In Colombia there are currently 122,278 teleworkers, with Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Bucaramanga, and Barranquilla standing as the cities where these work options are most popular.

According to the Ministry, their applications have helped about 2,020 workers who wanted to try or were already taking advantage of telecommuting, as well as aiding more than 640 organizations in implementing this new modality.

To facilitate the job search for Colombians looking to telework, the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications announced the names of five applications endorsed by the Government which offer employment in this modality.

The five top platforms are as follows:

1. Public Employment Agency of the Seine 

In this portal you do more than look for a job - it also provides training to update your resume so that you are up to date with the needs of the market.

You can also find general tips for working in job interviews. Once registered on the portal, the worker must check “yes” in the box ‘Interest in telecommuting offers”. With this option you will receive work alerts.

2. Freelancer.es  

Freelancer.es is the largest freelancing, outsourcing, and crowdsourcing market in the world. There the worker can find job offers to take them up independently and from anywhere in the world.

3. Zelectto.com  

A Colombian network of freelance work, where independent professionals, students, and companies join to develop projects collaboratively, but without the need to interact in person.

4. Workana.com  

One of the most recognized independent work platforms in Latin America and Southeast Asia. Once your profile is created you can access the published offers.

5. Social networks

The first thing to know is that platforms such as social networks can be the gateway to a first job conversation.

Therefore, it is important that you have, develop, and potentiate your personal brand: take advantage of your social networks to promote conversations of professional relations, so that they become a tool with which other people contact you.

It is recommended to have a complete profile on networks such as LinkedIn, in which you highlight your experiences and achievements, accompanied by a photo that contributes to your work projection.
