The ideal is to work remotely for a boss that already knows you. If not that, then I would focus very strongly on the adage that you need to make your boss look good. If you can do that, then your boss will sing your praises. I (unknowingly) had a boss that wasn't doing that at my last position, and it was probably the main thing that caused things to go poorly.
