Interview with Remote Rise, Cofounder, Delaney Thompson

Now, let’s dive into the founders’ journey and glean insights into the genesis of Remote Rise and the unparalleled advantages of remote work from one of the minds behind this exciting and innovative platform.

Q. What led your group to create this site?

A. With my co-founder and I working remotely, we have talked with many people who have wondered how they can also work remotely. After talking to peers and friends who want to work remotely, we found that the general consensus was that it’s overwhelming to start. A lot of people are unaware that a lot of remote careers even exist, and it can be completely overwhelming to try to navigate on your own. The idea behind Remote Rise is to provide the same community, support, and resources we would as if we were supporting a friend in their job search. In our case, we are lucky to support over 1,000 people and counting at this stage!

Q. What are the most significant benefits of working from home?

A. Being able to work from home and remotely is one of the greatest things that has happened to me. The work-life balance cannot be matched by spending multiple hours of the day in an office and commuting to and from that office. We both travel and work from other places and countries and are able to connect with other like-minded people along the way. For people who want families, working from home is also a great option to be able to spend more time with your kids and not spend most of your day away from home. Eliminating the daily commute saves time and money and reduces stress associated with traffic or public transportation delays. The biggest and most important aspect is flexibility. Remote work allows employees to have more control over their schedules. They can often choose when and where to work, leading to better work-life balance.

Q. Do you have any tips for someone looking for legit remote positions, given the number of scammers out there?

A. When searching for legitimate remote positions, research companies and check their LinkedIn pages thoroughly to ensure their legitimacy. Look into their history, mission, and reviews from current or former employees. Stick to reputable job boards and resources. Be cautious of red flags such as high salaries for minimal work or upfront payments in job postings. Verify a company’s contact information, including a professional website and physical address. Beware of unsolicited job offers, especially if they seem too good to be true. Look for signs of remote-friendly policies, such as flexible work hours and remote team members. This portion isn’t related to scammers, but when searching for remote positions, there aren’t physical location barriers that bring many more applicants than your typical job in your current city. In this case, networking and building connections are the keys to getting your resume in front of others. This is part of the motivation behind Remote Rise, getting hard-working and deserving people connected with the right people.
