When I was working remotely, some of my engineer friends had difficulties finding remote opportunities. I checked some of their CVs, and they had more experience than me and better-looking CVs.
However, there was one big difference: I was applying to over 2000 jobs a month, while they were sending around 100 applications a month—a 1900% difference.
When you try to search for remote opportunities, always keep in mind that you are competing with the entire world, so the numbers really matter. The more applications you send, the higher your chances of landing that perfect remote job. Don’t get discouraged, and stay persistent by some point your efforts will pay off.
Extra tip: Create 5 different CVs with the same content but completely different designs. Apply to various places with each of these CVs for the same job titles. Identify the top 3 performing CVs, then use them for your applications. Finally, determine the best one and stick to applying with that.
