1 Update your online presence

Before you start reaching out to potential employers, contacts, or mentors, make sure your online presence reflects your personal brand and career goals. Update your LinkedIn profile, resume, portfolio, website, or any other platform that showcases your work and achievements. Use keywords that match your target industry, role, and skills, and highlight your accomplishments and value proposition. Also, check your privacy settings and online reputation, and remove or hide any content that might harm your image or credibility.

Don't just simply update things- although do that too- get your mindset right! Before you even launch a full job search, really get clear about what you want to achieve in your search, outside getting a new job, and who are the folks that can help you get there. Be intentional with your time and energy and consider how much you want to invest in updating things like your resume or LinkedIn vs. how much time you should be investing in networking with people. Time is finite, get clear with your goals, create a plan for success, and then start updating and elevating your online presence.

2 Use multiple channels

Don't limit yourself to one channel or platform when it comes to networking and job searching remotely. Explore different options and opportunities that suit your needs and preferences. For example, you can use LinkedIn to find and follow relevant companies, groups, and influencers, and engage with their posts and content. You can also use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or other social media platforms to share your insights, opinions, and work samples, and interact with your network and industry leaders. Additionally, you can join online communities, forums, blogs, podcasts, webinars, or newsletters that relate to your field and interests, and contribute to the discussions and learning.

I often find the best use of time when applying to jobs is to go to the employer website directly. It shows the employer that you were intentional with applying to their company and are a little more serious than a quick apply button on a big platform. The more personal you can make your job applications (think about writing cover letters), the better. It takes more time to fill out an entire employer application vs. a quick apply and not many applicants are willing to put in that time, but that might be the difference to getting your application materials actually seen!

3 Be proactive and strategic

Networking and job searching remotely requires more initiative and planning than in-person interactions. You have to be proactive and strategic in reaching out to people and creating meaningful connections. Start by identifying your networking goals and objectives, and then research and target the people who can help you achieve them. Don't just send generic messages or requests, but personalize them and explain why you want to connect and what value you can offer. Follow up with your contacts regularly, but respectfully, and keep track of your communication and progress. Also, be prepared to adapt to different communication modes and tools, such as email, phone, video, or chat, and use them effectively and professionally.

4 Build trust and rapport

One of the biggest challenges of networking and job searching remotely is building trust and rapport with people you don't meet face-to-face. You have to overcome the barriers of distance and technology, and establish a genuine and positive relationship with your network and potential employers. To do that, you need to be authentic, respectful, and courteous in your communication and behavior. Show interest and curiosity in the other person, and listen actively and empathetically to their needs and concerns. Share relevant and useful information, resources, or referrals, and offer your support and assistance. Also, be respectful of their time and availability, and avoid being too pushy or demanding.

In my role building trust means carefully guarding private or personal information. Moving towards solutions or improvements is a complex joint process and it takes time.

5 Leverage your existing network

While it is important to expand your network and reach out to new people, don't forget to leverage your existing network and maintain your relationships with them. Your current or former colleagues, managers, clients, mentors, friends, or family members can be valuable sources of information, advice, referrals, or opportunities. They can also vouch for your skills, character, and performance, and help you stand out from the crowd. Reach out to them and let them know about your situation, goals, and needs, and ask them for their feedback, guidance, or support. Also, keep them updated on your progress and achievements, and express your gratitude and appreciation.

My best advice for leveraging your network is to be specific in your asks of them! How can they best support you? What action can they take that is within their control? When do you need their help? When you reach out, give folks a few different ways to help from resume reviews to simple networking chats that keep your energy and motivation up. Tell them you want to chat in the next week- does Friday at noon work? Be specific and actionable! Also know that not everyone can hire you or works for a company you want to work for, so think creatively on how they can best support you. And be grateful for the support you do receive.
