Remote Job Search Tips
Hubstaff’s blog post with tips on how to find remote jobs is pretty interesting. It goes beyond how to organize your remote job search and track results. In their post “4 Little-Known Hacks for Finding Remote Work” there’s strategy for using LinkedIn, Slack, and Twitter to job search. The author, Mary Green, also breaks down how to cold email:

Now please keep in mind: I refuse to wait around for opportunities to find me. Not because they don’t come along, but because when I want or need something, I think it’s up to me to get it. Along the lines of: I’m in control of my destiny.
There’s a lot of good advice in her post so check it out.
