Most people want to work for a company that will trust, enable and invest in them.
If you've never worked remotely before, it’s hard to know what questions to ask to evaluate a remote employer.
As a lot of people are struggling to find a remote job, it’s tempting to just go for the first chance you get.
Please don't do that.
Just like any other job, doing due diligence on a company before signing a new job is really important.
Here's my tips on what to look for in a future employer:
To uncover the above, I recommend you ask questions about:
The company values.
The company culture.
What's leadership like?
Do they invest in their people?
Do they care about their people?
Speak to employees that have left.
Will they give you an onboarding?

Speak to employees that work there.
On average, how long do people stay there?
Ask questions about all of these things to see how they live up to them.
Another question that is very relevant to ask is how you will be measured in your role. You want to make sure you avoid companies that use remote tracking software.
Trust
Remote work starts with trust. That’s the foundation of it.
Employers should be focused on outcomes, not hours spent working.
So, in other words, this is a topic I would definitely bring up in an interview if I were you.
An interview is a two-way street.
And remember, be yourself, be curious about them, show that you’ve done your research (come prepared) and be ready to share your unique story with them.
You got this!
Cheers, Hanna

2 年Loved the questions to delve into! Personally I like do the same for 3 pillars: 1. Can I make money there? 2. Do I see myself enjoying working there? (Most of what you covered help evaluate this) 3. Is there room for me to grow with the company as the org scales?
