Several studies have shown that remote workers are able to manage their time better and are 47% more productive than those in the workplace.
When you’re working remotely, particularly from home, you have access to your computer from the morning through to the evening, and it can be tempting to start work earlier or continue to work later.
For this reason, being able to demonstrate time management on your CV is going to be very beneficial. You need to show that even when working out of the office, you will still be able to stay on top of your workload, meet deadlines and prioritise tasks without having a manager there to keep you on track.
But you need to be able to do all of this whilst also practising a strong work-life balance.
In any job, being flexible and able to adapt to change is important, especially with technology always moving and evolving. In remote positions, being adaptable is even more crucial for collaboration, dealing with technical issues, changing workloads, last-minute video conference calls and more.
Think about it, just a few months into the pandemic, the nation was faced with the first lockdown, and millions of professionals had to quickly adjust to working from home.
Employers are looking for people who can quickly adapt to changes like this and who can continue to work their hardest despite any issues or disruptions. Therefore demonstrating adaptability can instantly elevate your CV.
Networking is an important skill for any professional. It is a crucial way to hone your communication skills, learn from those in your industry and open yourself up to new opportunities. This can be done in lots of ways, including collaborating with others in your office, attending industry events, leveraging social media, and volunteering.
However, when you’re working remotely, it’s challenging enough to speak with our colleagues, let alone meet new people and foster new professional relationships.
Therefore, being able to network virtually is such a beneficial skill and one that you should demonstrate on your CV. It shows that you have interpersonal skills and that you can communicate effectively and collaborate with others, even when working remotely.
Technical literacy is vital as we become increasingly reliant on computers and other devices.
When working remotely, you might be required to use different tools or systems that you’ve not used before to enable you to do your job. For example, video conferencing platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams have become hugely popular amongst businesses.
