Part Time Remote Jobs - What Are They and How to Get One

By ZipRecruiter Marketplace Research Team

Part-Time remote jobs involve telecommuting or doing freelance work in a number of fields, including journalism, copywriting, advertising, marketing, data entry, and technical fields, such as software development and web design. Some part-time remote jobs are flexible, while other work from home jobs require you to be available for a specific shift or time during the week. This may involve logging into a virtual office platform or simply submitting work online at specific times. Your duties depend on the industry in which you work, but you should have strong technical skills and reliable internet access for all jobs.

The qualifications to get a part-time remote job depend largely on the industry and your responsibilities. If you do journalism or editorial work, you need to have at least a high school diploma or GED certificate, but most employers expect a bachelor's degree and some previous experience in media. Part-time data entry, transcription, or accounts receivable jobs require strong math skills, good technical ability, and familiarity with software like Excel. Part-time remote jobs require you to have excellent time management skills and good verbal communication abilities to keep in touch with virtual clients.
