Advice for job hunting and finding hybrid/ remote roles?

Hey Random I know but I’m getting a little fed up for my current job and looking for something better paid and ideally remote or hybrid (work from home) problem is I don’t know where to start these days. Uploading my cv to job sites? Sending it to recruiters? Most of the hybrid roles tend to be kinda tech / marketing roles which j don’t necessarily have the right experience for. I’ve been to uni got a degree and all that jazz and have management exp just not sure what roles to look for that would suit me.

If anyone’s got any job hunting tips or ideas to find remote roles please suggest them x

CV library is a good search engine, as is "indeed".

Good luck OP, hope you find something.

Possibly depends on what you do and what field yr in.

I'd be looking at recruitment agents... Or going to company websites.

But my profession is more niche.

LinkedIn also seems a good place to go hunting ...

I agree. It really depends on your specific vocation or field of work. I work in information technology and previously found "Indeed" and "CV Library" the worst sites for my career search.

I usually rely on LinkedIn or specialist recruitment firms.

Agree with the above, really depends on what you do. My industry is 99% via specialist recruiters / contacts on LinkedIn.

I’ve never used any of those generic recruitment engines / sites so couldn’t comment.

But good luck - it can be draining!

I’m still not convinced you have a job Nero!

You should sign up for the Civil Service recruitment site. More and more of the jobs on there are advertised as mainly remote working

I’m currently in the job searching phase. I’ve kind of gone for the buckshot approach and currently utilise a bit of everything. LinkedIn is good but in my field, despite several of the job listings being similar roles but in different companies, the key skills they list, and may use to accept or deny an applicant, varies greatly.

CV Library or Totaljobs have got me some positive results too, recruiters will be alerted when new applicants upload CVs particularly if you match with a role they’re looking to recruit for.

Best of luck!

Job boards and social media sites. Also, lots of companies now use in house recruiters, so send your cv off to them, but also recruitment agencies that deal specifically in the roles you’re looking for. Make sure you add in what transferable skills you have in relation to the role you’re applying for.

Diversify. I found my job by searching my job title during lockdown - found it randomly on a company website and applied directly which meant I circumvented all agency fees

Whilst I won't pretend to know much about "retail management" I would suggest that you take up the free LinkedIn Premium offer for a month (remember to cancel because it's quite cost prohibitive), and use the advanced search and direct-messaging features, speculatively reaching out to internal recruiters and talent acquisition teams at, for example, ASOS, BooHoo, Sweaty-Betty, NEXT, ZARA, Ocado, Walgreens Boots, PepsiCo, Starbucks etc etc etc... ...

I still have to oversee and recruit for the household staff (plus the landscapers and the cavalry). That in itself is a full time job!

Agree with other Fabbers here. Indeed, is pretty good and a lot of employers tend to use it.

Is your CV up to date? If so, there's nothing wrong with a good old Google search and applying to the ones that you think suit you. You CV will usually make the rounds around recruiters anyway so they'll definitely call you if they're interested

If you don’t have a specific title/role you’re looking for, you’re probably best if speaking to an agency first. They may be able to get you temp work which will give you some exposure to different roles until you find something you have interest in

For what it's worth, I'd forget Indeed, CVLibrary etc. They are automated response sites just ticking boxes. Even if your application is suitable, it'll likely be assessed by a kid in an agency rather than the ultimate employer. Instead, do your own research of local companies and send letters of introduction, each personalised to the company and your own situation. Good luck.
