Working from home - JobbyServe

[russell]

Anyone know how to search for remote/home roles? When I use home keyword it bring back home counties. Current role is a long commute and not exactly mindblowingy exciting work.

what about putting location down as home.

This get asked in the forums and they seem pretty few and far between and seem to think most posters that got work like this was from contacts through exiting clients. Not something that is often farmed out to jobserve.

You could try a search to see what others said

What about putting in telecommute, home based ?

I've found setting up searches for this is quite tricky since "home" brings up "home counties" and "remote" often has technical meaning.

On JobServe I did have a filter:

(remote or home or telecommute) not ("home counties" or "sap" or "helpdesk" or "help desk")

You have to make sure you search separately in UK/EU/US though too - and you don't get too many roles coming up. It's not unheard of especially if you are a techy.

Forums for your relevant techy skills, and relevant LinkedIn groups are good to monitor for this kind of thing, since WFH gigs are often more akin to freelance work.

Thanks d000gh, good info.
