The possibility of working remotely is a reason why 85% of professionals would accept changing jobs, according to a survey by Infojobs and Grupo Top RH. Thus, home office remains a chosen modality, as it creates opportunities to work for foreign companies without leaving one’s native country, something that has boosted the careers of many professionals.
“Finding remote job openings for companies outside the country isn’t always easy, but there are several platforms that simplify the process. Before applying for a position, it’s important to have a tailored resume for the job being sought, keep LinkedIn updated in English, and study the company’s hiring process,” comments Samyra Ramos, marketing manager at Higlobe, a payment solution for freelancers and Brazilian contractors working remotely for US companies.
