Update your résumé, tailor it for each role, set up alerts on major job boards, and network daily on LinkedIn. Apply to at least 5–10 quality jobs per week.

The first quarter (Jan–Mar) and post-summer months (Sept–Oct) are peak hiring periods. Apply early in the week for faster recruiter response.

Browse FlexJobs, Remote.co, We Work Remotely, Indeed Remote, and LinkedIn filters for “Remote.” Join niche Slack or Facebook job groups too.

Use trusted sites like FlexJobs or LinkedIn, verify company domains, avoid jobs requiring upfront fees, and cross-check with Glassdoor reviews.

Aim for 10–20 tailored applications weekly. Quality beats quantity—customize your résumé and cover letter for best results.

Most employers respond within 1–3 weeks. If you haven’t heard back in 10 days, send a polite follow-up email.

Recruiters search LinkedIn using keywords and filters. Keep your profile public, use skill tags, and enable “Open to Work.”

It indicates the company has current open roles and a recruiter is prioritizing new hires—apply quickly for best visibility.

Top choices: LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, Handshake (for students), and FlexJobs (for remote roles).

Highlight transferable skills, volunteer or intern, complete free courses, and show enthusiasm in your cover letter.
