How do you show remote experience on a resume when you've only ever worked in an office?
Started my career in 2022, so I missed the whole pandemic-remote thing. Four years as an ops coordinator at a mid-size logistics company that's been butts-in-seats the entire time. No hybrid days, no exceptions.
Now every posting I'm interested in has some version of "proven success in a remote or distributed environment" in the requirements, and I've got nothing to point to. My resume just says the company name and a city.
The frustrating part is that the day-to-day already looks remote. My three main carrier contacts are in Texas, Ontario, and Rotterdam and I've never met any of them. Everything runs through email and shared trackers. I built the handoff doc our night shift uses because I'm never there when they are. None of that is "remote experience" in the way a recruiter means it, but functionally it's the same skill.
So what do people actually do here. Add a bullet like "coordinated daily with vendors across three time zones" and let it speak for itself? Put something in the summary? I don't want to write "remote-ready" because that reads like I'm announcing I've never done it.
And honestly I'm not sure how much weight this carries at the screening stage versus being boilerplate everyone copy-pastes into job posts. If you made the in-office to remote jump, what got you through the first filter?
