How’s the remote EA job search going for y’all? I keep getting rejections for “remote” jobs in my city and everywhere else and I’m not sure why. My resume is great (or at least I think it is) and has always gotten me lots of callbacks…until this year. I know I’m competing with hundreds of peeps vs the usual local folks, but sheesh!

Do you mind sharing the EZ HR email for NYC? New employer needs it for an employment check (was a summer analyst a few years back) and I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks!

I’m casually looking and have been getting calls mostly based on my LinkedIn profile. Some recruiters will call me about EA roles listed as on-site but end up saying they’re okay with remote because the executives are remote. So don’t give up! Things are moving fast right now so if you make it to one step but they don’t push you further along, ask them if there’s anything you can do in the meantime to further your skillset as an EA. I also recommend updating something on your LinkedIn once a day. Put a space or period or anything in your bio because it increases your search appearances.

I’ve been ‘casually’ looking for fully remote with no luck. So many positions I find on LinkedIn are tagged ‘remote’ but they’re actually hybrid when I read through the positing.

I too get contacted by recruiters for positions they are looking to fill but they don’t bother to see I state fully remote on my bio.

It’s been frustrating but not giving up.
