10 WFH Jobs To Look Out For In A Virtual Career Fair
This COVID-19 pandemic has made the world embrace a new normal way of life. Even the landscape of work has taken a radical change. The WFH jobs, also known as telecommuting, used to be reserved for freelancers like foreign language teachers, content writers, program developers, and sales reps. There is a paradigm shift that has brought up the numbers for remote work. In Jobstreet alone, one-fifth of the postings are work-from-home.
Companies inevitably adopted this change to remain afloat. As jobs transition from face-to-face to online, so did job searching and career fairs. This new trend in employment match-making is a convenient, one-stop-shop platform where candidates meet potential employers in one roof. Be ready with your online applications and virtual interviews, but first, know the ten best jobs available in the market that can be done from the comforts of your home.

Almost everyone in this field is a potential work-from-home professional with good pay to boot from web developers to software programmers and data encoders to systems analysts. Given their virtual work environment, they thrive very well remotely.
- Content Producers
This field encompasses the wide world of media and production. Writers, video editors, graphic artists, sound designers, music producers, anyone who creates content or are part of a team can comfortably do this from the confines of their home.

People in need of counseling and therapy have online meeting and chat platforms such as Zoom, Google Hangout, Viber, Whatsapp, and Messenger to thank.
