“Now some of the major job search sites have added a remote filtering functionality, so you can look on LinkedIn for your specific type of role you’re searching for a filter by remote jobs,” Lynee Alves, president of Interview Like An Expert, said.
In the drop down menu for location on LinkedIn, there’s now a “remote” selection. When we clicked on it, more than 11,000 jobs popped up for account executive. there’s the same kind of search on Indeed.com.
