Working Remotely Across Borders: What You Need to Know
By: The Look Jobs Team
Working from home for a company in another country is no longer rare. For bilingual professionals, it's one of the best ways to grow a career without relocating.
How it works
- Type of contract: many international remote roles hire contractors rather than employees. Make sure you understand the arrangement before you accept.
- Payment: usually through international payment platforms. Check the fees and how that income is taxed where you live.
- Time zones: agree from day one on the hours you need to be available.
What employers look for
- Clear written communication, especially in the company's language.
- Self-motivation and good organization.
- A reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.
Tip
When you apply, state in your profile that you're open to remote work and which hours you can cover.
For employers, remote hiring through Look Jobs, the trilingual job site, gives access to bilingual talent in the U.S., Brazil and Mexico. Browse jobs or post a job.
