It can be difficult to make an impression on your coworkers if you work virtually. When you’re not seeing your boss in organic settings, it might be harder to strike up a conversation with them. Here are tips on how to impress your boss if you work remotely, according to the website FlexJobs. 

Check In Regularly 

Whether it is via e-mail, chat, or FaceTime it’s essential to check in with your boss to see if you’re on the same page.  

FaceTime 

It makes a major difference when you get to chat with your boss face-to-face. Video chats allow you to connect with your boss and get to know each other.  

Timeliness 

A major concern of many employers who have remote employees is timeliness and productivity. Turning in your assignments, being prompt for Zoom calls and responsive to emails will leave a lasting impression on your boss.  

Be Proactive  

When problems arise, make sure you step up the plate to find solutions. Your boss will be impressed when you take the initiative. Taking it upon yourself to do tasks or projects without being asked also proves that you are a reliable employee.
