Where to Look for Remote Opportunities: LinkedIn Groups
This week we look at a website called LinkedIn (at www.LinkedIn.com). I will publish next article on May 30th, 2023.
LinkedIn is a website helping people with their business and career needs. You may connect with other professionals and find your next remote job opportunity with LinkedIn.
LinkedIn groups can allow you to find remote opportunities and connections with professionals. LinkedIn groups are where groups of people gather in a particular interest area.
Boolean Search features in a Keyword Search
You can use keyword search to find LinkedIn groups.
You may enhance the search with Boolean search features.
The link below shows details of the Boolean search features that LinkedIn supports.
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a524335/using-boolean-search-on-linkedin
You can use Boolean search features to help focus your search.
When searching for remote opportunities with LinkedIn groups, you may be interested in two different interest areas.
(1) Remote Focused
Remove-focused LinkedIn groups provide information on remote opportunities and the remote industry. One way to find Remote Focused LinkedIn groups is the following way:
- Go to LinkedIn
- Create an account
- Create a profile
- Find the search box (on a computer laptop, the search box will be in the upper left corner of the screen.)
- Type in the word “remote”
- You will then get different search results
- You can narrow your search results to LinkedIn groups by using search feature categories. Search feature categories give you additional options to focus your search. Some of the different search feature categories are:
- Jobs
- Companies
- Products
- People
- Post
- Groups
- Services
- Events
- Courses
- Schools
- All Filter
You can use the “Groups” search feature category to focus your search results on LinkedIn groups.
- Your search results have LinkedIn groups have the word “remote” in them. Many of these LinkedIn groups may provide you with information about remote opportunities. When I played with this feature, I found about 5,800 results. You may narrow your search using words in your profession. For example, type “Remote AND Trainer” (AND has to be in all caps), and you will find results that have both terms “remote” and “trainer.”
(2) Professional Specialty
You can also look for LinkedIn groups by professional specialty. Look for LinkedIn groups that are in your profession. Professional Specialty LinkedIn groups focus on topics and opportunities found in that profession. You may find remote opportunities in Professional Specialty LinkedIn groups.
LinkedIn Groups–Evaluate them
Evaluate the LinkedIn group. You can look at the number of members and the group’s description. When you enter a LinkedIn group, you may want to “listen” to the group by reading the posts to understand better how the LinkedIn group operates.
You may find your next remote opportunity by looking at a LinkedIn group. A LinkedIn group may help you find your next remote opportunity.
Where to Look for Remote Opportunities: LinkedIn “#open to work.” Feature
This week we look at LinkedIn. The next post will be on Wednesday, May 17th.
We look at the “#open to work” feature on the LinkedIn profile.
Please be aware
The “#open to work” feature may not be helpful for everyone.
If you are employed and do not want your current employer to know you’re looking for another position, you may not want to use the “#open to work” feature. You may not want to communicate with your current employer that you’re seeking other opportunities.
What is LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is a social media site specializing in helping people connect with other business professionals and helping people find remote opportunities.
LinkedIn profile
One feature LinkedIn has that can help job seekers is the LinkedIn profile.
The LinkedIn profile is a specialized web page on the LinkedIn website where you can list your career-related information. The career-related information can include your:
- Career Interests
- Past/Current Employment History
- Pass/Current Educational History
- Skills
- Recommendations
- Publications
- Courses
- Honors/Awards
The LinkedIn profile is a bulletin board. The LinkedIn profile bulletin board can advertise to potential employers how you can contribute to their success.
You can let potential employers know you are interested in opportunities using the “#open to work” feature.
The LinkedIn profile gives you a circle profile picture of yourself.
When you use the “#open to work” feature, you can display a green bar with the white letters phrase “#open to work” on your circle profile picture of yourself.
You can communicate with the potential employer that you are interested in opportunities.
Here’s how to use the “#open to work” feature:
- Go to LinkedIn.
- Log into your existing account or create a new account.
- Complete your LinkedIn profile.
- Underneath your circle profile picture and a brief description of yourself, you will find an “Open To” curved circle box.
- Click the “Open To” curved circle box.
- You would then get a short menu of options.
- Select the option that says.
“Finding a new job: show recruiters and others that you’re open to work.”
You will then get another screen that says “add job preferences.”
You can put in the job features that you’re looking for.
Some of the job features can be:
- Job Titles you are looking for
- Start Date
- Job Type
- Workplace
Under the “Workplace” option, you can show an interest in a remote position.
At the bottom, you can select “All LinkedIn Members” if you want everyone to see that you’re looking for remote opportunities. You will then get the “#open to work” phrase to appear on your circle professional picture on your LinkedIn profile.
Where to Look for Remote Opportunities:: Potential Employer Websites
This week we look at company websites of potential employers to find remote job opportunities.
You may find your next remote job opportunity by looking at a company website for a potential employer.
Where exactly job listings are on a potential employer’s website can vary
Potential employers may list their job positions in different places on their websites. Some of the various places could be:
- “Career” section – A potential employer may list their job opportunities on their website called “Career.”
- “About us” (or another similar name) – A potential employer may list their job opportunities on their website called “About us” (or another similar name). You’re looking for this section on the website that will give information about that company.
- No jobs listed – A potential employer website may not have a job section on their website.
The advantages of looking for opportunities on a potential employer’s website
You may gain advantages by looking for employment opportunities on a potential employer’s website. Some advantages could be:
- You may find opportunities only listed on the potential employer’s website.
- You may find more opportunities listed on a potential employer’s website than in other online places.
- A job description may have more detail when listed on a potential employer’s website than in other online places.
- You may get a more updated list of job opportunities from the potential employer’s website than from other online places.
Remote-Friendly (And Other Similar Names) Companies
A potential employer may vary in the likelihood of offering remote job opportunities. You may increase the odds of finding remote job opportunities from employers that describe themselves as Remote Friendly. Companies may describe their Remote Friendly companies in other similar terms, like Remote Only and Hybrid. The article “Meaning of Remote Work and Relevant Terms” from Workplaceless.com gives different names of remote work-friendly companies. Details of the article are below:

People with body limitations (like back problems making it difficult to lift heavy items) may find the services in Vocational Rehabilitation helpful in your remote job journey.
A person may meet with a specialist who can help them with their remote job journeys.
Where to find Vocational Rehabilitation Offices?
You can often find a state government that will create a Vocational Rehabilitation web page that will give information about their state’s Vocational Rehabilitation services.
Check with the Vocational Rehabilitation office in your state to see what specific services your Vocational Rehabilitation office has and the specific guidelines to qualify for their services.
For those looking for a Vocational Rehabilitation office for your state, you can do a Google search (or some other similar search engine) and type in the word phrase “Vocational Rehabilitation” and then the state you live in. If you are searching on Google, type the phrase “Vocational Rehabilitation” in quotes so Google will search for the entire phrase “Vocational Rehabilitation” instead of two separate words of Vocational and then Rehabilitation. You can search for the phrase “Vocational Rehabilitation” in quotes makes for a more precise search.

You can also search for remote job positions.
Describe LinkedIn from my computer
I describe how LinkedIn appears on my computer screen. You may find LinkedIn resources appear different when you look at LinkedIn on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other devices.
Create a Profile
I recommend you create a profile to take advantage of the many resources on LinkedIn. You can create a profile for free.
Your profile is a computer screen in the LinkedIn system where you can give details about the professional you are. You can provide career information about yourself. You can determine what information you want on your profile. Details you could provide include current and past work and educational history and a list of skills you can offer to a potential employer.
Your profile may help you find your next remote opportunity. Ideally, a recruiter may find your profile and extend remote opportunities for you.
How to search for job positions
Once you have created a LinkedIn profile, you can search for job positions. You can do a keyword search to find job positions.
You can type in the keyword search box in the upper left corner of the computer screen.
You can type in a word or words related to the career you want to find.
Then you can start your search by pushing the Enter key
Ideally, you will then get a list of different job choices.
Click a job title to get a more detailed job description.
The job description will appear on the right side of the screen.
Job choices will appear on the left side of the screen.
You may have additional choices to adjust your search.
You may adjust your search by
- Geography Search Box–you may see a geography search box on the upper left corner of the computer screen.
The geography search box will be on the right of the search box you typed in your keyword search term.
You can type “Remote” to show Remote job positions.
Filter choices
You may adjust your search by filter choices.
The computer screen displayed the filter choices as a row above the job choices.
Some of the filter choices are:
- Remote filter–show if you want a remote, hybrid, or on-site job position. Remote means that you can do the job entirely from your home; hybrid–means you can do some of the job from your home, and some will be at an employer’s location. On-site means you may work at the employer’s site all the time.
When I looked at remote job positions, some of the job positions classified as “remote” appeared to be “hybrid” positions. The job description may not give you enough details to determine whether the job is completely remote or a hybrid position.
You may want to contact the potential employer directly to determine the remote arrangements with that potential employer.
- Date posted–You can search for jobs based on the date when the job appears in the LinkedIn system
- Experience level–You can search for jobs based on experience level. Some of the different experience levels can vary from intern to executive.

Other features
Here are some other features that may be useful for you:
- Posts–You can write posts about your professional expertise. You can show your knowledge and expertise in a particular area.
Sometimes some posts will also have remote positions described
Your posts can appear in front of your LinkedIn connection network.

- Learning (“in Learning”)–LinkedIn may have courses in their “in Learning” section that may help your career with data. You may have to pay a subscription fee to access some classes.
I would suggest a course called “Finding a Job on LinkedIn” by Oliver Schinkten. Oliver Schinkten is a staff instructor at LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is a general job site in many career fields, including remote ones. You may find your next remote opportunity using LinkedIn.

Indeed.com is so popular that Indeed.com has a #1 rating in the Job and Employment category in February 2023, according to SimilarWeb. (https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/jobs-and-career/jobs-and-employment/)

Remote interest
Type “Remote” in the geography search “Where” box to show interest in remote positions. You may then get a listing of remote job positions.
The job description may not give enough information for you to determine if the remote job position is completely remote or hybrid. Completely remote jobs are where you can work entirely from home; you do not need to go to an employer’s location. Hybrid job positions divide your work time by working from your home and an employer’s place.
Contact the employer directly to see if the job position is completely remote or hybrid if you are unsure after reading the job description.
How to find job positions
Here are two ways that you can find job positions on Indeed.com
- Keyword search–you can type words related to the job position you are looking for in the “What” search box.

Synonyms–synonyms are different words that describe a similar topic.
Similar Jobs can be called different names. For example, a “trainer” may also be called an “instructor,” “presenter,” or “teacher.” You can use synonyms to increase the range of job positions in the profession you are looking for.
Advanced Job Search Feature–Indeed.com has an Advance Job Search Feature that will give you additional options to search for job positions.
You may find the Advance Job Search Feature helpful in finding a position.
You can find the Advance Job Search Feature by doing a Google search for the terms “Advance search indeed,” or you can type in the following link below:

Searching by job title may give you a more focused search using the “with these words in the title” search feature.
