I've worked in accounting for 3 years, but only in offices. Now I want to apply for remote jobs I see posted everywhere, but I'm worried employers won't consider me since I've never worked from home. How do I show them I can handle remote work even though all my experience is in-person?

Most people who work remotely today have worked in the office before getting a remote job; that's not a problem. You have to show you can deliver and work effectively without having someone to micromanage you, and that's great!

I was in the same situation last year when I switched from in-office accounting to fully remote. I made sure my resume highlighted skills that matter for remote work, like managing deadlines independently, using accounting software without direct supervision, and communicating clearly through email and chat. During interviews, I gave examples of times I worked on projects with minimal oversight or coordinated with colleagues in other locations. That helped employers see I could handle remote work even without having done it before.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?
