What are the main challenges you faced as a remote professional and how do you tackle each?
Sometimes, I have internet problems that can disrupt my work. I recently purchased a subscription for a backup internet connection.
There was a time when my client gave me tasks that were outside of my expertise. To deal with it, I asked my client to give me some time to research and self-study so I could accomplish the task at hand.
