5 Entry-Level Remote Jobs Paying Up To $75,000 (No Experience) In 2024

Since most employers ask for two to three years of work experience for entry-level jobs, landing an entry-level job without experience (unless it’s a graduate job) can be highly challenging. Ironic, right? And if you wanted to get a remote entry-level role, it’s even more difficult.

However, given some creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, and resourcefulness, you can successfully kick off your career to a positive headstart, work remotely, and even get paid more than a single American’s median income…even without any role-specific experience.

To begin with, you need to stop searching for “entry-level jobs” and start proactively identifying opportunities. This involves a combination of freelancing (an excellent way to gain experience quickly, get paid right away for each project, and build up your resume while working remotely) and looking at the career pages of larger employers, who usually offer traineeships or provide filters for their job postings where you can only see jobs based on your level of experience.

A word of advice: many entry-level remote jobs do not even have “entry-level” anywhere in their description or job title, so you will have difficulty finding them if this is the only key phrase you use in your job search.

Consider taking a holistic approach when searching for entry-level jobs. You may have your heart set on landing an entry-level position in learning and development within human resources, but finding such a role might be challenging. Instead of feeling discouraged, consider temporarily pursuing an entry-level position that would provide transferable skills and complement your career goals. This way, you can be prepared when the desired role becomes available.

So, using this example, you could decide to temporarily undertake a role as a career advisor, recruitment specialist, customer service representative, or tutor. This will still help you further your career within HR as an L&D consultant.

5 Remote Entry-Level Jobs That Pay Up To $75,000 Without Experience

Whether you’re a recent graduate, stay-at-home parent re-entering the workforce, or are simply looking to pivot careers, here are some well-paid remote jobs available to you—even without any prior experience in them:

1. Remote customer service agent—average salary range of $35,255 to $43,945

As you search, look for key phrases such as “we are seeking someone with the right attitude who is willing/eager to learn” or “training will be provided for the right candidate.” This indicates that even if you do not have the prerequisite experience, you still have a good chance of landing the role due to your transferable skills and growth mindset. Employers will be willing to invest in your ongoing training, which sets you up for higher-paying roles within the industry moving forward.

And finally, remember, if you have volunteering experience, ran your own business for a short while, completed an internship or other trainee program, had a graduate job placement, or worked aboard for a short time as an expat—these all count as experience. Never discount these experiences because they are where you gain transferable skills for the future roles you wish to pursue.
