Right now, the job market is in flux. Telecommuting is still widely practiced, though many organizations are returning to the office. Of course, remote work and hybrid schedules remain popular among workers, and have proven to be a winning recruitment strategy for plenty of nonprofits.
That’s why Work for Good has made it simple to list and locate those work-from-home opportunities. Here’s the process in two easy steps:
1. Pull up job listings by using a keyword search or choosing a topic. From our homepage, you can search for jobs three ways. You can:
- Type in a keyword and a location and then click the “Search” button,
- Click one of the categories under “Mission Focus Area” or “Role Category,” or
- Click “Find a job” in the navigation bar at the top of the page.
This will bring you to a page with job listings on the right and a set of filters on the left.
2. Filter for “Remote” and/or “Hybrid positions. Scroll down to the filter for “Workplace options,” where you can select “Remote” for fully work-from-home positions, and “Hybrid/Flexible” for partially in-office positions.
After a moment, your listings will be filtered for your preference. (Of course, you can also filter listings in a range of other categories, including education and experience requirements, pay rate, mission focus area, and role category.)
A few points to keep in mind:
Read the description carefully and don’t be afraid to ask directly. If an opportunity catches your eye, be sure to read the entire job description. If the opportunity for working from home isn’t explained in full, or indicates work-from-home conditions that aren’t detailed, don’t hesitate to visit the employer’s site, locate the “contact” page, and send a brief email or form message asking whether they are hiring for their open positions remotely. If you end up getting an interview, be sure to confirm their work-from-home plans with your interviewer, both in the short-term and in the long-term.
Revisit the Work for Good job board often. Job opportunities are being updated continuously on Work for Good, and we expect work-from-home opportunities to continue being offered for a long time – as mentioned above, it has become a great way for employers to attract talent, especially as it has been shown to have a positive impact on employee retention and productivity.
Set up job alerts to reflect your work-from-home preferences. You can view, edit, and add to your existing job alerts by clicking on “Your account” at the top of the page and clicking “Your job alerts” on the “Your account” page. (Unfamiliar with job alerts? See our how-to guide here.)
