Another option for those who prefer working from home is to be a commercial analyst for an expanding business operating in the consumer goods space.

Meanwhile, Defence Bank is looking for a fraud officer to work from home.

Indeed’s Australia-New Zealand managing director Chris McDonald has said that they are seeing an increase in the numbers of skilled and well-paid jobs being offered with remote work options. “From a business perspective, the willingness to offer flexible working is a powerful way to access wider pools of skilled workers – whether that’s Australia’s growing older workforce, or millennials who place greater emphasis on work-life balance than previous generations,” Business Insider Australia reports McDonald as saying.
The trend is expected to continue. This is good news for jobseekers, usually those who are new parents forced to juggle childcare with work.
Older workers also tend to prefer working home-based jobs than commuting every day. Even younger workers see work-from-home options as essential. McDonald said that some people expect to make use of technology to work whenever and wherever.
