Remote Work Junkie - The job market is out of your control

Remember, the job market right now is out of your control.

While you might not be getting responses or interviews for remote jobs, it doesn’t mean you aren’t talented at what you do.

Even after you put in the work to stand out and go beyond just a quick application, there's not REAL exact way to land interviews.

But that doesn't mean you need to give up. To improve your chances to get noticed, put in the work in these key areas ‡

1. Utilize LinkedIn more.

Clean up your profile, engage with people at companies you want to work at, connect with recruiters, DM people, etc. GET SOCIAL.

2. Monitor remote job boards.

Find the remote job boards you trust, sign up for alerts, join their talent pool, and start applying. There's many out there, bookmark the ones you like the most.

3. Join industry communities.

Communities are great way to find jobs before their public, directly engage with those hiring or those who work at a company hiring, plus learn and network from others. There are free and paid communities, both have their value.

4. Utilize free software and AI in your search.

While there are plenty of great software tools to help your resume, your cover letter, and even in job search and sending out applications. And some are powered by AI, which increases efficiency and the speed of your efforts.

Job hunting is literally a full-time job right now.

It can take time to edit and tailor your applications, manage your LinkedIn, and search through remote jobs from all over the web.

But you'll get through this phase and find the perfect remote job.

Ready for this weeks goodies!?
