Try Any of These Top 10 In-Demand Advisor Jobs You Can Do From Home

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to shift the way you work. One of these changes is the work-from-home setup used by more and more companies. While this is a good health protocol, it also gives you remote work benefits such as more productivity and work-life balance. It is no wonder then that almost 50% of surveyed Filipino employees are happy to work for a remote employer. In turn, work-from-home advisor jobs have also been on the rise all over the world. If you think this career is for you, then it is time to set up an advisor home office. Thanks to the internet, you do not need to go to the office to work. Communication can be done through video calls, email and chat in your comfort zone.

But setting up an advisor home office needs some thought. To make sure you are productive at home, you will need these things:

• Fast internet access 
• A computer with all the software you need
• Enough lighting, not only for you to better see your work but also for others to clearly see you during online meetings
• A comfortable desk and chair. Try an adjustable desk, which you can use whether you are sitting or standing.
• Surge protectors to shield your equipment from spikes in voltage
• Storage boxes or cabinets to for your files
• A desk calendar to help you keep track of your work. Though you can keep a work tracker in your phone or computer, a real calendar gives you a quick glimpse of duties at any time of the day.
• Desk decors that inspire you while working. These can be a vision board, photos of your loved ones, or plants.
