Ask HN: How do you find remote jobs?

[vijayr]

I've been trying, no success so far. I'd even be happy with a part time remote job (10-20 hours a week). Where do you find those? And how?

I made an aggregator for remote jobs here: http://remoteok.io

I wish there was a simpler answer, but a good way (which I've seen posted several times here) to get remote jobs is via referrals or word of mouth.

My first job was to build a simple website for small business a couple of years ago, and now I get calls for things like sharepoint deployments and ecommerce sites. At the moment I have more than I can handle and have to turn down gigs.

You've got to build a reputation with your first project and sell yourself hard.

Hi,

What programming language do you use for sharepoint deployments and ecommerce sites?

Thanks

Beyond applying via job boards, what else have you been doing so far? Please be specific, perhaps we can offer some job search suggestions you've overlooked.
