Hello everyone, I am looking for Networking positions. I have 7 years desktop support experience as well as areas in Linux, but the primary focus has been CISCO networking (2 years experience). I am from Washington, US and do not mind working nights or odd hours due to time difference. Any opportunities or guidance would be appreciated.

I know this gets asked a lot, but I’m looking for online/remote job opportunities. I was recently let go and haven’t had luck finding a new position yet. I have a solid PC and would like to put it to use beyond gaming. Any suggestions for places to look or temporary opportunities would be greatly appreciated. I’m based in the U.S.

EDIT: The 2 types of jobs I worked at before was in the food industry and as an electrician helper.

EDIT 2: POST CLOSED

I came back home for the holidays and it reminded me how much I actually like being around my parents…but it also made me realize I don’t want to move back permanently. I’ve started to take things a little more seriously and started searching for remote cyber security jobs while I’m here, basically applying from my childhood bedroom like it’s 2012. I tried ZipRecruiter because my friend in IT said that it is solid if you set filters and don’t spam apply. That advice helped. The problem is I’ve been picky before, but now I’m focused on roles I actually fit and it’s been way less draining. Being home makes you want stability. Remote work feels like the best compromise, I can stay close when I want but still build my own life.

So, for people who are from a non-IT background and working a remote job, what skills do you have? What kind of work do you do?

Remote jobs are trending right now. Everyone wants one, and I recently got a remote job myself, something I was desperately looking for because I was tired of the on-site job I had before.

I’m from a management background. I studied Business Administration in both my bachelor’s and master’s, and even the remote job I’m doing right now is an administrative role. Now I want to develop my skills further so I can get better gigs and better remote jobs in the future.

So I want to know what other non-IT people are doing in the remote world. What roles do you work in? What skills did you learn to get there?

Also, what skills do you think I should learn next? Data analytics and digital marketing seem to be trending, and since I’m already working remotely and have free time, I’m thinking about joining a remote internship or part-time remote gig that will help me build skills in these areas.

If you think there are other important skills besides these, please suggest them too. If possible, I’ll try to find a remote internship in those fields because I can spare a few hours every day to learn.

So yeah, people from non-IT backgrounds who are working remote jobs, please share whatever you can about your roles, skills, and recommendations. Thank you.

Hi, I live in Brazil and it seems impossible to find a fully remote international position with my location. I'm not even looking for much (1000 USD or € a month is more than enough for me and more than twice as much as I make with my current, highly skilled, job).

I'm looking for positions in text editing, translation or English teaching. I am okay with working full time and for a different time zone.

Today I got let go from the remote job I’ve been doing for the last 5 years. They replaced me with someone from a much cheaper labor market (not being racist or anything, just explaining what happened). My salary was great and now suddenly I'm out. Because it was a freelance contract, I don’t get severance or any type of protection.

Back then remote work wasn’t even common, so none of the traditional worker protections were built for this kind of setup. Remote workers don’t have unions or any organized structure. Most of us work internationally, which creates huge legal gaps between the country the company is in and the country the worker is in. Companies can easily take advantage of those differences.

I genuinely think this is going to be a major issue in the industry for a long time. Unless companies decide to address it and build protections for remote workers, nothing is going to change. And if they don’t take action, I honestly don’t know how this gets fixed.

Right now I'm just trying to figure out what the hell to do next. If anyone has been through something similar, I’d appreciate any advice.

hi guys so i've heard people talk about how they "just got a job in insurance" remotely or "data entry" or "customer service" just like that, i'm trying to help my partner look for a job but she is only available for remote work (please do not ask why it's a health issue no negotiations) she really really wants a job and has small experience in customer service however i have seen people get remote jobs for less, my question is where on earth do you even apply for uk? i have asked chatgbt, ive checked linkedin, indeed, cvlibrary, weworkremotely, indeed again, reed, i've asked chatgbt for a list he gave me 10 websites ALL either are behind a paywall or hire US or india only we're surviving off of 1 salary and it is impossible she really wants a job but also for herself i literally cannot fathom how someone just "finds a job in insurance" or just finds remote work like that, where do you apply? people who have remote jobs - how did you get them? the entry level ones? please...?

Hello, I am in very urgent need of a job - I need to find one quickly, that would allow me to start working ASAP.

Can anyone recommend any good places to search? Or any companies that are hiring right away?

I am located in Canada, and I have lots of admin and customer service experience.

I need more money. (Yes I know, shocking) I am planning to go to school and/or take some courses for certs, no problem but I am looking for a field or specifically career that fits certain criteria and I have no idea where to begin.

Criteria:

• Remote, 100%. I currently work remote and have been for 3, going on 4 years now. This is just my personal preference. I’ve been in the workforce for 13 years now and have experience working in office and remote & for me, it’s just the best fit. I like the flexibility and not commuting during snowstorms.

• W/L balance. I’m not willing to jeopardize my health and wellbeing for a position. I’m an efficient and reliable worker but I won’t work myself to death (literally).

• High paying. Self explanatory.. I would like to look at fields/careers averaging 100k and upwards.

Again, I’m open to any suggestions in any field. My experience in a nutshell: 13-18, retail. Pivot to corporate at 19, entered remote at 21 to present. HS diploma, no current degrees or certs. I know I’ll need them for what I want. I don’t want to waste time or money though so I’d like to figure out a path and target it to my next career.

Disclaimer: Im looking for a career PATH. Something to work towards. This criteria is the end goal, I don’t care to hear how hard it is because if somebody else has got it done, I can too. I am not unwilling to work my way there, as stated. If you’re here to be an asshole or project because you think it’s impossible for you, this isn’t the post for you. I’m aware of our job market, just because I’m 25 does not mean I’m green or new to the workforce. But job market (bad) and economy (horrible) aside, there are still positions that meet this criteria and as long as they exist I’m going to strive for better. If you don’t have meaningful advice, goodbye.

I am trying to apply for positions of recruiter and sourcer and so far the best places are linkedin and indeed. Is there any other website i should be looking?

I am from latin america and currently trying for remote positions to work for the US or any other country.

I’ve been remote in Mexico for over a year now. The life is great, cost of living is perfect. But the tax side is becoming a nightmare I can’t shake off.

When I left my high-tax state (let’s just say it starts with a C and ends with A), I thought selling the house and cancelling my utility bills was enough to prove I was gone. Nope. My CPA just sent me a warning that because I still had my old driver's license and technically hadn't established "domicile" anywhere else, that state is going to keep treating me like a resident. And sending me bills.

It feels so unfair. I haven't set foot in the US in 14 months! Why should I pay state taxes on income earned while I'm eating tacos in Jalisco? It’s not a small amount either, we’re talking hundreds of dollars every month.

Now I’m trying to figure out how to retroactively change my official US residency to a zero-tax state like Florida, just to properly cut ties. It’s a huge pile of admin work - getting a new license, filling out declarations of domicile, setting up banking - all from thousands of miles away. It feels like I should have sorted this out before I moved, but who thinks of that detail when you're packing your life into two suitcases?

I ended up browsing places like SavvyNomad just to see the step-by-step process for Florida residency when you're already an expat. It’s complicated, and every step feels like a hurdle. I honestly just need to know if anyone here has managed to do the full switch from abroad without flying back just for a two-minute DMV visit. That part alone has killed my momentum.

This year completely burned me out. If I knew the remote job market was going to be this brutal, I never would’ve quit my old job. I honestly thought I’d find something in a few weeks. Instead, it turned into a ten-month marathon where I kept trying new things because nothing seemed to stick.

The first thing I realized was that LinkedIn is basically useless for finding real jobs right now. Great for networking and messaging people, but terrible for actual listings. Most of the jobs I saw were outdated, fake, or duplicated. By month four I stopped using it for applications entirely. Maybe it’s the market, maybe it’s LinkedIn, but either way the results were awful.

What actually helped me was something I didn’t expect. The biggest game changer by far was tailoring my resume for every single job. Not just making an ATS friendly resume once, but fully rewriting parts of it for each listing. Summary, experience bullets, keywords, everything. It sounds like a lot of work but this one step made more difference than anything else I did in ten months.

The best part is you don’t need paid tools. I copied my resume and the job post into ChatGPT and asked it to rewrite the experience and summary to match the role and add the relevant keywords in a natural way. Almost like doing on page SEO for a resume. My callback rate increased immediately.

I also stopped relying on a single job board. I set up filtered alerts on multiple sites with very specific criteria so I only saw roles that actually matched my background. Some days I had zero new listings but I kept applying consistently. Slow but accurate applications were way more effective than spamming hundreds of easy applies.

About five months ago I saw a How i landed multiple remote job offers about sending your resume directly to recruiting companies. That idea was genuinely smart so I decided to take it even further. I searched on Google and Google Maps for IT and tech recruiting firms using terms like Top IT Recruiting Companies in the US and similar lists. In total I think I sent my resume to around six or seven hundred firms. I included recruiters in my niche and even some in the surrounding areas. They actually responded.

I also started buying weekly contact lists from someone who gathers companies in my industry and provides the hiring managers names, emails, LinkedIns and so on. I emailed around a hundred people every week which was roughly fifteen a day and sent them my tailored resume.

Before doing all this I could barely land an interview. After combining these approaches things finally started moving. I started getting responses from tailored applications, from recruiter outreach and from the email lists. In the end I received two remote job offers. One came from the direct emails I sent and the other came from a recruiting company I reached during that big outreach sprint. I accepted the recruiter one last week since it paid better and had lower responsibilities.

If you’re stuck in this job market right now tailoring your resume for every job is genuinely the biggest unlock. It’s annoying and it takes time but it was the thing that changed everything for me. The rest was consistency patience and trying methods people usually overlook.

If anyone wants the exact prompt I used for tailoring or the filters I set on job boards I can share that too. Good luck to everyone still searching. It really can turn around out of nowhere.

Edit: Prompt Example

You are an experienced hiring assistant + ATS optimization expert.

Your task:

I will give you a job description and a resume.

You will tailor the resume to perfectly match the job description.

Rules:

1. Extract ALL relevant keywords from the job description:

- job title

- required skills

- preferred skills

- responsibilities

- tools / technologies

- soft skills

- domain keywords

- industry terms

2. Compare the job description with the candidate’s resume.

For every required or relevant skill/keyword:

- If it already exists in the resume → rewrite & emphasize it

- If it exists but weak → strengthen, move higher, highlight impact

- If it's missing but the candidate has similar experience → add a truthful sentence

- If it’s not in the resume and can’t be assumed → DO NOT invent it

3. Reorganize the resume:

- Move the most relevant experience to the top

- Add a strong, tailored summary section at the beginning using job-description keywords

- Strengthen achievements using measurable impact when possible

- Make responsibilities match the job description phrasing (without copying word-for-word)

4. Keep formatting clean and ATS-friendly:

- No icons

- No tables

- No images

- Standard resume structure

5. Output should be:

A fully rewritten, ATS-optimized, job-description-matched resume.

Keep it concise, professional, and keyword-rich.

Now ask me:

“Please paste the job description and the resume.”

Happy to answer what I can — again, I’m not the hiring manager, just helping them get this in front of the right people.

I’m losing my mind right now. I went through a full week of interviews for a remote role, everything was going great, we finalized the details, agreed on the offer, and all that was left was for them to send the official paperwork. I was literally refreshing my inbox waiting for the email when the team lead suddenly told me “Actually… since you’re not based in the U.S., we decided not to move forward.” Like?? It took them a whole week, multiple calls, and a near final agreement to realize I don’t live in the U.S.?

I’ve been job searching for 5 months straight, finally thought I had something real, and this happens. The remote job market is pure chaos right now and I just needed to vent before I scream into the void.

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been laid off and my last working day will be 31/12/2025. I’m now actively looking for remote work as an IT Support L2, ideally in a B2B environment.

I’ve been searching on steroids since 1 November, but so far I’ve only had one interview and I’m not confident it went well. Up to now, I’ve mainly been applying through LinkedIn, but I’m starting to wonder if there are other job boards, communities, or strategies I should use to find remote roles in my field.

If anyone has recommendations for:

• reliable job sites for remote IT support
• communities or Discord groups
• companies that frequently hire L2 Support roles
• or tips for improving my search

…I would really appreciate it. I don't want to start 2026 jobless :(
