 Top Skills for Remote Jobs in 2024
Approximately 75% of professionals would take up the offer to use a
work-from-anywhere, remote working policy at work, even if it
indicated taking a pay cut (50%), upping working hours (20%), or
reducing PTO (15%), according to a recent FlexJobs survey for their
Work From Anywhere report.
The study, which surveyed more than 4,000 workers from across the United
States, noted that Millennials are the working generation that would be most
likely to sacrifice workplace benefits for location independence.
But to be able to make the case for remote work to your employer, or even to
secure a remote role at a remote-first or flexible working company, you need to
be able to demonstrate that you have the necessary skills.
Some skill sets are more in-demand within the world of remote work and digital
nomadism than others. For example, according to FlexJobs 2024 Digital Nomad
Guide to Work-From-Anywhere Careers, the following jobs were highlighted as
being the most in demand by employers, for those seeking remote jobs:

 1- Relationship building
• Relationships are at the heart of everything we do at work. But perhaps
nowhere is this more apparent than in roles which require you to collaborate
with stakeholders, make complex negotiations and agreements, or conduct
sales. Much of what we do in remote work—and the success of our projects—
revolves around the quality of the relationships and understanding we build
with colleagues, our boss, clients, employees, and partners.
 1- Relationship building
• To demonstrate your relationship and rapport-building skills to your employer,
think about using specific examples of where your relationship-building has
paid off, such as the role you played in partnerships, managing stakeholders,
or in handling complex contracts and enterprise sales. Consider using strong
action-oriented verbiage such as:
 Action-Oriented Vocabulary
• 1. Cultivated: Developed or improved through careful nurturing and
management.
• 2. Hosted: Provided the facilities or services for an event or activity.
• 3. Client retention rate: The percentage of customers who continue to use a
company's services over a given period.
 Action-Oriented Vocabulary
• 4. Customer success: Ensuring customers achieve their desired outcomes while using a
company's products or services.
• 5. Customer experience: The overall perception and feelings a customer has about their
interactions with a company.
• 6. Customer satisfaction score: A metric that measures how satisfied customers are with a
company's products, services, or experiences.
• 7. Collaborated: Worked jointly with others to achieve a common goal.
 2- Communication Skills
• To be effective at relationship-building at work, you need to be an effective
communicator. Out of the roles listed above, you might naturally think of
account executive, content writer, and editor, as being the remote jobs in
which exceptional written and oral communication skills are more integral to
success.
 2- Communication Skills
• But the other roles, such as software engineer, data analyst, and marketing manager are
also communication-heavy, as you will regularly need to be able to translate complex
technical ideas and business requirements into a product that can be used and understood
by others. Your daily work is concentrated on interpreting information and relaying it to
others in some format. Therefore, even in tech-heavy roles, soft skills such as
communication have their place.
 3. Analytical Skills
• Analytical skills are mission-critical for analyzing data, solving complex business problems,

and making well-informed decisions. Some of the jobs that would require high proficiency

in this skill more than others include data analyst, DevOps engineer, product manager, and

software engineering roles.

 4. Project Management
• Project management is a career and job on its own, but it's also a high-value skill in the

workforce, which professionals who work in management, leadership, or even marketing

and editing, would need to carry out their roles successfully and ensure well-organized

collaboration on projects.
 5. Technical Proficiency
• Every industry and every remote occupation has its own set of standard software and technology

requirements, which are integral to supporting the role in being more efficient. Think about tech stacks,

CRMs, unique software needed for project management or engineering work, etc. Ensure you have a

thorough understanding of what software is used in your industry and for your specific role.

• This is especially essential when working from home, as you will need to be confident in using remote

collaboration tools.
 6. Adaptability
• One of the core attributes employers look out for in potential hires is adaptability. It's essential to have a

flexible, positive attitude to change, whether in your industry or in your workplace, as things are moving at a

very fast pace. Adaptability is a skill that is sometimes needed more in roles such as product management

and marketing, than others.

• It also is listed in the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs skills report for 2023 as a skill on the rise over

the next few years.

 7. Leadership Skills
• You don't need to work in leadership or management to need leadership skills.

Leadership skills rank highly on employers' priorities this year as they indicate that

you take ownership and responsibility for your work, and have high levels of

emotional intelligence. This makes for a more cohesive remote work environment.
 8. Collaboration
• Along the same lines as relationship-building, collaboration is another skill that is

used frequently in the top 10 remote jobs listed by FlexJobs. Knowing how to pull

the best outcomes out of individuals, and even work together cross-functionally,

especially while doing so remotely, is a major bonus for employers.

 9. Customer-Centric Mindset
• One common theme of the top 10 remote jobs listed is that many of them share the

skill of being customer-focused. For instance, product designers and product

managers must concentrate on designing products that anticipate and meet

customer needs and requirements, and must factor in aesthetics and ease of use.
 10. Problem-Solving Skills
• Problem-solving falls on no.9 in LinkedIn's Most In-Demand Skills of 2024 report,

which lists the top 10 skills in demand by employers globally, according to analysis

of LinkedIn hiring trends and data spanning several months. Taking initiative to

come up with creative solutions is much needed in today's workforce, especially

since this is one of the rare skills that AI cannot master—at least not yet.
