Demonstrate self-sufficiency.

Self-sufficiency is one of the hallmark traits that can help you land — and keep — a remote job. Look for instances in your personal and professional life where you’ve taken the lead on getting something done — on time, on budget, all that good stuff. Document your successes so you can recall how you took ownership and accomplished your task without a ton of external motivators. Look for opportunities in your work to be proactive and take the lead on delivering value.
