r/RemoteJobs

Like I understand the job market is bad, but come on. I’m applying everywhere for remote roles, and by everywhere, I mean EVRYWHERE. USA, Canada, UK, Germany, South Africa, etc. for a few months now and nothing. I’ve got like 4 professional certifications across Microsoft Azure, AWS and Oracle, I’ve been a top 10 finalist across Southern Africa in a hackathon with over 300 developers. I’ve built projects that align heavily with my experience in cloud engineering. I studied IT in uni, I was a student leader, I even tailor my cv for each application factoring in ATS. I do all of these things recruiters always tell us would, ‘give you that extra edge’ and yet still… crickets.

What does it take to get your foot in the door man? I honestly just need someone to take a chance on this young man. Do you understand what it feels like to put in so much work, knowing you have the capabilities to completely obliterate expectations, but barely make it past the initial application stage?

Please if anyone has any advie, OR BETTER YET, extend an olive branch by connecting me to the right people, I would be wholeheartedly grateful.

Hey everyone,

I've been exploring We Work Remotely for software engineering jobs and had a few questions.

I'm based in India, and many of the listings seem to be from companies in Europe or North America. Do companies on We Work Remotely actually hire developers from India, or are most roles limited to specific countries or time zones?

When you're applying, how do you know which countries are eligible? Is it okay to apply unless the listing explicitly says otherwise, or is there a better way to filter these opportunities?

Also, has anyone here actually gotten a job through We Work Remotely? I'd love to hear about your experience:

• Which country are you from?
• Which country was the company based in?
• How was the interview process?
• Did they hire you as an employee or a contractor?

One more thing: has anyone tried the Auto Apply feature on We Work Remotely? Is it worth paying for, and did it lead to more interviews or offers?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's successfully landed a job through the platform, especially if you're from India or another country outside the US/Europe.

Thanks!

Got about 5 interview invitations but they’re all wanting me to message various HR agents through Hyperproof on teams despite them being for jobs listed by 4 different companies. Are these scams or is this just an AI bot companies are using to hire people now?

So I want to work remotely which earns 25k monthly. Please help me guys!

I'm a college student and my computer is in terrible condition. So want a job to fix that and some money for my college expenses. Not sure if there's any job using phone only but if there is something then please recommend it'll really help.

P.S I can do editing also for video, reels, logo design etc

So I am quite new to finding remote jobs, so excuse me if i sound dumb.

I currently live in Scandinavia.. I have a dental degree from Pakistan, and I am also a canadian citizen, but havent lived there for years now. I am currently a mom to an almost 3 year old. So i had a career gap during this time. I basically have been trying to learn the language. it is getting EXHAUSTING and frustrating. I am really feeling down lately. I finally got a part time job at a dental clinic where i will do administrative or assisting work and also have the opportunity to learn the language. During this time, I have been considering looking into non-clinical healthcare remote jobs too. All this has been new to me, since i have only worked as a dentist before. I am considering leaning towards clinical data analyst roles or medical communication roles, for which i have to do a few certifications (Which i will, when i have fully decided this is the approach)

My current issue is, I don't see a lot of remote opportunities in English in the country I am in. Is it possible to get remote jobs in canada while i live here? Or any other european countries? I did try to apply in some but it required me to be in that specific country. Is it not at all possible?

Thank you in advance.

I'm currently at an Airbnb looking for a remote job. The router is not in my unit because they are a few duplexes and we all share the same internet. Most remote jobs request direct connection via ethernet. If i get a travel router or a wifi extender and connect the computer to that via ethernet would that work? If so which would be better and if not what other options would you suggest?

Thanks

I built a remote job board, from a small town in the Himalayas, because I was tired of remote job boards that show you the same 200 jobs everyone else is also applying to.

But finding the job was never really the hard part. Applying to the right ones, consistently, tailoring cover letter, answering questionnaire, filling forms, that too without burning out, was.

That's what AutoApply is built for. It's live today. 🎉

It matches you to roles based on your actual background, not keyword stuffing. It writes tailored cover letters. It tracks everything in one place so you're not managing your job search across 15 browser tabs and a spreadsheet.

A few things it does not do: it does not promise you a job. It does not spam recruiters. It does not pretend AI can replace judgment on something this personal to your career.

What it does is remove the repetitive parts so you can spend your time on the parts that actually need a human, like working on your skills and preparing for interviews.

If you're job hunting right now and want to check it out, pls comment.

Built by one person. Still improving it every week based on what people tell me is broken.

I was working in a horribly toxic environment that everyone in my company was fleeing from. My mental and physical health were declining and I needed out badly. I started applying around March, thinking I would find something very quickly. I did not. As we all know now, jobs were getting harder and harder to find. I had taken a course on resume writing a couple of years ago and continued on, still struggling. I was looking for primarily Learning & Development roles and really wanted a remote or hybrid position.

What worked: I used the filter on LinkedIn for <10 applicants. I used the filter at least once a day and applied only with fully tailored resume (used JobOwl for this) What happened was jobs that had unique names that I wasn't searching for, very small companies that lacked large followings, or companies that weren't sponsoring their posts popped up first. Also the newest postings would be mixed in there, so it also have a chance to be one of the first applicants. I landed some really solid interviews where I was in the top few candidates.

I was the first or second applicant to a role I hadn't heard of before that I had a lot of transferrable skills with. HR was contacting me by the next day. I told this to a couple of my friends who were also trying to leave and not having luck and they both landed a lot of interviews this way and were able to find a way out. I'm sure some of us have heard of this, but I figured some probably haven't and it could help. I now work almost entirely remotely, but do have to visit the office about once a month. I'm 2 months in and it has been life changing.

I've been trying to understand whether this is just my experience or if remote hiring has genuinely changed over the last year.

A few years ago, remote work felt like it was opening doors for everyone.

Now it feels like every remote role has hundreds, sometimes thousands of applicants within a day. Some are just spamming, scaming or data collectors.

Even when you find a role that looks like a great fit, there are so many unknowns.

• Is the company actually hiring?

• Is the position still open?

• Will they hire someone from my country?

• Is the salary even real?

• Will they eventually say "US applicants only" after you've already spent time applying?

After a while, I realized I wasn't just struggling to get interviews.

I was struggling to figure out which opportunities were actually worth investing my time in.

For those who are actively looking for remote work today,

What's the biggest challenge you're facing right now?

Not the interview process.

The job search itself.

I'm curious to know if others feel the same way or if I'm approaching it the wrong way.

32F, Business Analyst from 7+ years in a known pharma consulting company. Had to resign 2 years back due to some family and health reasons. Was working as a freelancer offline since then. I'm now actively searching for a remote job since 7 months and to no avail. Can someone who's working remotely from India help me with any resources for the same or if there's any paid guidance? I can see a lot of influencers on insta for the same but not sure whom to trust.

Thank you!

Ridiculous, I know. But I'll be graduating soon with a bachelor's in Computer Engineering from a US university. I'll make the question simple: how likely is it that I'll be able to find a remote job within a reasonable period after graduating? Unfortunately, that means I don't have relevant work experience yet, but:

• I'll take virtually anything, even if it's not related to my major.
• It doesn't have to pay well, I'll take $30,000/year if that's what it takes.
• I'm willing to put in effort all day every day to find something and I'm in a position where I have support. Again, I'll take practically anything.

Otherwise, is there an advisable course of action? Perhaps find an in-person job, work it for some amount of time(?), then restart the search? Also, hypothetically, if I had a spouse that was a Dutch citizen, would that make it possible for me to perhaps find remote work somewhere in Europe? This is a very real possibility for me.

I want to make it happen (a lot of other people do too, yes I know).

Pay is 6000$ a month and it is a remote position

You will have to pass the coding, aptitude and interview tests.
