Hi,
I have been out of work for a while and now getting back to applying for new roles. I am wondering how everyone is approaching the job search these days. I am checking new opportunities and openings via LinkedIn, Indeed and other online sites. Also, checking in with friends and family for encouragement and ideas. I am currently seeking remote roles. What are you doing to work through this challenging job search period? What's working or not? Any suggestions?

LinkedIn, Indeed, networking. Also been trying to pay more attention to company career pages. It's tedious, but sometimes you'll find a role on there before it gets posted to the boards.

One thing to keep in mind is that remote roles are typically hard to find. They're not as common as they were two or three years ago. Checking in with friends and business contacts is always advisable. Sometimes you can find a job via word of mouth, maybe someone knows someone who knows of an opening. You can't overlook the power of networking.

Maybe obvious, but filter your searches on LI, Indeed, etc., for remote. Then when you find roles or companies you might be interested in, go to their company page on LI and look to see if you have 1st or 2nd degree connections with anyone there and reach out to those folks, starting with the 1st degree if any. If not, reach out to the first degree connections you have e who are 2nd degree connected to the person at the company. Ask for an intro. People usually genuinely want to help and you are FAR more likely to get a first round screening interview if someone internally refers you through the company portal. If no connections at the company, find someone on the relevant team and reach out to them to see if they’ll chat with you about their experience at the company, the role they’re looking to fill etc. Again, people like to help. It makes them feel valuable and kind and boosts their ego a bit, which nobody hates. Good luck!
