Why Some Remote Jobs are Location-Specific

Why Some Remote Jobs are Location-Specific The idea of working from anywhere at anytime is proving to be popular not just by employees, but by employers too. FlexJobs has identified the top 15 states where companies recruited the most state-based telecommuters in 2016. Youre probably not surprised to learn that California, Texas, and New York boasted the highest number of telecommuting job postings, other states like Minnesota, Georgia, and Colorado also  made the list. But if a job is advertised with the opportunity to work remotely, then why is there often a requirement to offer work in a specific state? It kind of sounds ironic that you would have to be based in a specific location in order to work remotely. But  Brie Reynolds, Senior Career Specialist at Flexjobs  shares 4 benefits of offering location-specific jobs: 1. Area-specific talent If employers need talent in certain areas of the country, they can advertise their telecommuting job postings directly to residents in those locations to find the talent they need, in the place where they need them.  Some employers hire people to live in certain areas of the country so they can conduct work-related travel within that region. Location-specific telecommuting jobs provide a number of benefits to the employers that offer them. 2. Expand into new territories Location-specific telecommuting jobs can help employers expand their business into new territories without having to set offices in a new location. 3. Close to company HQ If they want to hire people to work remotely, but they want them to be close to the companys existing physical offices to come in for meetings, they can target applicants in those locations. 4. Beating the competition While its useful for jobseekers to know which states are offering the most remote-working opportunities, it can also help employers. A list like this may help to show them where the competition for telecommuting workers is within the U.S. If those 15 states have the highest number of telecommuting job listings being posted for their residents, and the job market is improving, employers will need to compete even more for top talent. However, if its possible for an employer to post their jobs in other states outside of this list of popular telecommuting states, they may find an eager population of professionals looking for telecommuting work, without as many job postings coming from other employers. But before considering offering flexible working opportunities to your staff, there are number of things the employer has to consider and most of this will be dependent on the jobs location. The most common reasons for location requirements on telecommuting jobs, according to employers, are: Legal  Companies can be legally bound to where they are allowed to conduct business due to licensing requirements or state and/or federal regulations, which in turn will determine the required locations for their employees. Licensing Jobs requiring certain certifications such as teaching or nursing will probably be location specific because the services provided require a licensed professional within a certain area. For example, remote nurses and attorneys may require specific state-issued licenses or certifications. Tax considerations Similar to the legal justification for location based work, some companies only perform business in specific locations due to the taxes paid or collected on goods and services. Companies may only be registered as employers in certain states, limiting their ability to hire to those states. Client-base Remote business development managers may be hired to work in a region of the country where their current or future clients are based.  While most duties can be completed from a home office, some client interaction may be required for project updates, technical support, or just to maintain the relationship. Remote working  jobs are often associated with the freedom to enable your employees to work from anywhere. However, while telecommuting jobs in general do offer significantly more autonomy over the location of where work is performed, for a variety of reasons the vast majority of remote working  jobs do include a geographic requirement. It might be worth considering this before setting up your remote workers in a specific city, state, region, or country.

How to Know When You Are Settling

How to Know When You Are Settling Well ladies, another one bit the dust for me over here in Datingland. Im back to this blog post (and following it quite well Im proud to say). But truthfully, it was hard to let this one go. He was great. Really, a stand-up kind of guy. But he just wasnt for me. While I know this guy would have been a wonderful partner and we probably would have gone down the road just as merry as can be, he wasnt right. And at this point in my life (which is the point between 13 and 100), Im not about to settle for sort of /kind of /partially right. My mind goes back to this conversation, when we discussed being in a mediocre relationship and how you get there. Being single is scary. But NOT as scary as the thought of ending up with the wrong person. WE ARE YOUNG. We have time. Lets wait for that person. So Ive made up some questions to help me (in the future), and you (now/later/whenever), know if you are settling with your relationship. What is special about your guy?   Why does your partner do to make you happy?   How do you/ your partner show your love? Do you have the same life goals? Do you both have dreams together and separate?   Do you and your partner share/appreciate the same life values?   Do you agree with/ appreciate your boyfriends view on the world?   Does your boyfriend make you feel like the most wonderful girl in the world?   Do you feel like you negotiate your feelings/opinions often?   Do you feel like the best version of yourself when you are with your boyfriend?   When you think of where you want to be in 20 years, do you see your partner wanting to be in the same place?   Now, I know not all of these questions might not apply to you. They didnt all apply to me. Some of these questions you dont  need  to be  answered positively, but they are all good to think about.   If you dont have answers to the above questions, if your answers  are only surface-deep, or if you can only think of negative answers, you might be settling. Think about yourself. Who you are now. Who you want to be. Where you want to go. Then think about who you are with. Will they be with you for the ride? If you dont know, dont settle.   So what do you think? Do you think the above are valid questions to help avoid settling? Do any of these speak to you? Or do you think Im  feeding you total  bull? Or might you have other questions to pose? Let me know what you think! Lets talk. Happy Thursday yall!

Theres never anything for us at careers fairs. Actually, there might well be and we dont just mean free pens.

There’s never anything for us at careers fairs’. Actually, there might well be â€" and we don’t just mean free pens. ‘Can I have a free pen?’ is the number 1 most annoying question employers are asked at University of Warwick careers fairs. We know because, after the careers fair on May 8th, we asked them. Now don’t misunderstand me I love a free pen as much as the next person who loves a free pen. In fact to confess, I have a container on my desk at home stuffed full of free pens from careers fairs; I can’t get enough of them. But this is not an article about a Senior Career Consultant’s dubious attitude to free pens Theres nothing here Believe it or not, there are students (a minority) who will wander out of careers fairs with nice free pens and pretty colourful notebooks and little packets of sweets and a whole lot of other stuff that they didn’t even know they needed before they arrived, muttering ‘there’s never anything for us’, but who haven’t got as far as actually talking to an employer. Sometimes, I’m sorry to say, Student Careers and Skills hears the same lament from students who haven’t actually got as far as coming through the careers fair door, or even checking which organisations are going to turn up. They will also still be paying for their pens, the crazy profligate big spenders! I sympathise At Warwicks most recent careers fair I had the pleasure of talking to employers who were genuinely friendly and enthusiastic about what they were doing. They were of course in a very strong position to talk about what skills and interests an individual would need to thrive in the workplace. But to tell the truth, I do have some sympathy with students who suspect there’s nothing for them. If you aren’t interested in law or finance or consultancy, there are a lot of stands which you won’t want to visit. A few stands at the summer fair just wanted mathematicians or computer science students â€" which is wonderful news, but only if you’re a mathematician or computer science student. But nobody is suggesting that you ought to visit any particular stand, if you don’t want to.  In just an hour visiting some of the stands, I found the following gems. None of these opportunities were in large corporate organisations and none of them were restricted to specific subjects. A publishing organisation offering internships, subject discipline not specified. A small and growing local recruitment firm looking for staff to expand the business (helping organisations in the care industry to find top managers). I also spoke  to a second firm also working in recruitment, looking for people to work across a wide range of sectors. It struck me that if you like the combination of building up effective working relationships with people whilst also being motivated by targets and commission, recruitment might suit you well. Subject discipline not specified. Two care companies. They were mainly focused on offering care work which could fit around studies (which is a very useful thing to know about!), but also clear about what they can offer in terms of relevant experience for a wide range of subsequent related roles, including finding permanent work in the same area of work after graduation. Subject discipline not specified. An organisation offering volunteering abroad opportunities. Subject discipline not… â€" oh, you get my point. Teach First is not the only organisation offering school-based teacher training in challenging schools. Teach First were there; so was another school-based teacher training organisation working in over 100 schools. There are some subject restrictions here, but good ‘A’ levels in a curriculum subject may be enough to get you in even if your degree subject is rarely or never taught in schools. An expanding IT organisation. Of course they were looking for computer science graduates. But they had customer communication roles and project management roles which were open to students from any discipline. Why its so important to prepare for a careers fair   So next time you see a careers fair advertised and someone says ‘There’s nothing for us’, you have permission from Student Careers and Skills to waggle your finger crossly at them and advise them what to do instead (though we can’t guarantee they will like you for it). Find out which organisations will be there. Find out something about them before you come. Incidentally, the employers’ second least favourite question is ‘So what do you do?’ They prefer students to have done their homework â€" imagine how much you will gain from a conversation if you can start by saying ‘I’m glad that you’re here since I notice you need people who can [insert relevant experience, area of the world you know, language you speak, etc.]. I wonder whether you could tell me more about it?’ And yes, some employers do note down the names of students with whom they have particularly enjoyed talking, which means that if you do decide to apply they will have a record of their positive interaction with you and it will be seen as a another point in favour of inviting you to interview. Employers have come, and will keep coming, to Warwick because they know that they will have interesting conversations with enthusiastic, well-informed and motivated students. Be one of them! After that, they might even be pleased to let you have that free pen.

What is the Most Overlooked Aspect of the Job Hunt

What is the Most Overlooked Aspect of the Job Hunt Take a moment to think about how your job search has been going. Do you have difficulty finding the right copy of your resume to attach to an application? Are you forgetting to follow up on an application? Did you send your thank you letter three days late? Or do you simply feel like you have no idea about the status of your applications? If you’re answering yes to these questions, then you should take steps to get your job search organized. Here’s why this is crucial to finding a new job. Research is a breeze: Job seekers often forget that researching companies is the most important starting point to their job search. Cultural fit is crucial to both sides of the equation, and poor fit can cost a lot of time and money. The easiest way to avoid making this mistake is to do your research before you hit apply. Finding blog posts, news articles, social media mentions, and reviews of companies is easier than ever, but the more research you do, the more vulnerable you are to getting disorganized. Having an easily searchable, categorized system to easily store your notes, articles, and other info is key to keeping your research organized. It helps you determine which companies to apply to, what to say to them in a cover letter, and how to approach them in an interview. It also helps you develop a profile of the types of jobs and the types of companies that you’d be interested in working for, and will make the search for new openings easier and faster. Know where you’ve applied: When you forget where you’ve applied, what cover letter you used, or if you’ve applied to more than one job posting at one employer, you open yourself up to a ton of potential mistakes. You might refer to something you thought was in the cover letter you  sent, or by applying to too many varying job postings, show a company that you lack focus. Avoiding these mistakes is easy if you take the time to keep track of your applications. When your application history is clear and easily available, you’ll find yourself making fewer of these silly mistakes that will continue to plague many other disorganized job seekers. Know what to do next: Keeping track of your applications also helps you know what’s next in the process. Hitting apply on a job listing should never be the last thing you do. By not following up diligently, you’re crippling your own chances at landing an interview. If you’re late to an interview or forget to send a thank you note on time, you may leave a bad impression with the company. Any of these mistakes can irreparably hurt your chances at getting hired. Taking the extra effort to stay organized allows for a proactive job search, where you can do more than sit back and put your fate in the hands of a recruiter or hiring manager to judge you in your moments of weakness. Impress the interviewer: An organized job seeker should have notes, articles, and contact information properly stored, easily searchable, and categorized by company. Easy access to this information makes interview preparation a breeze. Your notes should include the pain points of the team and hiring manager, so use those to your advantage and address how you will positively impact the company on day one. You should be able to reference certain ideas that the interviewer may find interesting, all found while researching them online and on social media. You should also have a clear image of the company’s culture, which will allow you to make a strong case for why you’re a strong match for each other. The end result will impress you: Properly organized, your job search will become a breeze. Tailoring your resume and cover letter will be faster and more effective, allowing you to send the most impressive applications. You’ll no longer be frustrated by missed deadlines and forgotten details. Interviewing will be a lot easier as you have better conversations with interviewers and show them you have honest motivation to get started and join their team. Few can truly claim they are professional job seekers (career coaches, resume writers, etc…), but everyone can take a few simple steps to be the best job seeker they can be. Staying organized is the first step you can take towards this goal, and it only requires the amount of time and effort it takes to set up a process for yourself. And most importantly, it’s the first (and easiest!) thing you can do to stay a step ahead of the competition.
