Ask HN: Finding a remote job / Creating a resume
As someone who has never actually even needed to apply for a job, i'm
perplexed on how to create an internationally viable resume to be able to
seek remote jobs. I've had the blessing/curse of being employed straight
out of secondary school, so i've actually never had to seek jobs,
especially not in another country.
How does one create an attractive looking resume based on that?
No real degree, 6 years working experience from the same place, some personal
minor coding projects, nothing big.
I'm a fast learner with a hacker mind with no doubt that i'd be able
to perform as well as people with degrees and more diverse experiences, but
how do i express this?
- dholowiski 16y agoAre you looking to work remotely (live in one country, work for a company based in another country), or get a job in a remote location and move there to work?

- alexwestholm 16y agoCertainly not an exhaustive list, but: 1) Open source, even if you're only helping find bugs 2) Launch something 3) Blog your expertise 4) Volunteer tech projects
- kls 16y agoI have found that if you want to work remote many times it is better to just freelance. It seems that people are far more agreeable to remote work when the projects are in 1-2 month work increments. Many time freelance gigs will lead to a direct offer of employment if that is what you are after and many times the terms will be similar to the freelancing arrangement.
