Many people want to work remotely but quickly come to the conclusion that their job isn't conducive to remote work. But have you ever really looked to see if it is possible? Many people make the assumption that they won't be able to land a remote job, without even trying to get creative or actually putting in the effort of looking. Whether it's convincing your boss to let you work remotely or applying to remote only jobs online, it can be possible.

It's $14.95 a month but well worth it, especially if you are looking for something beyond the typical designer and developer roles.
