The FlexJobs Podcast: Career Advice & Job Search Tips

There can be a plethora of reasons for having no work experience. Maybe you just graduated. Perhaps you never entered the workforce because you got married and had children, and worked as a stay-at-home parent. Maybe you spent years taking care of a loved one at home.

Whatever the case, there are remote jobs out there that don’t require a ton of experience and could be a great fit for you. Making money from home doesn’t always mean you need a degree or years of experience.

When you have no work experience, it’s important to focus on your transferable skills—skills you can transfer easily one job or area of life to the next. Consider these common transferable skills you may have gained that you could use in a future remote job to make money at home:

• Budgeting/money skills if you handled your family’s finances
• Project managements skills if you oversaw school, family, or volunteer projects and schedules
• Leadership skills if you’ve ever lead a project or person (think school projects or volunteer opportunities)
• Communication skills if you have public speaking skills, are a great writer, lead any groups, etc.

FlexJobs features lots of jobs to help you make money online from home (We’ve been helping people work from home since 2007). In this episode, we'll cover 10 remote jobs that don't require any experience.

Even before COVID-19, working from home was becoming increasingly common. In 2018, 3.6% of U.S. workers worked remotely half time or more, and remote work as a whole had grown more than 159% since 2005.

During the pandemic, though, a whopping 51% of employed Americans transitioned to working from home. And now, more people are working remotely than ever before.

Despite the growth of remote work, the coronavirus has taken a considerable toll on the job market. With millions of Americans unemployed and the future of unemployment benefits uncertain, many out-of-work job seekers are looking for remote jobs that can weather the storm during challenging times.

While a large variety of remote jobs exist in practically any career field imaginable, some jobs and industries are more common for remote work than others. To help job seekers better understand the remote job market, FlexJobs has identified the 20 most common work-from-home job titles based on an analysis of our jobs database.
About the Work-From-Home Job Titles on This List
Our research team spends roughly 100 combined hours every day searching for, screening, and posting remote and flexible job opportunities to the FlexJobs site. We analyzed the job titles for remote jobs in our database to identify 20 job titles most often associated with various remote work options, which include 100% (all the time) at-home work, partial remote work, or the option to work remotely.

The job titles below also link to postings classified as, “remote—during pandemic.” We’re including these so job seekers can see what kinds of remote jobs are available both during the pandemic and beyond.

In Step 6 of the "Mastering Your Job Search" series, we emphasize the crucial importance of having someone review your application materials before submitting them for different roles. After investing significant time in preparing your application, it's easy to overlook errors that could potentially eliminate you from the candidate pool. Typos, poor grammar, inaccurate information, confusing wording, and other common mistakes can quickly undo all your hard work.
To avoid these pitfalls, seeking the assistance of a trusted individual becomes a vital step in the job-search process. Someone with a keen eye for detail and an understanding of the job application process can provide valuable feedback and identify areas that may be confusing or incorrect. Since we can become too close to our own work, having a second set of eyes can help ensure you portray yourself accurately, effectively, and professionally.
Remember, having someone review your documents is a precautionary measure that can significantly enhance your chances of success. Take advantage of expert reviews and valuable insights to elevate your application and stand out as a strong candidate in the competitive job market.
