We’re always hearing from our remote work community that one of the most challenging parts of looking for a new remote job is to NOT feel overwhelmed with the process. Looking for a job has many moving pieces: finding the jobs, tailoring CVs and cover letters, sending applications, following up with applications, having interviews, following up with interviews, and sometimes, tasks and tests. Just writing that was overwhelming!
Not being organized with our remote job search can make us feel tired, unmotivated, and even miss out on opportunities because we didn’t apply on time or we didn’t follow up on something. It’s so easy for details to slip through the cracks!
But it doesn’t have to be like that.
If you break down the process into smaller tasks, it’s way easier to focus on sending great applications and knowing what to do next.
So, where to start? How to make sure you’re doing what you can to stay motivated and organized when applying for remote jobs?
We created this doc as an answer to that!
Even if you’re not the most organized person, this pack will help you stay on track with your applications, follow up where you need to and, overall, land that remote job you want!
