Job of My Dreams

Job of My Dreams

You can work and relax where you want!

Had a quarrel with the boss, had lunch in the staff canteen. Stood in traffic for an hour and a half, returned home. Not everyone can come to terms with such a rhythm of life. It stresses and depresses. Living in an unwanted place and at the same time working a standard job is the bitterest punishment one can imagine. But what to do?! S’est la vie. If only one could settle where one wants, then one could avoid going to the detested office. But how to decide to move if you can't find work THERE?!

So it turns out to be a kind of vicious circle, which, however, can be broken. There is a way! Remote work is capturing ever wider territories, gradually driving out the concept of the office worker. For now, most people working on this schedule are creative types. But who knows how the setup of remote work will unfold in the near future… By the way, we are not talking about one-off freelance orders, but about permanent cooperation.

There are examples of companies in Russia that officially register employees in compliance with all KZOT rules, but do not force them to come to the office. Naturally, if a worker prioritizes online games, then no one will keep him on staff. Therefore, anyone who finds such a unique job must be very savvy in managing their own time. Gone are the days when attendance was the main thing: came at eight – good job, 15 minutes late – here's your fine.

Now qualitative indicators come first: did the job well – get a bonus, did the job poorly – get your work book back. And if employers have already adjusted to the new wave, many workers continue to operate on the old scheme, not understanding that the main thing in work is not the number of hours spent in the office, but the work done and its final result. If you try hard, put in a lot of effort and time, you can find a company that will be ready to hire you without mandatory attendance. Having become the owner of an enviable work schedule, you can safely move to where you want to live.

For example, on the ocean shore or in the mountains of France. The main thing is to manage to fulfill your job duties, to be able to plan your time. Online games, beer, and the beach are, of course, great, but only if all that does not interfere with the calm performance of your job duties. Having acquired such a job, you will not have to worry about possible failures in finding work in a new country. By retaining your position in an office in your home country, you can perfectly perform your job duties via the Internet.

There is no need to elaborate that such an approach is ideal for journalists, photographers, designers, programmers, and many other people for whom freelancing is suitable. However, the list of possible positions is not limited to this: via the Internet, you can sign documents, conclude contracts, conduct negotiations… By the way, do not think that after moving to faraway lands you will never see your direct management in your life. They can call you on the carpet via Skype, reprimand and scold you by phone, and email can easily be used to send reprimands and work schedules. Living in a favorite place and working in comfortable conditions is possible and necessary!
