Create a good linked-in profile, populate it with buzzwords. Even if you came along some tool or technology briefly. Recruiters do buzzword search and then contact person.
Don't mention about "limited experience, but fast learner" or "emotional hurts". Present yourself as a happy person wherever you are, and say that you're happy and not really looking for job but maybe opened to new opportunities and growth potentials.
I getting pestered with offers for local and relocations from recruiters who found me on linkedin.
Corps that are ok with remote workers are spoiled by cheap mediocre indian workers and are not interested with expensive but good-hearted remote north american workers.
The one who do - would hire you for very specific skill or experience (I worked for 6 years remotely like that).
Advice for the time being: do fun project (or even launch a little online service or business or product) using language/framework/technology that you'd want to learn. Add it to your resume.
Be found.
- marco-fiset 14y agoThe problem is, how do I get that specific experience that is required to work remotely? I don't have that much time to dedicate to side projects (I usually spend 4-8 hours per week with programming, sometimes less). IMO, time I spend at work is wasted, because it is so unrelated to the technologies I want to work with. To me, it does not count as additionnal experience. I want to find a job that will allow me to learn on the go, as I would do with a side-project anyway.
- gesman 14y agoGo to bed at 9pm, wake up at 6 and work 1.5 hours before work. And then you have weekends. Project idea: Create URL shortener in Ruby on Rails that works like tiny.cc (very useful). Then write in your resume that you have 1.5 yrs experience in Ruby on Rails. This is hot shit right now.
