Do NOT use LinkedIn search to find jobs on LinkedIn: Yes, you read that right. It’s because most of the time it will show you irrelevant jobs. Instead, do this: Let's say, you’re looking for a Product Manager job. Go to google.com and type this in the search bar: ↳ “site:linkedIn.com/jobs “Product” AND “Manager” ↳ Click on tools > change “Any time” to “Past week” You’ll see all the jobs posted that very few people have applied for, which otherwise are difficult to find via LinkedIn search directly. But, if you want to be even more specific, and search for something like below: “Product Manager or Program Manager position from Google, Amazon, or Apple for Bangalore location” Or, something like “Financial Analyst role in the financial industry that allows me to work remotely” Create a boolean search string like this: ↳ site:linkedIn.com/jobs ("Product" OR "Program") AND ("Manager" OR "Management " OR "Development) AND ("Google" OR "Amazon" OR "Apple") AND (“Bangalore”) ↳ site:linkedIn.com/jobs ("Analyst") AND ("Finance" OR "Equity" OR "Investment" OR "Credit" OR "Financial" OR "Portfolio" OR "Treasury " OR "Derivatives") AND ("Remote" OR "Work from home") Now copy and paste any of these strings on Google search and see the results yourself. 🎁 Bonus tip: You can also find jobs on other job portals using this hack by changing the site name to any other job portals like this: ↳ site:naukri.com/jobs ("Analyst") AND ("Finance" OR "Equity" OR "Investment" OR "Credit" OR "Financial" OR "Portfolio" OR "Treasury " OR "Derivatives") AND ("Remote" OR "Work from home") Follow me, Vijay Chandola for more such tips on job search.

How to find 𝗨𝗦𝗔 & 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻, even if you live outside those countries. I get this question a lot, so let me simplify it in 7 simple steps: Step 1: Use LinkedIn’s job filters (correctly) Go to the Jobs tab and use these filters: → Location: type “Remote” → Country: select United States and Canada → Job Type: Full-time → Work Type: Remote This ensures you’re only seeing roles that are remote and based in North America. Step 2: Use the right keywords In the search bar, try: → “Remote Data Analyst USA” → “Remote Data Scientist Canada” → “Fully remote data engineer” Mix in keywords like: • “Global team” • “Worldwide” • “Remote-first company” These companies are more likely to accept international applicants. Step 3: Focus on companies that hire globally Target companies known for hiring remote international talent: → Automattic → GitLab → Toptal → Zapier → Deel → Doist → Oyster → Remote.com Search “[Company Name] careers” and look at their hiring policies. Step 4: Follow hiring managers & recruiters Find hiring managers and tech recruiters in the US/Canada who’ve posted remote jobs. → Like and comment on their posts → Send a warm DM (not a cold pitch) → Stay on their radar These relationships create long-term opportunities. Step 5: Optimize your LinkedIn profile Make your profile location say: → “Open to Remote Roles in USA & Canada” Recruiters search by location. If your profile says “Kenya” or “India,” they might assume relocation is required unless you clearly state you’re looking for remote roles. Step 6: Highlight your timezone + communication skills Companies care about async work and timezone overlap. Add something like: → “Work comfortably across EST & PST” → “Strong async communicator with 4+ years remote experience” Step 7: Prepare your pitch Once you find a job that fits, don’t just apply. → Engage with the company on LinkedIn → Reach out to an employee or the hiring manager → Show how you solve their problems Outreach > blind applications. Start your search today because roles are going fast. P.S. It’s easier if you already have a valid work visa or permit. If you don’t, focus on global-first companies or consider freelancing until you build leverage. ➕ Follow Jaret André for daily data job search strategies 🔔 Hit the bell to get practical tips that actually land offers

Remote work is a gift - but let's be real: it can wreck your health if you're not intentional. Two years ago, my routine was embarrassing: Wake up → laptop in bed → work on couch → order delivery → back to laptop → sleep I gained weight, lost energy, and felt constantly "on" but never actually productive. Working from home quietly creates: → Almost no movement → Poor posture (hello, couch slump) → Way longer workdays → Isolation & zero casual interactions → Skipped meals or eating like a distracted raccoon → Feeling "always on" but never fully present But the good news? You can fix a lot of this with small, repeatable habits. Here's what's completely changed my remote work life: 1️⃣ Create daily rituals → Morning walk before opening Slack (game-changer) → Post-lunch stretch (even 5 minutes helps) → Walking 1:1s instead of video calls when possible 2️⃣ Schedule human moments → Call a friend mid-morning just to laugh → Casual huddle with teammates about non-work topics → Grab coffee outside 3️⃣ Set real work hours → Just because there's no commute doesn't mean you owe the company 10–11 hours → Protect your end time like it's your most important meeting 4️⃣ Invest in your environment → Good chair, external keyboard, natural light → Create separation between "work zone" and "rest zone" - even in a small apartment 5️⃣ Move like it's your job → 5-min stretch between meetings (block these!) → Take your next brainstorm outside → Treat movement as productivity, not a distraction Remote work can be sustainable, creative, even energizing - but only if you design your day like it matters. Remote work doesn't have to slowly drain you. It can actually give you more energy than office work ever did. 👇 What's one thing you do to stay healthy(ish) while working remotely? Always looking for new tips.

This expanded her connections and opened up new opportunities. 3.

Remote job is not for all. Working remotely as a software engineer for over 5 years has been an enriching and challenging experience. Here are some of the key challenges I encountered and how I overcame them, as well as why remote work is the best fit for me: Challenges and Solutions 1. Communication and Collaboration: - Challenge: Initially, maintaining clear and effective communication with team members spread across different time zones was tough. - Solution: We adopted asynchronous communication tools like Teams and project management software like Azure Boards. Regular virtual stand-ups and meetings ensured everyone stayed aligned. 2. Time Management: - Challenge: Balancing work and personal life when both occur in the same space can be difficult. - Solution: Establishing a strict work schedule and creating a dedicated workspace helped. Using tools like Trello to prioritize tasks and employing the Pomodoro technique improved productivity. 3. Isolation: - Challenge: Working remotely can sometimes feel isolating without the social interactions of an office environment. - Solution: Engaging in virtual coffee breaks, participating in online team-building activities, and occasionally working from co-working spaces provided much-needed social interaction. 4. Technical Issues: - Challenge: Dealing with technical issues remotely, without immediate IT support. - Solution: Building a reliable home office setup with backup systems and having a basic understanding of troubleshooting helped minimize downtime. Our company also provided a robust support system for remote workers. -----//----- Why Remote Work is Best for Me 1. Flexibility: - Remote work offers the flexibility to design my schedule, allowing for a better work-life balance. I can manage personal commitments without compromising on work responsibilities. 2. Increased Productivity: - The absence of a daily commute and fewer office distractions contribute to higher productivity. I can focus better on tasks and deliver quality work more efficiently. 3. Global Opportunities: - Working remotely has enabled me to collaborate with talented individuals worldwide, gaining diverse perspectives and learning new skills. 4. Cost Savings: - Eliminating the daily commute and reducing expenses related to office attire and meals has led to significant cost savings. 5. Health and Well-being: - Remote work allows for a healthier lifestyle. I can incorporate regular exercise, prepare healthier meals, and avoid the stress of commuting. Overall, remote work aligns perfectly with my lifestyle and professional goals. It allows me to work in an environment that maximizes my productivity and well-being while offering opportunities for continuous learning and growth.

Remote working: great for productivity… but not always for your mental health, right? Hybrid and remote models are here to stay - and for many leaders and teams, they’ve brought more focus, flexibility, and freedom. But there’s a potentially darker side to consider. When you work from home, you avoid the commute, the office noise, and the after-work drinks. Sounds healthier, right? Not always. I see plenty of high performers fall into these traps: ↪ Working longer hours because the laptop is right there ↪ Seeing less of their family (ironically) because they’re “always on” ↪ Drinking more - no need to face the team the next morning ↪ Neglecting exercise, fresh air, and simple wellbeing habits The problem? When your work and personal life happen in the same space, the boundaries blur - and your mental health takes the hit before you even notice. Here’s how to protect yourself and your team: ➡ Create a start/finish routine not just a “to do” list ➡ Set rules around habits like alcohol, snacking, and screen time ➡ Schedule regular face-to-face connection - coffee, co-working ➡ Get outside every single day, even if it’s 15 minutes ➡ Keep a coach, mentor, or trusted sounding board on your side Remote work can be brilliant. It can also be isolating and draining if you don’t manage it. I've felt this myself - nobody is immune. I work with senior leaders who look fine on the surface - but underneath, they’re running on fumes. The good news? This can change quickly with the right structure, accountability, and support. Action ➡ Momentum ➡ Results What’s your best tip for staying mentally well when working remotely? Chris, Your Results Coach.

The 2-minute LinkedIn profile change that's doubled remote interview rates for my clients... 👇🏼 Sometimes the tiniest details matter most in our job search. Let’s master the details. Most remote job seekers spend hours perfecting their resumes while completely overlooking the #1 place recruiters look first. After helping hundreds of professionals land competitive remote roles, I've identified a simple LinkedIn adjustment that consistently delivers dramatic results. It takes less than 2 minutes to implement, yet most profiles are missing it entirely. ✅ 1 // Add "Remote Work" as an actual skill This sounds almost too simple to matter - but the data is clear. Remote recruiters specifically filter for this keyword when searching for candidates. Don't just list random technical skills. Explicitly add "Remote Work" or "Remote Collaboration" to your skills section. This simple addition makes you discoverable in recruiter searches targeting remote-ready candidates. ✅ 2 // Back it up with specific remote tools Don't just claim remote work abilities - demonstrate them by listing the exact tools you're proficient with: And • Async communication: Slack, Loom, Notion • Project management: Asana, Trello, ClickUp • Virtual collaboration: Miro, Figma, Zoom These tool proficiencies are the "proof points" that validate your remote readiness. ✅ 3 // Highlight remote experience in your headline Most people waste their headline on generic titles like "Marketing Manager." Instead, frontload it with remote-specific language: BEFORE: "Marketing Manager at XYZ Company" AFTER: "Remote-Experienced Marketing Manager | Driving Results Across Time Zones | Asynchronous Team Collaboration" My client Jennifer made only these changes to her profile. Within two weeks, she received 3 inbound messages from remote recruiters who found her through LinkedIn search - after months of sending applications with zero response. Another client, Marcus, saw his profile views jump 215% in the first week after implementing these changes, leading to multiple interview opportunities. Remote hiring is fundamentally different from traditional recruitment. Small adjustments that align with how remote recruiters actually search can dramatically increase your visibility. Take 2 minutes today to make these changes. Your future remote self will thank you. What's one thing you're going to adjust on your LinkedIn profile after reading this?

REMOTE WORK vs IN-OFFICE. Same 8 hours. Completely different energy output. It starts with assumptions: “Office work creates better collaboration.” “Remote workers lose productivity.” “One setup fits every team.” “More hours means more value.” But the truth: → Productivity grows through focus, not location → Deep work increases in environments with fewer interruptions → Meetings consume more time than most organizations realize → Flexibility improves energy management for many professionals → Sustainable performance depends on intentional work habits A closer look at where time goes: IN-OFFICE: ✓ Focused work sessions ✓ Meetings and team collaboration ✓ Commute time and transitions ✓ Social interactions and office conversations ✓ More interruptions during the day REMOTE WORK: ✓ Longer deep focus periods ✓ Fewer unnecessary meetings ✓ Less commuting fatigue ✓ More flexibility for recovery and personal life ✓ Better control over work environment Strong results can happen in both environments. The real difference comes from: ✓ How focus gets protected ✓ How energy gets managed ✓ How clearly priorities are communicated ✓ How intentionally teams work together The future of work belongs to organizations balancing: ✓ Performance ✓ Flexibility ✓ Well-being ✓ Sustainable productivity Because long-term success grows from clarity, focus, and energy management. Start asking: Does the current work setup improve focus and sustainable performance? ➕ Follow Nicolas Torres Santana for more on the future of work.

I have worked remotely for the last 8 years. I am even working from India for the second half of this year. Here’s what people would tell me all the time: → That’s such an incredible job → I wish my company was like that too → I wish I had this flexibility Ever since I knew my first kid was going to be born, remote work became a priority for me. For the last 8 years, I have had a remote job. And now, I have my online business that supports that. For jobs, there are three ways to land remote jobs: 1. Go to remote-specific job boards. • We Work Remotely • FlexJobs • Remotive • JustRemote - • DailyRemote You can also use LinkedIn or Indeed job boards and filter for Remote jobs. 2. Target remote-friendly name-brand companies: • Spotify • Shopify • Slack • Dropbox • Zapier • Atlassian • Automattic • and many more. Leverage AI to search for, "Give me names of 10 companies in <target industry>/<target role> that have been outspoken about being remote-first or remote-friendly." 3. Finally, be open to non-traditional options: There are so many fully remote companies. They are just not household names yet. For example, the company where I worked till last year, EngSim Corporation, was an awesome place to work and was one of the best decisions I made in my life. Outside of a specific niche (advanced engineering in the automotive industry), no one would know about us. Every industry has companies like these. There's an example of another company, 37signals that created the project management tool Basecamp, whose cofounders Jason Fried and DHH have written seminal books about remote work. Track companies that are vocal about being remote-first. To drive this point home, here's a final example. My LinkedIn friend Tara Knight 🧩 is embarking on a digital nomad experiment while working in my other LinkedIn friend AJ Eckstein 🧩 's company Creator Match. Track creator-led businesses, entrepreneurs, and startups that will be cool places for you to work at. Chances are, they are more focused on fit than location. • Network with people who have these jobs • Create a list of amazing places to work at • Take action when an opening comes up __ That's it. Three practical ways to land remote jobs. This is a reality for many. You have to seek it. Good luck 🚀 PS. When it comes to my company and building my dream lifestyle, I started building on the side first. Should I write more about that?

Looking to land your dream remote job? I’m the CEO of of the largest remote-only job board. Here are my 5 best tips: Know Where to Apply (and Where to Avoid) There are more and more remote jobs popping up every day. But… you have to know where to look for them. And that’s where many job seekers get stuck. If you go to a traditional job board, you’ll have to wade through countless in-office positions. If you try to find work on the giant freelance sites, the competition is astronomical. So what do pro-level remote workers do? They find a remote specific job board. Companies that advertise here are exclusively looking for full-time remote employees. These companies are looking for full-time remote employees, so you’ll find far fewer freelance or temporary gigs. Plus… the competition is lower because fewer job seekers are checking these sites. Create an Online Brand to Stand Out Are your resume and cover letter important? Of course. But what will actually set you apart? A personal brand. If your potential employer googles you (and trust me, they will) what will they find? Optimize and update your LinkedIn profile! Recruiters are searching on LinkedIn for candidates. Set your profile up right, and you’ll always show up in their searches. Extra work? Yes. Extra attention from the hiring manager? Also, yes. Follow the Top Remote Companies and Interact with Them Pinpoint the remote companies you actually want to work for and spend time researching them. Start following and interacting with them on social. You’ll be the first to hear about new jobs, but you’ll also have a leg up on your competition. Super Organize Your Remote Job Search I love a good spreadsheet. ❤️ Create a spreadsheet of the top companies you’re interested in. Here are your columns: -Name of the company -Position you applied for -Date you applied -How you applied (on the website, from a job board, etc.) -Follow-up date -Point of contact (if you have one) -Notes/comments This wealth of recorded intel will help you keep track of your job search so you can follow up appropriately. Which leads us to… Always Send Follow-Ups Don’t “send-it-and-forget-it.” Obviously, you’re not going to hear back from every company you send a resume to, but that doesn’t mean you should give up when you’re getting silence. Hiring teams are busy. Usually they get 250 applications per job post. Send a quick follow-up to express your excitement about the role! The best people I have hired have always followed up and shown interest in the role! — If you have any questions on landing your dream remote job, my DMs are open!
