Has anyone ever gotten a job by posting on Reddit or Twitter about being open to work? I’ve seen people do it and get leads but I’m nervous to try. Is it worth putting yourself out there like that?

I can only picture this working if you have a big following on Twitter, or if you've got a really impressive resume and know how to craft a viral post on reddit. Those stories always sound like complete clickbait to me. I would think you'd have better luck doing this on LinkedIn, and even then, I wouldn't expect interview requests to start flying in.

I have never done this but now I kind of want to. I am desperate to find a role at this point. I would do anything just to find something fully remote.

what type of role or industry you’re targeting? Once I know that, I can connect you with a highly regarded career source specialist, Jesse, whose network and expertise align with that space. He’s helped many professionals in similar situations and can advise on opportunities that fit your background and goals.

I’m curious: what kind of roles or industries are you exploring?
