Here’s how to find a remote, entry-level job, according to Coursera:
- Visit a job posting site. Many companies advertise remote positions on job platforms such as Remote.co or FlexJobs in order to reach a wide range of potential applicants.
- Search. Search the term “entry-level remote” or “entry-level remote [name of position]” in the platform of your choice. For example, if you were looking for an entry-level IT job, you would search for “entry-level remote IT.”
- Match and apply. Browse the job list, identify the listings that best match your aspirations, and apply to them.
