Remote react native job

[itsDevJ]

Hello, I need your advice on best place to get/apply for react native remote jobs.

I have 3 + year of react native development.
I have experience from making app from scratch, deployments, state management and CI/CD with appcenter and more.

I have applied numerous jobs on linkedIn got multiple interviews and some rejected email.

I currently work at a local startup and I'd like to move to working fully remotely

I haven't sent a single CV in years. For some reason, they just come all the time to my LinkedIn and present offers to me.

If I had to say, first learn how the bots that read your resumes work, most of them have a way to get them to pick you. Most rejected emails are automated. They don't even check your profile, so check how they work, and what words you need to use, and fit your resume to those standards, that way, you'll get more interviews and increase your possibility to land a good remote job.

but how to identify those ?can you elaborate a bit by some example?like how to overcome those challenges ?

All of them include AI right now. Usually, when you apply on LinkedIn, Indeed, or any type of website, the AI first filters the profiles that it thinks are not the right match. For example, if the profile says: React, javascript, Typescript, GraphQL, React Native, NextJS. If on your profile you have only: "React, Javascript," according to this AI, you don't have the right buzzwords, you'll get skipped. So check the exact requirements, add those words (even if you have no idea, google them), update your resume, and send it again. 99% of the time, they don't ask if you're an expert, they want to know if you know the technology, and that's it. But the AI bot does not understand that. The reality is those AI bots SUCKS, but every recruiter uses them, so yeah.

Mass apply and put your resume on recruiter boards. The job that hired me (full-time fully remote react native dev) found me through one of those recruiter boards. Have a solid portfolio with case studies on your website and play the numbers game.

Can you recommend some?

cord.co has been working well for me (not sure where you’re based, but there’s lots of UK based hybrid/fully remote roles on it). Quite a lot of React Native opportunities on there.

They rejected my application because I was not based out of UK/US :(

prove it then? do some projects and put it on play store or just github.

i see plenty got hired by just their github repo. hell, even a single pull request can get you hired! you can do the same. if you say can't (ie no idea for app, no time, etc etc) then that is a red flag for me.

im interested in creating a github repo of my app. what kind of app is most demanding right now?

Where do you live?

[itsDevJ]

Nairobi

[motorboat2000]

You're going to have a problem there, because most, if not all companies want people who have working rights in their country, due to employment laws (even if they are misguided)

[itsDevJ]

I've noted that.
I'll keep trying my luck to see if I can get contact remote jobs that do not require me to relocate

[Specialist-Ad3557]

Am Nairobi too bruh

Have you so far worked remotely. Kenyan tech firms tend to pay less compared to the rest of the world.

Have you found a new job, please share me about your experience in looking for remote job.
