Tips for Landing a Seasonal Work-from-Home Job

Tips that can help you land the perfect remote seasonal or holiday job. 

Start looking early: 

The earlier you start looking the better. Hiring for seasonal jobs is happening now. 

Highlight your experience: 

• Even if it was only occasional remote work or unpaid volunteer work you did from home. 
• State it clearly. List “Remote Work” next to your job title. 
• Include your remote work experience in the descriptions of your past jobs. 
• Build it into your skills section. For example, list the top skills employers like to see when hiring for remote jobs, such as time and task management, communication, self-management, the ability to work independently, and comfort with technology. 

Make sure you understand the requirements of any seasonal job. At this time of year, employers need to hire people who will be able to work through the holidays, which may include Thanksgiving or Christmas. 

Safely find a seasonal job: 

With increased hiring during the holiday season can come increased job scams. Make sure you check out the company and use a reliable source such as FlexJobs. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
