Fortunately, 2022 is absolutely chock-full of new career opportunities that can be pursued remotely. Here are some of the best.
Digital Marketing
So long as people are looking to sell things, there's always going to be a need for professional marketing agents. As we now live in the internet age, marketers who specialize in online platforms are going to be the only real viable candidates.
This is a type of job that excels in remote settings and if you've got some people skills, some rudimentary knowledge of how online metrics work, and have an ambitious streak, then digital marketing might be the job for you.
Customer Service Representative
Another good option for those who are socially inclined, customer service work is never in short supply and if you're particularly adept at conversing in multiple languages, particularly English, then being a representative would be the perfect job for you.
There's a great deal of flexibility when it comes to the customer service profession, as you can work on either a freelance basis or for a dedicated company, but it's likely you'll be responsible for handling requests related to email, phone conversations, and live chat sessions.
Social Media Manager
Social media outreach is the best way businesses and organizations can rein in long-term supporters and they're always on the lookout for people who can professionally manage their social media accounts.
Fortunately for you, you've probably already acquired quite a lot of experience with using social media if you've been on the internet in the past few years.
Social media management is going to be a very in-demand job going into 2022, especially since the onset of COVID-19 has made companies much more heavily invested in creating a presence in online spaces. If you're willing to be highly consistent with your work, both in terms of quality and time spent on it, then social media management is potentially a good career path for you.
Tutoring
Tutors have been in demand since the dawn of civilization, but COVID-19 has caused an absolute nightmare for people looking to pursue educational opportunities. Schools, universities, and educational programs shut down in a rather erratic fashion in response to the virus and likely will continue to do so in the future.
As such, parents and students alike looking to stay consistent with their learning are very interested in hiring tutors to help them out. If you have a substantial amount of knowledge regarding academic subjects, then becoming a tutor might be an appropriate option for you.
Transcription
Transcription primarily involves taking audio files and putting all the audible speech into a written format that can be later referenced. Transcription is important as it condenses useful information into something people can analyze easily and quickly, making it an indispensable tool for many organizations.
Transcription is both very in demand and easy to get into, so if you're lacking in the marketable skills department, then transcription is definitely something you should take a look at.
Administrative Assistant
Administrative assistants are essentially a more flexible version of secretaries. With the world becoming more internet-inclined, it's become important for many professionals to schedule digital appointments and input information into programs that form a vital foundation for their day to day work tasks. Keeping track of everything can be an extreme hassle, so many people have opted for hiring administrative assistants to help them stay on top of everything.
Finding A New Path
Abandoning a job you're familiar with and striking out on your own can be a scary prospect, but nothing should be more frightening than staying at a place where you're undervalued and not happy. 2022 is a new year and coming with it a slew of incredibly lucrative opportunities. If you're really vested in making a change, then there's no time better.
