Confirm where you can work
Ask which locations the employer permits and whether any office visits are required. Clarify training arrangements, time-zone expectations, and travel. Do not assume a remote posting accepts applicants in every state.
Understand the setup
Ask who supplies equipment, which connection requirements apply, and how support is provided. Learn whether the role involves continuous customer calls or scheduled meetings. Consider whether your workspace supports the required duties.
Clarify performance expectations
Discuss how the team communicates, how managers provide coaching, and which measures are used to evaluate work. Ask about the mix of incoming leads and outbound contact. Remote work still requires clear ownership and consistent follow-through.
Verify the application route
Check the employer's identity and use a trusted application route. Be cautious about requests to pay for a job or move money on an employer's behalf. When a message seems inconsistent with the posting, contact the company through an independently verified channel.
