In what spells more bad news for avid advocates of remote work, telecom giant AT&T has joined other high-profile RTO enforcers such as Amazon in mandating a five-days-a-week return to the office, starting January. Employers such as Amazon are not backing down despite the pushback, and even President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to fire federal workers who do not return to the office under his administration, setting aside the current remote jobs provision for government workers, USA Today reported.

Here are some top tips to use when searching for remote work, as you resume or commence your job search in the new year:

Tailor your resume for remote jobs. Always ensure you highlight any work-from-home experience you had in your employment history, and provide examples of how you collaborated with your team while spanning multiple time zones and continents. Focus on demonstrating your communication and teamwork skills, and also speak to your technical skills as far as virtual collaboration and project management tools are concerned.

Leverage remote job boards such as We Work Remotely, FlexJobs, and AngelList. In addition to remote-specific job boards, you can use the remote work or work location filters that are on regular job boards such as LinkedIn.

Don’t forget that there is is power in networking as well. Even Slack groups and Reddit communities/forums can be helpful places to find remote jobs or to at least find out about new companies that might be hiring or open to providing remote work opportunities.

Finally, when looking for a remote job, exercise due diligence. Be cautious and wary of job postings that appear too good to be true. If the offer looks unrealistically too good, it most likely is. There are many scammers online who are capitalizing and preying on the high demand for remote work, so you should be extra vigilant for your online safety. Some red flags to look out for include:

• Asking for upfront payment or provision of bank details
• Promising an unrealistically high salary that is way out of the industry standard
• Lack of detailed job specs
• Vague company information that cannot be found elsewhere on the internet
