Strategies to Use in Finding Virtual Jobs

December 7, 2015

When looking for a job in the virtual world, it’s not always easy to secure employment. Luckily, we’ve got some tips and strategies you can use to find not just great virtual jobs, but well-paying clients too!

Have a Business and a Promotion Strategy

Think about the tasks and services you can offer, what hourly and project rates you would like to charge, and who your ideal employer would be. Once you create a list of your ideal job elements, it will be easier to start looking because you will already know what you do and don’t want in a position.

Network Locally

Let everyone know that you are seeking employment in a virtual business. Head out to networking events, visit the local Chambers of Commerce, tell friends and family. Put it out there to everyone you meet exactly what you are looking for.

If You’re not Online, Get Online!

If you want to get a virtual job, you need to be where the virtual businesses are! This could be as simple as updating your Facbeook, Linkedin and other social media profiles to let the internet world know that you are seeking employment, or you might need to create a website with proof that you know how to do the job you seek.

Start Writing

Whether it’s on your own site or on other people’s website- start creating content that builds your reputation as an expert in the field you are seeking employment in. Update your resume, add finesse to your bio and work on potential cover letters you could send to companies seeking work.

Go to Online Job Boards

If you are struggling to find a virtual job with the above methods, it may be time to look at online job boards such as Upwork, Monster and Career Builder.

Hopefully, you will find something soon. If not, you may just need to pitch yourself for odd jobs to individual clients here and there. Good luck in landing your virtual job or jobs!
