Hybrid, Remote and Face-to-face. 
• use a job board dedicated to telecommuting, such as Remote.co, Flexjobs, Remotive, We Work Remotely. But beware: the choice is often more limited than on traditional platforms. 

Going freelance

If you're committed to being able to work 100% from home, this is surely the simplest solution. As a freelancer, you decide not only where you work, but also your working hours, your remuneration and who you work with. 

Once again, Tech professions such as Data Scientist, Web Developer or Pentester are very suitable for freelancers!
