Freelance gig Upwork. when you apply on LinkedIn, go the company website to apply or reach out to the Talent Recruiter. There are other job boards, but Upworks has served me well so far 10 Likes |

qtguru: Nothing from weworkremotely.com? I've had success from reddit. But that reddit na with sense. You have to lurk and contribute to relevant communities and bid your time. Two of us Nigerians were hired from reddit. My other two colleagues (Argentina and Latvia) na from reddit too 8 Likes 2 Shares |

airsaylongcome: The highest money I made from a client came from reddit, I was actually going to /r/DeadBedrooms until i saw a notification for /r/chrome_extemsions where I saw the client's post and applied and now, I've push an update to store and cleared all the previous bugs and improved performance for that extension. Sadly I don't know how to capitalize off reddit like that. it was a thing of luck and being prepared 3 Likes |

Bade007: Picking a scarce skill helps, what's your skill ? |

qtguru: Interesting. Like I said, it's not a platform that regularly advertises vacancies. But I've found out that a lot of small business owners are on many communities related to their businesses there. They may post a question about a problem that they are having there. Just being active, participating in the conversations and suggesting possible solutions gives you visibility to these owners. Most of the time when they have an opening, they just ask on the community and if you have been active, they are often open to offering the roles. I've turned down almost 4 roles from there (in my field) because the work hours clashed with my current role (I don't joke with my current role because of the level of flexibility they give) Upwork too has been somehow good with me. 4 Likes |

airsaylongcome: Hello, please how do I search for these communities? Can you please give an example of the keywords you use. |
Re: Other Than Linkedin, Please How Do You Get Tech Jobs by airsaylongcome: 12:32pm On Jul 01, 2023 |
frank417: It has to be communities related to your field. I'm a VoIP Engineer so I'm in r/voip, r/FreePBX and a few other very niche such communities |

airsaylongcome:Great. Just joined some react/nextjs and frontend communities. Made 2 contributions so far today . Na God go help person for this foreign role we dey find. |

frank417: Run am with sense. Don't dive into start asking for jobs. Give like 2 months of contributing, proposing solutions to problems posted there and just being generally visible. Some threads require a minimum karma before you can post. Me I used r/Nigeria to boost my karma. But be "careful" on that Naija sub. Dem no dey waste time permanently ban people especially if you wan dey form anti-LGBTQ 3 Likes |

Mine is mostly via referrals oh, that's why it's good to always grow your network. Just do the following: - Start attending tech events - Post your works across different platforms including WhatsApp status(You don't know who is watching) - Join communities and also contribute. I have gotten a gig here on Nairaland though it's just one. 4 Likes 1 Share |

A recruiter once share me this secret about jobs in linkeldn. According to him many times you see lot of applicants on a job doesn't necessarily mean they applied for it but some of them only view the job while others navigate to apply but doesn't complete the application. According to him linkeldn will show both those who apply and those who view the job as an applicant's. 4 Likes 1 Share |
