If you’re looking to land a WFH job, rewrite your resume to highlight previous experience with remote work and managing remote teams.
Two forces in the job market are creating the perfect storm for IT professionals: the growth of cryptocurrency companies and the desire to find a fully remote job. Some crypto companies are fully remote and have always operated that way. Other leaders have recognized that not offering a remote work option will limit the talent pool significantly. A scan of open jobs with these firms shows that remote work is always an option. If you are one of the many professionals who wants to keep working from home, it’s worth looking at job openings at crypto companies.
Whether you’re a developer, a project manager or a tech recruiter, there are lots of options for finding a new job. Before you start applying, the first step is to revamp your resume. Brie Reynolds, career development manager and coach at FlexJobs, recommends highlighting remote work experience in these three ways:
- List “remote work” next to job titles, such as “Director of marketing (100% remote work).”
- Include it in the descriptions of past jobs: “Led a team of five customer service reps in a completely remote work environment, and earned an average team satisfaction rating of 94%.”
- Build it into the skills section.

“Time and task management, communication, self-management, the ability to work independently and comfort with technology are some of the top skills employers like to see when hiring for remote jobs,” she said.
Reynolds also suggests sending a thank you note after all interviews and following up with the hiring manager after the application window closes.
“Overall, a good rule of thumb for application follow-up is one to two weeks after applying,” she said.
Reynolds recommends rereading the job posting to confirm the details about the post before contacting the employer.
“It may even say specifically on the job posting not to call or email after you apply,” she said. “If you follow up anyway, the employer may think you didn’t read the posting or you can’t follow directions.”
Now that you’ve got a refreshed resume and a post-interview follow-up plan, take a look at these remote jobs in the cryptocurrency sector.
