Working a Remote Job Part TimeA part-time remote job could look like a fully remote job that you only work on for limited hours — a an ongoing freelance gig where you ghostwrite a blog post once or twice a week, for example. This can be a good way to transition to a full-time job, or to earn a little extra money while being supported through other means.The term might also refer to a hybrid job, which workers spend a full 40 hours at, but only two or three days are spent in the physical office, leaving either two or three days left over to work from home. If that’s a fit for you, you’re in luck: Studies show that hybrid jobs have been rapidly becoming more popular — partially due to the decline in fully remote positions.Use of the term “hybrid work” in job listings has risen by 29% between 2022 and 2023, one study found. That trend is not likely to reverse any time soon, since workers are clinging to all the flexibility they can get: 51% of workers polled in one 2021 survey said they’d quit their job if the hybrid option was dropped.Ask Your Current Employer to Go RemoteYour dream remote job may just be the same one you have now if it were remote. Your employer depends on your work to keep their operation running, which is a big reason why they may be willing to accommodate your request to work fully remotely. Here’s how to approach the topic.First, put together a compelling case for why you specifically need a remote position. Think about your past successes and challenges, and how working remotely to help you: Perhaps it would make you more fulfilled, offer a better work-life balance, and leave you with more energy to do your job. You can cite statistics on remote work benefits if you’d like, but a personal, from-the-heart case will probably work best.Try suggesting a trial period first, and make sure to collect data on your productivity during the trial to prove you are just as effective at your home desk as at your office one. You can also deliver an ultimatum, letting your workplace know that you’ll have to quit if you can’t work fully remote. At worst, you may need to find another job, and you may raise your compensation at the same time as you land a position that will truly balance your work-life needs.
