And I'm gonna share with you
specific job boards
that you can go to right now

And we're gonna talk about the application process,
what to look for,
what to put in your application
so that you can land your next remote job.
And of course,
we're gonna talk about the interview

So we're gonna cover that as well in today's video.

All right, let's talk about how to search
for these remote jobs
and how to find particular job boards
that are actually hiring for work from home
and remote positions.
Start your search with job sites
that specialize on remote work to save time.
These sites will contain overlapping listings,
but searching for a specific job title
or browsing the ads by job category
does not take that long.
Here is a list of job boards
that are hiring for remote
and work from home opportunities.
Working Nomads.
Working Nomads currently lists more than 20,000 openings.
About half of them in software development.
Now for each of the listing,
the site includes keywords such as full time
contract, tax preparer, JavaScript,
which makes it easier to browse through the jobs,
to find ones that require your specific skills.
So make sure to put in your skillset,
whether you're looking for full-time
part-time remote and work from home.
Next up is a job board called We Work Remotely.
I've talked about this company in the past.
They are fantastic.
Now they lean pretty heavily
towards jobs for software developers,
but you'll also find jobs to design,
copywriting, business and management, customer support,
sales, and marketing
and other categories as well.
Jobspresso.
Now Jobspresso actually hand picks their opportunities.
So you know they're good
and they currently have more than 1000 listed
on their site right now.
Now the job summaries helpfully include
major details,
such as things like the description of the company
and locations
and what they're hiring for.
So whether or not you're looking for
a job outside of the US or Canada,
you'll be able to find that here.
Now some other boards
will show you only the company
and the job title.
Next up is a company called REMOTE.CO
Just make sure you use the appropriate filters
to look for the remote
and work from home opportunities.
FlexJobs.
FlexJobs is a great place to find work from home
work remote opportunities,
both entry-level and for people with experience.
Now keep in mind,
they do charge a fee for their monthly service.
Now, I don't know offhand what the exact fee is,
but it's nothing outrageous.
Just keep in mind that,
you know, you get what you pay for.
So it might be worth trying out for a month, right?
Pay the fee for a month.
It's not gonna cost you to anything too crazy
and see what kind of opportunities there are out there.
You never know, you might surprise yourself.
All right, now let's talk about the application process.
Once you've actually found the job
that you're looking for,
the job that you want to apply for,
it's now time to sort of tweak your application.
Not only do you wanna show that you're
the right fit for the job,
but you also wanna show
that you're the right fit for the company.
One thing that's really important is
if you've ever had a work from home position,
make sure to mention that on your application,
but list it as a virtual position, right?
Not a work from home position.
If you have any experience working with remote teams
or managing remote teams like through Zoom
or through online platforms,
make sure to mention that as well.
Also make sure to mention your diversity,
your willingness to work with
different people, different teams.
Always use the words remote and virtual on your resume
and on your LinkedIn profile.
Now, if you don't have a LinkedIn profile,
make sure to get one.
Also, if you have any freelance experience whatsoever,
make sure to mention that as well,
because that can go a long way.
All right, let's talk about the actual interview.
What are hiring managers looking for in a remote employee?
So let's talk about some of the biggest things that
hiring managers look for in remote employees.
Number one is transparency.
They wanna know how committed are they or you
to sharing your work and your thinking with others.
Communication, both written and oral is extremely important.
Also autonomy and independence.
Can you be trusted to work alone for long periods of time?
Self-awareness.
You have to not only be aware of your strengths,
but also your weaknesses.
Resourcefulness.
When you don't have all the information you need
to get a job done,
do you simply pick up the phone
or send an email and say, "Hey, help me."
Or do you try and figure it out on your own?
This is very, very important.
Now, one of my favorites, humility.
You have to be able to share the limelight, right?
It can't all be about you, you, you.
You need to be able to talk about shared accomplishments.
Not just your own.
All the traits that I just mentioned guys,
are super important.
They're vital to you getting the position.
Also to a long-lasting career with these companies.
So let me give you a couple of examples
of what might take place in the interview.
So you guys are prepared.
So one of the real common things is,
"Tell me about some of the
"most recent projects you've worked on."
"What's the hardest non-technical problem
"you've had to solve."
"Tell me about the time you had to solve a problem,
"but you didn't have all the information you needed".
"How do you manage your time
"and projects and deadlines."
And lastly, "Tell me about the person you've worked with
"that's had the single most
"powerful impact on you and your work."
So guys, I hope that that was helpful.
That's a little different than most of the videos I do,
but I've realized
I've never actually talked to you about,
you know, how to get the job,
where to find the job,
what to do when you actually
get asked to have an interview, right?
Which is nowadays usually through Zoom.
So these are some key things that
are gonna be very helpful for you moving forward.
Now, make sure to check out the links below.
I'm gonna put a list guys there
to some of the companies that are actually hiring
fully remote opportunities.
So check those out.
And for anyone who wants to know
how I actually make money from home.
People are always asking me in the comments.
I do what's called affiliate marketing,
and I've been doing this for six years
and I think we're going on five, seven years full time.
If anybody wants to learn how to do that,
