The governments response to the coronavirus, or Covid-19 , has raised renewed interest in work from home opportunities.

People have been reaching out requesting help with resumes targeting these types of roles. As important as a strong resume is they are also inquiring on what industries to target.

A great resource for finding remote work is FlexJobs. Here are a few industries and roles to help you out:

1) Technology has brought therapy sessions from taking place in a quiet room in an office building, to the comfort of, well, just about anywhere. And with that, more companies are being created in the medical and health fields, as well as philanthropy, education, and pharmaceuticals, and need remote speech pathologists, marriage therapists, and counselors.

2) Many companies need around the clock support for global operations and short-term growth projects. The best part? These customer service, accounting, scheduling, and support tasks don’t need to be done in office, meaning many of them are able to be done at home.

3) Another type of job that’s been transferred from office to couch? Those in client services. A combination of sales management and customer service, these jobs are there to take care of customer’s problems and represent the company when the need arises. Look for job listings as account representatives, client managers, or customer care agents.

5) Remember when you had to shuffle your way to the library after school or early in the morning on weekends for ACT prep? Well, times have changed, and those studying for an exam don’t even need to leave the comfort of their bed. Tutoring positions like prep instructors, ESL teacher, or academic support coaches help a wide variety of ages and many different subject areas.
