What's a Remote Worker?

Remote work is the practice of employees doing their jobs from a location other than a central office operated by the employer. Such locations could include an employee's home, a co-working or other shared space, a private office, or any other place outside of the traditional corporate office building or campus.

What are some remote careers?

Common types of remote jobs include:
  • Web designer.
  • Social media manager.
  • Customer service representative.
  • Virtual assistant.
  • Graphic designer.
  • Copy editor.
  • Accountant.
  • Recruiter.

Is remote the same as working from home?

If you work remotely full-time and it's never from home, that's your lifestyle. If you work from home, meaning that's where all your required office equipment is and it's where your job takes place, then that is your lifestyle as well. As you probably know, it comes with a range of positive benefits.
