Resources for Remote Work

over 8 years ago from Timothy McKenna, Design Consultant, Host of Signal337 podcast

I recently went through a full time job search as my freelance work has either dropped, went on retainer, or reworked our contracts for much longer periods of commitment. Safe to say, my freelance income has shrunk a bit. After a few months of searching, I found a nice in-house position that gives me a lot of freedom and fits nicely with freelance work. During my job search I was very interested in working remotely and I wanted to share the resources I found for remote work. I'd love to see what other resources exist out there as well.

  Wow. That is an impressive resource. Way more then just job boards, but really great in-depth resources and tools. This is going in my bookmarks. Thanks a ton!

Yonder is a conference (for 2 years running) with sessions specifically about remote work and distributed companies.

  Now this is the first conference where I am seeing remote work opportunities being presented. A lot of the WordCamps I've been to on the east coast have been either local or relocation options and other design or tech conferences I've attended have either been more like lecture series or classes. This is pretty cool to see happen at a conference on how to work with a distributed teams. I'd love to see this happen out my way.

I am bit surprised that you didn't list www.itflow.biz which is the biggest out of all you have listed...

  This is an impressive resource. This is way more useful than Indeed for remote positions. Thanks for sharing!

  This is very cool. I'm based in the US and I didn't even think to look at international resources. It makes me wonder how many remote workers are working for a company in another country. I wonder that works with time zones and overlap. If I took on remote work for a firm say in Dublin, and I live on the east coast of the US...what would that relationship look like. I guess it's all relative and unique in each case, really. I dig the name Unicorn Hunt. With some of the work I have seen in my area...many don't want a Unicorn, they want a Chimaera.
  Great resource, thanks for sharing!

I built Working Nomads around a year ago to pull all the remote jobs out there into one platform. You should check it out :)

    Thanks :) It's been a cool little project. Helped me develop a lot of new skills, especially my coding ability.
