"The only tactic I knew before joining LARJ was endlessly scrolling through LinkedIn's job postings. I had no direction, no idea how to sell myself and my skills, and I was re-editing my resume every week. LARJ taught me the skillset of job searching. No hand-holding, just guidance and a digital toolkit I can use and repurpose for any time I'm job searching. The job process is no longer intimidating, and I feel confident." The second cohort of my program to help ambitious knowledge workers land their next remote job starts in March. This is the exact end-to-end system I use to land my remote roles. You get me standing "over your shoulder" to answer your toughest questions, plus support and accountability from your peers Interested?

As the new year approaches and you have more time on your hands, a few things I would recommend if you want to be considered/reached out to for roles as you apply! It is very competitive and little things will set you apart from competition: - Add your location on your resume. Not sure why I am seeing less of this.. - Technical skills portrayed in bullet points, not just skills section. - If a job is posted for hybrid/onsite and you apply from elsewhere add "will relocate" on your resume. Unless you are hoping for them to make the role remote.. In which case I would add "only seeking remote roles" - Self portraits on resumes are not needed. You should have a LinkedIn profile link attached with a picture there. (If you do not have an up to date LinkedIn, make an up to date LinkedIn) You will also be able to see who viewed your profile, which is a good sign if you want to be considered for a role! - Make sure your resume is up to date. - Fix typos and grammar. - More than one page is okay! Get your experience outlined in there. List goes on! Best of luck, reach out if you have any questions. I can take a look at your resume confidentially if sent to [email protected] and give any pointers. #jobsearch #newyear #jobopenings

Want to land that fancy new remote job? Pro Tip: Add a picture to your LinkedIn profile. Can you get a job on LinkedIn without a profile picture? Sure, but you make it a lot harder without one It's a cliche, but people hire people. A profile picture lets a hiring manager identify with you. When I am in hiring mode, nothing excites me more than finding a candidate with the right skill set and a profile picture that makes them look like they know what they are doing. Increase your chances of success. Be more human. Add that profile picture - your job search depends on it. #remotework #azurejobs

💼 Through user feedback and market insights, SkillUp Coalition realized that the people they serve — STARs or people skilled through alternative routes — wanted better access to remote jobs and employers needed more people to fill critically needed remote roles. Last fall, they created a remote job board specifically for jobseekers without a college degree. Already, SkillUp's job board hosts as many as 11,000 job listings per day and has served over 150,000 STARs. The job board is already serving as an important entry point to SkillUp's wraparound services: “Individuals may come in just looking for remote jobs that don't require a degree but ultimately gain access to a comprehensive platform that can help them along the pathway to a high-opportunity career.” Read the full piece at the link in the comments. ⤵ #remotejobs #stars #opportunity #philanthropy
