No kidding! I also wonder how companies will find experienced people without putting newbies into the pipeline, so to speak. There will always be the driven, the self taught, and the clever fakers, but wouldn't it work better to have some well trained hard workers as well?
- kls 15y agoWhat I do personally is I reverse contact recruiters, I highlight my front-end and mobile skills while politely reminding them that they are hard skills to fill. I briefly explain my experience integrating with teams remotely and ask if they have any contracts that have been unable to fill a UI/UX position, if they do, I ask if they would consider talking to their client about the possibility of filling the position through a remote engagement. I offer to be onsite for 30 days and to make regular weekly visits every 3 months if they need it to feel comfortable. 9 times out of 10, when you get in the door and start producing they don't really care that you are remote and tell you not to bother wasting the time traveling out. I think the 30 days up front is key, it makes them comfortable with the relationship forming before you are just some person out there in the digital no man's land.
