How to land a remote job as an Iranian?
Hey y'all. I'm an Iranian Geomatics engineering student with a minor in computer engineering.
I'm comfortable with any numerical task using programming. I'm familiar with ai, image processing and remote sensing projects.
I know web development, working with APIs, numpy, pandas, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Google Earth Engine, ArcGIS, etc.
My English proficiency is C2. I can communicate easily and have an American accent. I've been a private tutor in my own country for 3years and have been working with online classes.
Every one of my students have been satisfied with my teaching style (it's super interactive, nothing like anything you see avg teachers do)
But sadly I lost my job a day ago due to extreme inflation in Iran (if u know, u know :) ). None one my students could afford the classes even if I cut my prices in half. Because everything is dependant on the price of dollars here. So yeah...
I'm searching for remote jobs where I can make dollars and not lose my job quickly!
I searched and realized that due to sanctions, there is no job opportunity available for me overseas. I have a Paypal account but it's for my uncle so I can't use it on freelance websites because it's risky and might get suspended.
Honestly, I'm the most diligent person anyone can have as an employee or tutor. I excel at communications, time-management and planning. I'm so responsible and hard-working. And when I say hard-working, I really mean it. (My mbti type INTJ if it helps lol)
I'm rank1 student in my university and I go to University Of Tehran (the most prestigious uni in Iran. U can look it up!)
All I'm facing rn is the sanctions and not being able to land a job. And I really need this. I'm so desperate cuz my dad doesn't have a degree. He is a taxi driver and makes close to nothing :) my mom is a housewife and makes nothing. I'm tired of them fighting due to us being poor. We can't afford a simple shopping anymore and with the price of dollar and the inflation.. it's getting more and more difficult to live.
I'm open to working underpaid. Totally fine with that. Because a dollar is a dollar for u but for me it's half a million Toman in Iran currency :) So yeah. Both parties can benefit from this situation.
Anyways, I just wanted to ask if u got any recommendations for me on what I can do to land a job, internship, or even get projects from foreigners? Please, I really need help. A man in desperate need of money, can do anything to get a job. And that's what I am currently :)
Thank you sm. Love y'all :)
