I am 26F and have 4 years working experience in office job. Recently, I have been hunting a remote job for almost two weeks. I find there’s some differences between traditional job and remote job.

Less opportunity:

It’s harder to find a fully remote job than an office job. Sometimes I will take one hour to find one jd which is fully remote and fit for my previous experience. It’s much less than finding an office job jd.

More competitor:

One of a rejection letter told me that sometimes they will receive 2,000 applications for one role. I was totally shocked. 🥲In my previous job hunting, I have never met such competition. (I have worked for a 2000+ company but the competitors for one role is not as much as that.)

After two week’s job-hunting, I was wander how people began their first remote job. I hope you can share your experience to us.😛

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on finding remote job opportunities in the global market, especially in e-commerce.

I have 4 years experience in cross-border e-commerce. Around 3.5 years was on Amazon, and the rest was on shopify and tiktok shop.

After had a half "gap year", I realized I can no longer see myself spending every day tied to an office desk. I really hope to find a remote job that gives me more freedom in terms of location. This is the kind of lifestyle I truly want.

I’m currently based in China, and I’m not sure what the best way to look for overseas remote roles.

I’d really appreciate any advice on:

• Recommended websites or platforms for applying to remote jobs
• Whether overseas companies are open to hiring candidates based in China
• Tips for improving my chances (resume, portfolio, networking, etc.)

If anyone has had a similar experience or successfully landed a remote role in e-commerce, I’d love to hear your story.

Thanks in advance!
