  11. Research Remote Work Tools:

  12. Demonstrate Your Experience:

    • During interviews, provide specific examples of how your experience and skills can benefit the company's remote work setup, such as ensuring high-quality work in a remote QA/testing environment.

  13. Consider Time Zones:

    • Be mindful of time zone differences if you're applying for positions with remote teams around the world. Highlight your flexibility and adaptability to different time zones.

  14. Negotiate Compensation:

    • When discussing compensation, consider the cost of living in your area, but also be prepared to discuss compensation structures for remote roles.
