Working from home is everyone’s dream. A comfy pair of pyjamas, an XXL coffee, and your cat purring next to the computer. No fighting to squeeze into the subway at 8 AM, no seeing your boss every day, no dealing with that coworker who thinks they’ll inherit the company. A dream that has now become completely normal.
What used to be something for programmers or big tech companies is now available to anyone with an internet connection and the desire to learn.
In fact, we come with good news: according to a FlexJobs survey, more than 75% of millennials and 80% of Gen Z say they are more productive working from home! And of course, it makes sense, less stress, more personal time, more freedom and, why not say it, more life.
Remote work (without previous experience)
In almost every place, not having experience means no one calls you for a job. Sure, we get it, experience is a plus, but we need a job to gain experience!
Luckily, times have changed, and the digital era has opened wide doors for those with no experience. Now you can start from scratch, learn as you go, and build a full career without ever having to clock in at an office.
