What Steps Should a Job Seeker Take to Find a Flexible or Hybrid Job?
Zachary Allison, recruiting manager
[00:06]:
First thing I would recommend to anyone who wants those hybrid, flexibility or remote opportunities through their employer is to talk to their current employer first.
[00:15]:
Any good recruiter is going to ask you why you want to leave your job, and if you’ve spoken to your current employer about why you’re wanting to leave.
[00:20]:
So, if you want hybrid opportunities, talk to your boss first to see if that’s an option. If it’s not, you can always put together a proposal and say, “here are all the metrics meet and the statistics behind the value of hybrid and remote opportunities and here’s why I think my job can be done remotely.” And offer the idea of a pilot program – one day a week to see how it works.
