13 Remote Job Interview Questions to Prepare For

The FlexJobs Podcast: Career Advice & Job Search Tips

If you are a relative newcomer to the world of remote work, you might be wondering what types of work-from-home interview questions to expect.

Fortunately, we’ve got you covered on some common interview questions for remote jobs and ways to answer them.
We're covering 13 questions including:
1. Do you have previous experience working from home?
2. Why do you want to work remotely?
3. Tell me about your favorite/least favorite job.
4. What does your home office look like?
5. How do you/would you minimize distractions when you work from home?
6. Why do you want to work for our company?
7. How do you schedule/prioritize/stay motivated?
8. What do you like best/least about working from home?
9. How will you coordinate and communicate with your coworkers to ensure the work gets done efficiently?
10. What does your ideal day look like?
11. How do you like to work? Do you need a lot of direction?
12. Give me an example of a project in which you were involved from beginning to end.
13. Are you comfortable with not being around people all the time?

Preparing for a remote interview is, in many ways, no different than preparing for an in-person interview. Just like you would prepare answers to commonly asked interview questions, you can prepare answers for work-from-home interview questions, too, and ace the interview.

Sometimes, though, a little extra help is in order. Consider meeting with one of our career coaches. They can help you prepare answers to remote job interview questions so you can stand out from the rest of the pack!
