How To Find a Job That Lets You Work and Travel At The Same Time

Keller Executive Search Senior Recruiter Julia Yurchak gives advice on how to land jobs that allow employees to travel and work in an article for VoM News. 

The article, “Work and Travel? Expert Shares How to Find a Job That Lets You Do Both”, includes a guide on how to achieve the digital nomad lifestyle and stand out in this competitive landscape. 

Some strategies Julia mentioned that will allow you to travel the world while pursuing a career include:

Freelancing or consulting: Travelling while you work requires some flexibility in your work schedule. Freelancing platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and Freelancer give you the ability to work on projects from anywhere in the world. 

Look for travel-specific roles: Some roles in the travel industry itself, such as travel agent or tour guide, can combine work with travel experiences. 

Target flexible companies: Apply for jobs at companies that are known for their flexible work culture and allowing their employees to work remotely.

Be honest in interviews: Inform prospective employers about your desire to travel and work so there’s no confusion down the road. 

Develop a portable skill set: Build skills that translate well into working from anywhere with an internet connection, such as graphic design, coding, digital marketing, or teaching languages online.

Find seasonal jobs: Many employers in the hospitality industry need to hire more staff during busy times of year for roles that may also require travel. 

Invest in high-quality equipment: Make sure you have reliable equipment to enable you to work from any location. This shows prospective employers that you take business seriously, and they will be more likely to trust you to work unsupervised as a result. 

Network online: Connect with like-minded individuals on online communities and forums for advice, support, and job leads. 

In addition to these strategies, Julia also remarked on the benefits of securing a remote job.
