UnitedHealth Group, Twilio, and CVS Health among companies offering ample work-from-home job opportunities
Millions of U.S. workers have quit over the past few months, with many looking for jobs offering more flexibility and remote work options. In fact, a recent FlexJobs survey found 44 percent said they know at least one person that has quit or is planning to quit because their employers are requiring them to return to the office. Additionally, 29 percent are actively job searching because they want to work remotely, and 17 percent have actually quit a job because they wanted remote work options.
To help job seekers interested in finding jobs that they can do completely from home, FlexJobs has identified the top 30 companies with the most number of fully remote job listings so far this year. This list is based on an analysis of over 57,000 companies and their 100% remote job posting histories in the FlexJobs database between January 1, 2021, and August 31, 2021. These jobs do not require any time in the office.

1. State it clearly. List “Remote Work” next to your job title. For example, Director of Marketing (75% Remote Work)
2. Include it in the descriptions of your past jobs or experience.
- For example, “Led a team of five customer service reps in a completely remote work environment during the pandemic, and successfully earned an average team satisfaction rating of 94%.”
- If you earned a degree or certification online, volunteered on a project where you did most of the work from home, worked at a distance from your coworkers across time zones, or even just worked from home even occasionally, include this remote work experience explicitly.
3. Build it into your skills section. Discuss the types of skills it takes to be a successful remote worker. Time and task management, communication, self-management, the ability to work independently, and comfort with technology are some of the top skills employers like to see when hiring for remote jobs.
