WFH: Grading Your Role on the 5 Criteria
Assessing Your Current Situation:
Now that you have a better understanding of the 5 criteria used to grade work-from-home opportunities, it's time to take a closer look at your own situation.
By grading your current role on each of the criteria, you'll be able to get a clear picture of where you stand and what steps you need to take to achieve your goal of landing a great work-from-home opportunity.
Grading Your Role on the 5 Criteria:
- Role: How well does your current role match the type of work-from-home job you're interested in? Are you in a customer-facing role or a more office-based role?
- Industry: Are you currently working in an industry that offers many work-from-home opportunities, or is it a more traditional, in-office industry?
- Company: Does your current company offer flexible work arrangements, or are they more traditional and focused on in-office work?
- Boss: Is your current boss supportive of remote work, or do they prefer in-office work?
- Team: Is your current team set up for remote work, or do they need to be in the same location to be effective?
Once you've graded your current role on each of these criteria, you'll be able to see where you stand and what you need to do to close the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.
If your score on each criterion or combined is too low, it tells you how far away you are from your goal of getting a great work-from-home opportunity.
By analyzing each of the 5 criteria, you can see where you should focus your steps and roadmap. Remember, you won't be able to make too far of a move all at once.
You'll need to take a series of steps to strategically migrate from your current role to your desired work-from-home opportunity. With a clear understanding of your starting point and a roadmap to follow, you'll be well on your way to achieving your goal.
