Check out Remote Makers, a tidy new site featuring interviews with remote workers.
There are nine interviews on the site so far, mainly with designers and developers.
Each interviewee is asked how they found their remote job, and it’s interesting how many of them started off freelancing. Freelancing helped them develop their skills and build a strong portfolio, and contract work would occasionally turn into a full-time remote job offer.
So if you’ve been busy applying for remote jobs and not having any luck, try picking up some freelance gigs in the meantime. (You can use these 3 methods to find some.)
You could end up getting offered a remote job like Klare Frank, who wrote in :
I was completely thrilled. I felt like I had made it big time as someone who started with no design degree, no internships whatsoever and zero experience, and worked my way up from a practically no-name development shop to a well-known and highly respected local agency to a very well-known startup
