Top 9 remote jobs that pay well

Remote jobs have existed for several years, however, the demand for this type of jobs increased rapidly after the pandemic, since many workers lost their jobs and had to opt for this new way of working to protect their families from possible contamination.

However, before the pandemic, many people worked remotely doing writing, graphic design, translations, web page creation, among others.

Even a new "career" began, that of the "influencers", people who stood out in social networks performing jokes, dances, parodies, and even give personalized courses on food or fitness.

Here we will show you 9 of the most relevant remote jobs:

  1. Office jobs: This type of jobs can be done particularly by accountants, lawyers, teachers, administrators, engineers and almost anyone who can provide remote assistance services. There are digital marketing companies willing to hire people full time to perform telemarketing activities, one of the most in-demand jobs in the market.
  2. Free time jobs: These types of jobs are ideal for those who have a stable job, but are looking to generate extra income with their free time.
    There are many part-time jobs such as copy translator, content writers, Amazon product reviewers etc.
  3. Social media: If you're looking for a job where you get paid to travel the world while having fun and trying exotic foods, this job may be right for you.
    Many influencers get paid to review the hotels they stay at or the restaurants they visit. In addition, you can earn a lot of money depending on the number of followers you have on your social networks.
  4. Travel: If you like to travel, but you are not good at using social networks, there is no problem because many travel agencies are looking for travel agents with commercial skills to sell tourist services and products. So if you master more than one language your opportunities for growth can be endless.
  5. Data Entry Jobs: This type of job is ideal for people who like reading, since many companies hire digitizers to transcribe books or documents that only exist in physical format, as well as video and audio transcriptions.
  6. Professional Gamer: If you are passionate about video games, this may be a great job for you, since a professional gamer can earn up to more than 6 million dollars a year. Even videogames companies like Fortnite have launched tournaments with prizes reaching $3 million for first place and $2 million for second place. Not bad for having fun.
  7. Working as a translator: As we mentioned before, the position of translator is in high demand and generally, they pay by number of hours, number of words translated or number of documents you have worked on. So even though you don't have a fixed income, you can still make a lot of money depending on the amount of work you do.
  8. Work as a blogger: This job is very similar to that of the influencer, but here you will focus on creating a blog on any topic: fashion, marketing, travel, cooking, video games, social networks, software, series, languages, marketing, fitness, relationships, pets, plants and their care, among others. The more traffic you have, the more money you will earn through advertising.
  9. Online teacher: This job is ideal for those people with teaching skills, since they can teach languages, cooking, art, music, videos, photography, among others. Of course, if you are specialized in any subject, you could earn a lot of money on different platforms.

How to negotiate salary during a job interview

The salary negotiation process can be stressful for both you and your potential employer. It's important to remember that if you don't ask for what you want, no one will give it to you. If you're prepared with a strong script and knowledge of what your skills are worth in the current labor market, then negotiating during an interview will be easier than ever before.

Figure out what salary you want before the interview.

The first thing you need to do is research the market value of the job, as well as your own value. Knowing what others in similar positions are earning is crucial in negotiating salary.

The second step is figuring out what you want to earn compared to other opportunities. This can be difficult because it means calculating how much money you might make by accepting another position or by staying where you are now and asking for a raise later on down the line (if possible).

Prepare your case for why you deserve more money.

The key to a successful salary negotiation is preparing a case for why you deserve more money. You can use this "why" as the basis for your negotiations, but remember that it's not the only thing that matters. Your personality, background, and fit for the company are also important factors.

Here are some questions you should ask yourself:

  • What makes me such an ideal candidate for this job?
  • What makes me a good fit for this company?
  • How do my skills and experience match up with what's required of me in terms of tasks and responsibilities? Have I done any projects similar to what they need done at their organization? If so, how did they turn out (did they increase morale or bring in revenue)?

Be prepared to compromise and negotiate.

Negotiating your salary is one of the most important things you can do during a job interview. If you're not prepared to negotiate, you'll probably end up accepting whatever figure your interviewer offers. And if it's too low, then you'll be stuck with that salary for years to come—and possibly even have difficulty finding another job in this economy.

I've met many people who were afraid to ask for more money because they thought they wouldn't get it or that their request would offend their future boss (or both). But as someone who has been on both sides of this negotiation table many times over the years, I can tell you from firsthand experience: People love when someone asks for more money! It shows confidence and initiative on your part; plus, it shows them what kind of person you are—someone who knows what he or she wants out of life and isn't afraid to go after it! In other words: Just ask! You might be surprised by how well things go when this happens...

Practice your negotiation script in front of a mirror or with friends.

Practice your negotiation script in front of a mirror or with friends. Practice, practice, and practice some more! The more you practice, the easier it will be for you to confidently deliver your pitch in an interview setting. If you can get comfortable with what you're going to say before the interview begins, then it'll be much less likely that your nerves will derail your confidence during the actual interview.

Practice with family or friends at home who are willing to help coach you through this process. If possible, find someone who's worked as a recruiter before so that they have experience interviewing people and can give helpful tips on how best to negotiate salary during an interview. If there isn't anyone available (or if they don’t know anything about salary negotiation), try looking online for videos that explain how effective negotiation works well enough that even someone who’s never negotiated before could do it successfully—and then use those videos when practicing with family members or friends who will offer feedback on whether or not what they're saying sounds natural!

Keep quiet about your current income if possible.

If you’re able to keep your current salary a secret, do it!

  • If you share your current salary with the interviewer, they will be able to determine how much they can afford to pay you. This could put them in the position of having to choose between hiring someone who is worth more than they can offer or not hiring someone who is worth more than they can offer.
  • Sharing your current salary also creates the perception that all other candidates are worth less than what they currently earn and that this person has no room for growth in their career or life experience (which may not be true).

Offer a target range, not just one number.

It's a good idea to offer a range, not just one number. After all, your minimum salary requirements may be higher than the company's minimum salary requirements are comfortable with. On the other hand, if you're asking for too much above what they're willing to pay (especially if you've been unemployed for some time), there's not much incentive for them to raise their offer at all.

So even though they might want a specific number from you and it might seem like they want the number in writing right now, don't give it up too easily! Instead:

  • Offer a target range instead of one specific number. You can say something like "I'm looking for somewhere between $50K and $60K." or "I would expect an annual salary of between $50K and $60K". This will give both parties room to negotiate without committing yourself immediately on either end of your desired salary range (which is typically going to be somewhere in the middle). It also allows them room to negotiate up or down depending on whether any other factors—like location—come into play later on.

You don't have to give away your current salary when negotiating a new offer.

The first thing you should know is that negotiating a salary is a two-way street. When you're interviewing for a job, it can be tempting to try and figure out what the company will pay you based on your current salary, but that's not always the best way to go about things. You may have been making more money at your last job than the employer of your dream would offer. That doesn't mean you should give away that information when negotiating with them!

If they tell you they want $30K per year, say something like: "That seems fair." They'll probably ask if this is too low for what you want to make; in response, just say something like: "I'm open to discussing my exact salary requirements once we've had time to review my background and experience." If they ask for details about how much money has been made in sales per year or similar metrics, tell them it's too early in the process to discuss numbers yet because there are many factors (like market conditions) which impact those figures as well as personal performance metrics such as sales quotas set by management teams within companies where employees are located geographically across various regions within North America."

Negotiating can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be if you're prepared.

Negotiating your salary isn't always an easy or enjoyable task, but it doesn't have to be as stressful as you may think. Below are some tips for negotiating your salary during a job interview that will help lower the stakes and get you closer to the salary range you deserve.

  • Practice your negotiation script. Before heading into any job interview, practice what you plan on saying about salary in front of a mirror or with a friend—the more comfortable you feel with this dialogue, the better! When practicing this script, stay away from phrases like “I want x amount of dollars per year” and instead try talking about how much money would be ideal for your situation (e.g., “I'm looking for $50k-70k/year”). Asking for too much too soon can come across as greedy or unrealistic and can make employers reluctant to negotiate further with you later on down the line.
  • Be polite but firm when declining offers during interviews if they're lowballing: "I just need a little more information before I decide." If possible, tell them what numbers would work instead so that they know where their offer falls short at first glance rather than having them guess based solely on intuition (which could lead them astray). This way there won't be any confusion around whether or not their offer is acceptable—and once again shows confidence without being demanding!

Conclusion

Remember, if you're prepared and have done your research, negotiating salary during a job interview should be easy. You don't have to jump at the first offer that comes your way. If you keep these tips in mind, you'll be able to negotiate a good salary offer from any company.

How to Disclose a Disability During a Job Search

If you have a disability, the most important thing is to find a job that fits your needs. But if you choose not to disclose your disability during the hiring process, how can you make sure you're making the right decision? There's no one-size-fits-all answer here, but there are some things to think about before making any big decisions. If you don't feel like this is something that needs to be discussed in depth with an employer, then by all means don't bring it up! However, if this information could help or hinder your chances of getting hired—or if it might affect how much money they'll offer you—then it's worth considering whether or not discussing your disability is right for your situation.

Should I disclose my disability?

[How to decide whether to disclose a disability]

When deciding whether or not to disclose a disability, it's important to consider your unique situation and the job you're applying for. If your disability is visible or obvious, then most likely it is not necessary for you to mention it in your cover letter and resume. However, if the job has any of these characteristics:

  • Is highly competitive
  • Requires special skills (e.g., fluency in two languages)
  • Is high-paying with good benefits

When should I disclose my disability?

It's important to understand that you don't have to disclose your disability at all. Some employers will ask about it, but many won't. If you're asked about it in an interview, then you should definitely disclose. But for example, if your disability is not obvious on sight and doesn't interfere with your work performance (for example, having asthma), then it's OK to wait until after you've landed the job offer before disclosing this information.

In addition, there are some good times during a job search when you should consider disclosing that you have a disability:

  • During the interview process (if they ask)
  • In your cover letter or resume
  • During the job offer process

To whom should I disclose my disability?

The answer to this question depends on the type of job you want. If you are applying for a secretarial position, it's probably not necessary to disclose your disability. However, if you are applying for a more senior role that requires interaction with managers and clients or vendors on a frequent basis, it is important that they know about your disability as soon as possible so they can make any adjustments necessary to accommodate it.

Be sure that the disclosure is made in person so there isn't any confusion about what accommodations will be needed once hired.

How should I disclose my disability?

You should disclose your disability in a straightforward and honest manner. You should be clear about what accommodations you need, what your limitations are, and why it’s important for the employer to know about them.

Okay, so now that you know how to disclose your disability during a job search—how do you do it? Here are some tips:

  • Be prepared! Know exactly what types of accommodations you need before going into an interview or meeting with someone from human resources. If possible, practice disclosing your disability so that when the time comes during an actual interview, it’ll be second nature for you to say what needs to be said without stumbling over words or feeling awkward about saying them aloud.
  • Keep it brief. Don't try too hard to explain why having ADHD is really awesome because ADHD isn't really all that great (and chances are good no one will care). Instead focus on explaining things like whether or not any specific medications affect their ability to focus/work well with others/do anything at all without making mistakes every five seconds etcetera etcetera blah blah blah blah blah...

You don't have to discuss your disability during your job search, but there are advantages if you do.

While it's up to you whether or not to disclose your disability during a job search, there are some definite advantages. For example:

  • Disclosing your disability may help you avoid discrimination. If an employer knows about a disability, they're less likely to discriminate against you because they'll know that any accommodation needed will be minimal.
  • If you disclose your disability and then get the job, it's easier for both parties if everybody knows upfront what's going on. There's no guessing games or confusion over what kinds of accommodations are needed or how they should be handled.
  • You'll have an easier time getting any necessary accommodations if the employer knows about them before hiring (even if it means just saying "I need X amount of time off" instead of having to wait until after being hired). This could mean fewer roadblocks in advancing at work once hired on full-time status - as well as more opportunities for promotion down the line!

Conclusion

If you're thinking about disclosing your disability during your job search, you've got a lot to think about. We hope this article has given you some helpful tips on how to do so effectively and ethically. Good luck!
