Professional Etiquette for Remote Work

By


Post pandemic remote jobs have become more available. As we all know, they’re very unlike jobs that require in person office work so remote jobs certainly have their own set of rules and etiquette that we should comply to.

1.      Effective communication is key. Send emails if its work related and if you need to schedule a virtual meet or speak of important matters pertaining to work.

2.      Be on time! Meetings and conferences are frequently held. It’s important to be on time but it is honestly best to even be EARLY.

3.      During these meetings try to keep your video on and on mute and try to add value to the discussion when needed.

4.      Dress Professionally: Most meetings will take place on video calls. You should be prepared and dress professionally.

5.      Make sure that you have a space that is quiet and work friendly with a minimal background for little distractions.

6.      Be mindful about messaging coworkers and managers within office hours regarding work. Nobody wants to think about work after hours or during their off time.

7.      Discipline: Because there is no one on top of you to get your work done, it is important that you learn discipline and focus when there are deadlines and work that needs to get done. Preferably, complete your work within the hours of your workday.

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

By
So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear.  If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional. When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
