I'm a US citizen living abroad. I would love to find a remote role with a US company in my field (transportation planning). Most of the roles I've seen, though, are either on-site or hybrid roles which require 2-3 days a week in the office. However, one company I saw offered a remote role with a week of on-boarding and 2-3 weeks of office attendance a year. That kind of set-up would be ideal for me, but I unfortunately I didn't meet all the requirements of the position and have never seen any other companies offering this type of set-up. Do you have any advice about approaching companies who are offering hybrid roles and finding a way for them to consider a more remote set-up with some in-office attendance like the one I just described? At what stage of the application process would it be best to bring it up? From my LinkedIn profile and CV, it will be obvious that I live abroad. Any advice about what kind of text I could add to it that would help me get to the interview stage to try to convince them about this kind of set up? Thanks in advance for any tips!
