#ExpensiveCities - Worker Migration

[burbuja0512]

I started applying for jobs in February and right now I have four very strong potential leads.  Only one of my potential jobs actually said "remote," but all of them are aware that I require a remote position.

Congrats!

I agree, when I looked, it seemed like many remote jobs are only available to people in mid-career. Not entry-level. For me personally, this is one of the things that has been a hurdle, since I can't really get the entry-level in-person experience due to health, but I'm trying to work around it.

Any way that you can make yourself look a little bit more mid-level?  Sometimes prior jobs that are unrelated actually do have many related tasks.   It can be possible to thread together unrelated items on a resume and have them make sense... and make you look more experienced.

Just a thought...  send me a pm if you ever need me to look at your resume.    (Ha ha ha ha.... can you tell that I have wrapped up my consulting work and now just waiting for the new job thing to work out?   I am a little bit bored!)


Regarding the health thing... it's another REALLY good reason why today's employers need to get with the picture and encourage remote work.    Employers are always complaining about a lack of talent, but the reality is that if they modified their hiring practices, and embraced remote workers, some amazing talent would pop up that perhaps couldn't make it into an office due to health or other personal issues.
