Welcome to our “Work From Home Q&A” series. You ask a question about remote work, and a guest expert answers it.

You can learn how to ask a question of your own below.

This week’s question comes from Nancy:

“Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved helping people. It feels good when you make a difference in someone’s life. So, are there any meaningful work-from-home jobs that involve helping others?”

Helping professions

Yes! In fact, some of the fields with the most remote job opportunities are in the helping professions — like education and training, medical and health, and nonprofit and philanthropy.

Helping professions like teaching, tutoring, nursing, social work, case management, nonprofit program management and similar career fields have long offered remote work opportunities.

And at FlexJobs, we’re also seeing remote jobs in surprising roles that help people, especially since the coronavirus pandemic began but also more broadly.

Recently, for example, we have had listings for a Virtual Camp Counselor, Social Support Coordinator for COVID-19, School Safety and Security Content Expert, Worker Justice Digital Organizer, Emotional Support Rep for an abuse hotline, and School Social Worker.

Another option to consider is remote volunteering. There are more remote volunteer opportunities than ever. VolunteerMatch.org is a trusted site for finding volunteer opportunities, and they offer the ability to find openings that can be done completely from home.

a man using a laptop: This story originally appeared on FlexJobs.com. Job seekers are often told that who you know is important when trying to land a job. And while that saying is true, who you know — your professional network — can do much more than help you find a job. Your network can also help you with many aspects of personal and professional development. Building a professional network can seem like a tough task. Whom should you approach? Well, the fact is, you should include all kinds of people in your network. People from your past and present, as well as colleagues and people outside of your profession, are all great ideas. Adding all of them to your professional network is important, because you never know who can help you (and who you can help) in your professional journey. It's not the usual blah, blah, blah.
