If you think that only your work experience, skills, and education are what matter most to a remote manager, think again. Possibly even more important than your previous employment are your soft skills. For example, one of the biggest soft skills that a remote boss wants is someone who has superior communication skills. They’re also looking for workers who are accountable, meaning that you’ll take on a project and complete it. Finally, remote managers look to hire workers who have an earnest interest in their company, not just the fact that they can work from home. 2. Be prepared. Sure, you’ve answered what you imagine to be every conceivable interview question on the planet- even the strange ones! But remote job interviews come with their own unique questions, so it’s wise to be as prepared as possible. Here are some remote interview questions: What hours will you be working? What is your remote work experience? What does your home office look like? How do you stay focused and on deadline when working remotely? How do you troubleshoot problems on your own? 3. Be proactive. Gone are the days when job interviews were a potential boss firing questions and job candidates meekly answering them. Today’s hiring managers want (and expect) job candidates who are serious about working for their companies to come armed with questions of their own. Here are a few to ask, no matter what industry you’re in: Why do you offer remote work opportunities? Do you offer training programs and advancement opportunities? How do your team members communicate with each other? How many of your employees work remotely? Describe an instance when you were pleased or displeased with a remote employee. Once you start to interview for remote jobs, you’ll learn how to make the most of your job interview, allowing yourself to shine- and land the remote job you really want!
