So, you have decided that the next step in your professional growth is to switch careers. And you now want to be a remote worker after working full-time in an office.

Where do you start?

Lucky for you, we have compiled a list of easy-to-follow steps that will help you secure a home-based online job in the Philippines.

Step 1: Find Out Which Industries Are On the Rise

Step 1 Find Out Which Industries Are On the Rise

Before submitting any resume, you must first figure out which industry to apply to.

After all, you may have been wanting a change for several reasons. One of which could be to grow your professional career. You could also have monetary motivations.

Regardless, start by researching which industries are experiencing exponential growth.

Doing so will help you evaluate if you have the right qualifications. If not, you may want to consider upskilling.

Then, take time to seek legit online jobs. (Be careful of scams!)

Step 2: Create (or Update) a Resume

Step 2 Create (or Update) a Resume

After choosing an industry, you can now start crafting or updating your resume.

This step is one of the more tedious yet crucial when applying for a job. Your resume will essentially introduce you to your future employers.

As an online job seeker, you aim to create a strong image that will get you an interview.

Be sure to avoid making these common mistakes when writing your resume.

Step 3: Write a Cover Letter

Step 3 Write a Cover Letter

Along with your resume, you should also submit a cover letter (also known as an application letter).

Why do you need one when you already have a resume?

Think of it as a way to convince the recruiters to invite you for an interview.

Take your application letter as an opportunity to discuss your other qualifications and work experience. After all, not everything will fit in your resume.

Here are some tips on how to write a strong cover letter.

Step 4: Prepare for A Job Interview

Step 4 Prepare for A Job Interviewc

Finally, you’re scheduled for an interview!

What should you do?

Preparation is key. To start, look up some of the most common questions asked during a job interview.

If you are looking for a job online, you will most likely be invited to a virtual interview.

Do your best to ready yourself. And when the recruiter asks that one final question: ”Do you have any questions?” don’t just answer with a “yes” or “no.”

Instead, here are some ideas on how to answer to leave a lasting impression.

Step 5: Politely Follow Up on Your Job Application

Step 5 Politely Follow Up on Your Job Application

When you have reached the final interview, the hiring manager usually gives you a time frame for expecting feedback.

Oftentimes, the company cannot reach out to you within this period. Don’t overthink or panic just yet.

Recruiters are extremely busy people. The recruitment team also has to coordinate with the higher-ups. Thus, decisions about your application will take some time.

Still, there is a way for you to follow up on your job application without seeming impatient or impolite.

Step 6: Negotiate Your Job Offer

Step 6 Negotiate Your Job Offer

Finally!

You managed to land the job, and your employers are now ready to hire you.

The manager will be sending you a job letter. However, upon reading it, the salary was not up to your expectations.

How do you tell them so?

Enter your negotiation skills.

Before signing the offer and/or contract, make sure to negotiate your desired pay. This ensures that you come into the online job without short-changing yourself.

Job Hunting is Tough.

Job Hunting is Tough

Starting anew is difficult.

For instance, in a professional setting, this means learning the ropes while mingling with new coworkers and bosses. It’s kind of like starting from scratch.

Still, you can look at it as a chance to grow and build on your previous knowledge.

Here’s to hoping the new year brings you where you want to be. Good luck!
