I’m a mother of two looking for a remote job and honestly feeling defeated.
I have experience in digital marketing, but after applying to almost 3,000 roles, I haven’t had a single real interview only scammers and fake offers. I’ve now started applying to basic roles like data entry and customer service just to find something stable.
Is remote hiring actually happening right now? If anyone has advice or knows of legitimate companies hiring, I’d truly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Remote jobs are gone for the most part, with companies wanting everyone back in the office now. If you continue to hold out for a remote job, you're wasting your time and putting yourself at financial risk. Sad but true.

I have been investing with the same company for three years and have benefited significantly without incurring losses or falling victim to internet scams. I recommend seeking further information and conducting your own research when necessary.

I honestly don’t think it really is. If there are any jobs posted as remote they immediately get flooded with applications. I would be looking for hybrid instead. I’ve given up on even searching for a remote role and am being careful about the hybrid opportunities.

Copywriter is unfortunately right. I apply for everything I’m qualified for as I got laid off 3 months ago, and no offers yet even for in house roles. Part of that is on me though, I’m not resetting my salary to 2022 levels to get a job. Absolutely out of the question.

I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??
