I am an out of work programmer, for reasons (lack of money) I have returned to the US, I need about 4-5 paychecks to cover future costs. I'm asking for advice on landing a remote jobs. Any resume tips for increasing chances landing data entry or similar? I have some experience working warehouse / factory-floor, but not 'enough' to get hired. Is applying online better or should I go directly asking for those jobs?

    Lie on your resume and practice/study interviewing, I did that my entire life and got lots of offers despite not knowing much about how to do the actual job

    DM me your anonymized resume and I can review it and give suggestions

    Open a LinkedIn if you haven't already and get the premium free trial

    Amazon I believe is almost always hiring in the warehouse cause it sucks and people are always leaving

    You might have to settle for an in office job if you're able to do it. I don't know how in touch you are with the US job culture now but companies are forcing people to come into the office again

        Sounds good

        If you're okay with revealing your identity to me, I can also refer you to my workplace after we polish up your resume and I confirm there are openings that fit your experience/skills
