Does Outreach Work for Remote Job Search?
Short answer, yes!
However, it often fails if not executed properly.
Can you imagine sending out 200 emails without getting a single response?
Frustrating!
That is because the effort you invested into sending the email did not match the result you are getting (zero response).
I have sent emails, messages, and DMs that were totally ignored (loads of them 🙂). I used to get frustrated and angry about how cruel these employers/clients were … I muttered something along these lines in my mind:
“You can’t even respond to a message. How hard could that be?”
Everything changed when I discovered I wasn’t giving them a reason to read it or taking the extra step to respond.
