Landing a Remote Job in Healthcare

If you’re interested in finding a remote healthcare job, here are a few tips to help you put your best foot forward.

Be familiar with the technology.

Technology is what enables many medical jobs to be done from home. Research and read job descriptions to learn about the most common programs and software used for the job you’re seeking.

Video platforms, complex databases, and communication tools are likely used in many positions. List out any programs you are familiar with in your resume and cover letter. And if you lack solid experience with any of the technology, discuss your ability to adeptly learn new programs and tech.

Play up your remote work skills.

While not every remote employer will require you to have remote work experience, showcasing any experience you do have will be a tremendous help.

Notate on your resume any jobs or duties/tasks that were performed remotely. Expand on these in your cover letter. Discuss your remote work skills as well, such as your ability to work independently, your tech savviness, your excellent communication skills, and your tactics for staying on task.

Focus on the right companies.

This list of top companies for flexible medical and health jobs is a perfect place to start your search. Focus on companies that are known to offer flexible and remote jobs. You can also scan company websites for mentions of “flexible work programs,” “work-life balance,” and “distributed teams.”

FlexJobs can start you on the right path to finding a remote healthcare job. Browse our listings for legitimate open roles.
