How to Land your First Online Job in 2019

In a world where technology continues to evolve and traffic continues to, well, exasperate, online jobs have started to gain a widespread appeal. Remote jobs offer convenience and flexibility that you won’t usually find in traditional office-based positions, and more people want in. It’s a good thing that every year the world becomes more and more digital, expanding boundaries and offering countless possibilities for online job hunters. Whether you just want to work at home or you’re looking for some ways to earn money while doing other things on the side, here’s how you can boost your chance at landing your first online gig this year.


But first, portfolio

Obviously, you’re not the only one who had the brilliant idea of finding a more convenient alternative to a traditional 9 to 5 office job, and there’s definitely going to be competition. Remote jobs don’t usually have the same rigorous recruitment process that gives you a lot of opportunities to showcase your talents, so the key is to impress at first glance. One of the best ways to do that, apart from submitting a well-written resume, is to attach an excellent portfolio that speaks of your worth as a candidate.


Say hello to LinkedIn

Don’t underestimate the power of the Easy Apply button. Applying directly via LinkedIn saves you a lot of time and effort. All you have to do is log in, search for an online job by keywords or location, and click Apply. It also works the other way around, allowing companies to find you instead. LinkedIn connects you with thousands of companies around the world, making it easier for you to find the online job that interests you.


Apps to Earn Money

You might be surprised at how easy you can make money online via apps that allow you to lend your expertise or even just your free time to other people. Callmart, whose slogan is “Callmart: Make connections. Earn money online”, lets you earn money from home by communicating with your followers or providing consultations to your clients remotely. Whether you’re a YouTuber who’s looking for an additional income stream, a stay-at-home mom who wants to earn money online without abandoning your mommy duties, or just someone who always has a couple of free time on your hands--you could easily turn your free time to cash. All you have to do is download the app, create a listing, take calls, and get paid! You can even choose when you want to take calls, no pressure, no commitments.


Go freelance

If you have skills or experiences that allow you to provide services remotely, like writing and editing, graphic designing, or even customer service, you won’t go short of online job options. Sites like Upwork and Indeed are a gold mine for freelancing opportunities. Search for a job that you want, choose the ones whose budget work for you and send a proposal. If you get a job and they like your work, there’s a huge chance for repeat business. Some even offer a long-term position so you don’t need to keep looking for new prospects all the time.
