Ask HN: How do you apply for remote developer roles?
What sites do you use, what tactics if any.
- mijailr 7y agoI think that to have a good opportunity to get hired for a remote role you should have a very good personal brand, your code quality and your contributions to open source projects. Some times I receive job offers from people that looks at something that I made on GitHub. So I can say: "My tactics is to love what I do, share knowledge with others and contribute to open source projects"
- mastrsushi 7y agoThe projects of yours that catch eyes of employers, are they industry relevant? I've had attempts at simple things like lexers for interpreters, stack vms, but I always get the feeling that's too esoteric.
- wprapido 7y agoI get most of work through networking. Otherwise, I've found Reddit and Facebook to be extremely helpful. Far more than LinkedIn or dedicated job boards. How do I go about? I introduce myself, mention relevant experience, list references. And, mind you, I'm not a dedicated opensource contributor. Hell, even my public GitHub repo is dated and not that rich. Again, my target market are not tech companies per se. I prefer being the tech guy in a non-tech company. Mis dos centavos.
