Working from home—during the pandemic you’ve either loved or hated it, but with a post-pandemic return to in-person work approaching, is going back to the office stressing you out?
Over the last year, you may have gotten used to the freedoms that come with working from home. But, as more businesses return to normal, that’s going away. For many, it’s back to hellish commutes and a life that seems to revolve around the rigidity of a fixed schedule and getting to and from work. Your personal life has to fit around all that.
Are you dreading going back? If so, perhaps it’s time to take the leap, and make remote work permanent. But how do you make that a reality?
Traditional work might be gearing back up, but the pandemic has made a permanent impact on how businesses view remote work. There are tons of remote working opportunities with companies who prefer, and are sticking with, the new working model.
Remote Work Is Legitimate (And Here To Stay)
Studies have shown that people who work from home are often more productive than those at the office. Many remote workers have less distractions, or are motivated by their home surroundings. On top of that, virtual work benefits are real, and they include happier people who stick with their jobs longer.
If that’s not enough proof, just look at the numbers.
Disney+ just blew away all predicted growth, reaching 100 million subscribers in 16 months. How did they get there? With most of their employees working remotely.
Ignore people who tell you that remote work is going away. It isn’t. It didn’t just spring up during the pandemic. It has been on a steady growth path for years. The pandemic simply kicked that growth into high gear.
Virtual work is now a viable long-term career path.
We know, because we’ve been doing it for nine years with hundreds of employees and thousands of clients from growing small companies to giants like Google, Facebook, Apple, and more.
It’s a solid career with maximum flexibility that definitely beats a daily commute! And the path to getting there isn’t complicated at all.

What Does A Remote Executive Assistant Job Look Like?
Those are strong selling points, to be sure, but you’re probably wondering what it looks like in reality. What does a typical executive assistant’s job look like? What’s the day-to-day experience?
- Challenging opportunities. For starters, the opportunities you’ll have will cross a number of skill sets, from executive administration to project management, and everything in between. As Boldly’s clients are typically growing businesses they are looking for team members that can learn new things and take on responsibility. Boredom is a thing of the past.
- Personalized schedule. In conjunction with the clients you work with, you’ll be able to work out the times of the day you’ll devote to them. That means flexibility on setting up how you will structure your day. Your personal life no longer has to take a backseat to your work because we understand your life and family are important.
- Meaningful work. Every day is going to be an opportunity to learn. You’ll be exposed to clients who need things from you that you might not have had to deliver in your previous 9-to-5 job. That’s not a scary thing, but an exciting challenge. Figuring out how to solve these challenges makes work meaningful.
- No more monotony. It’s easy to find work monotonous when everyday is the same thing, over and over. That’s how most jobs are essentially structured. But because you’ll have different clients, you’re going to be exposed to fascinating work of all kinds.
- Part of a team. The downside to working remotely can be sometimes feeling isolated or alone. But one thing you won’t be missing out on at Boldly is culture and community. That’s important to our team, and we make sure you’re connected and feel part of it.
Joining the Boldly team is a great move that’s not only going to give you the advantages of flexible remote work that you’re looking for, but also improve your skills and experience. Best of all, it’ll give your life a breath of freedom. No longer do you have to fit your personal life into the few hours you have at home. You can fit your work into your life.
Are you ready to start working with the best team and the best clients, in the at-home environment you’ve grown to prefer? You can get started now, and make the best career change yet.
