Test camera, microphone, and internet speed 24 hours before the interview. Position lighting in front of your face, not behind. Use a neutral background or professional virtual background. Close all browser tabs and applications to prevent notifications. Dress professionally from head to toe. Look at your camera when speaking, not the screen. 67% of hiring managers have rejected candidates due to technical issues during video interviews.

Portugal ranks #1 for digital nomads with affordable cost of living ($2,000/month in Lisbon), fast internet (average 200 Mbps), Digital Nomad Visa, and strong expat community.

Key factors: time zone overlap with US/EU employers, cost of living under $2,500/month, reliable 50+ Mbps internet, and visa accessibility. Portugal and Spain offer paths to EU residency.

Are work from home jobs legit?

Yes, the majority of work from home jobs are legitimate. In 2026, over 35% of US workers hold fully remote positions at verified companies. To identify legit work from home jobs: check that the company has a real website and LinkedIn presence, never pay upfront fees to apply, verify the company on Glassdoor or Trustpilot, and apply through established job boards like DailyRemote that screen employers. Red flags include requests for personal banking information, guaranteed high income with no experience, and unprofessional communication. Remote-first companies like GitLab, Zapier, Automattic, and Shopify post legitimate work from home positions regularly.
