With many companies cracking down on remote work policies, it begs the question - are full-time remote employees more at risk during layoffs? Have you or anyone you know faced this situation recently? Article in the comments to find out more. #RNN #RecruitingNewsNetwork #Layoff #Remote

It probably comes as no surprise to remote workers that when layoffs occur, there’s an enhanced chance they're the first to be scrutinized. Not exactly an “out of sight, out of mind” situation, but pretty darn close! The advice for leveraging your chances of long-term job security at your firm? Very similar to what you always did while in the office, with just a few additions. You maintained regular contact with your team and manager, delivered top-notch work consistently and proactively sought additional responsibilities and solutions to challenges. You built strong relationships with colleagues. Demonstrating adaptability and flexibility in embracing changes showcased your value, ensuring you remained noticed and valued within the organization. Keep all of that up! In addition, make sure you actively participate in and are always prepared for virtual meetings and events. Put a little extra effort into making your achievements visible when updating your manager on your progress. Be proactive in seeking feedback for continuous improvement. Stay updated on company developments. Invest in professional development to enhance your skills.

Stop filtering your job search by "remote". Someone else is getting the promotion, salary bump, director level title, etc. because they didn't filter out the on-site roles. If you're looking for a step up in your career..something with "more opportunity for advancement", a better growth trajectory, etc. etc. etc....then you need to be willing to go into an office. I'm not saying that the job you're applying for CAN'T be done remotely, but the days of full time, remote-only jobs are QUICKLY passing away. You're backing yourself into a corner and potentially wasting years of career stagnation because you are only willing to consider fully remote options. There's a whole world outside your home office -- go find it. #recruiting #sales Follow: Christyn Williams

Brenda here. Deciding which jobs to apply for is tricky. First, you need to figure out if a job is remote, hybrid, or onsite--and what that means at that company. For some roles, you also need to find out if they can hire someone who lives where you do.

TECH LAYOFFS ☹️ If today is your 1st day looking for a remote opportunity! 1. Identify Opportunities Beyond 'Remote' Tags: ↳ Look for roles where your skills are a match, regardless of whether they're labeled as remote, hybrid, or onsite (a few of my last few roles were not advertised as fully remote). 2. Initiate Direct Communication:   ↳ Reach out directly to hiring managers of interesting positions. Personalized communication can set you apart. 3. Showcase Remote Work Viability: ↳ Present a clear plan on how you can be effective remotely, leveraging examples of your past independent and team-based successes. It’s about showcasing your amazing skills and experience and demonstrating how your physical presence won’t impact on your effectiveness. 4. Suggest a Gradual Transition whether possible: ↳ Offer a phased approach to remote work – starting with regular in-office visits, then gradually reducing them, showing commitment to relationship-building. If possible, offer to visit the office periodically – start with once a week, then bi-weekly, eventually moving to monthly visits when possible. Of course this will depend if it is in the same territory. 5. Leverage Multiple Platforms: ↳ Utilize job portals like Otta or simply LinkedIn which has had a proven value in my jobs searches in the past. Now I turn on to you my LinkedIn network!

Remote Workers More Likely to be Laid Off “News of layoffs continues to roll in. Among the latest: UPS announced Jan. 30 it is letting 12,000 employees go—mostly management and contract positions. The same day, PayPal announced plans to cut 2,500 jobs, representing 9 percent of its workforce. On Jan. 23, eBay announced 9 percent of its workforce—about 1,000 workers—would be laid off. While it’s not clear what percentage—if any—of those layoffs involved remote workers, recent data found that in 2023, fully remote employees were 35 percent more likely to be laid off than their peers who worked full time in the office or had a hybrid schedule. They also were more likely to be passed over for promotions (31 percent), according to Live Data Technologies. The Santa Barbara, Calif.-based company analyzed a sample of 2 million white-collar workers, split evenly between remote and in-office employees.” For more detail read, please visit SHRM@ https://lnkd.in/eSzquX_D

In the past 24ish hours I have seen a lot of two things: “I’m hiring! Know anyone interested in XYZ?” And “I’m starting/still going with my job search! Know anyone hiring for XYZ?” I love connecting people. If you are hiring or searching, comment below :) Here are some templates to get you started: “I’m hiring for X role, which is remote/hybrid/onsite with X salary and here is a link to apply [link]” Or “I’m searching for X role, in a remote/hybrid/onsite capacity and would love to connect with a hiring manager” Go wild!

Finding a remote job is so hard these days for people looking wfh. Everyone hiring wants wfo. What about the people who are talented and wants to work from home and take care of their family members. We can’t leave our old parents and shift somewhere else. We are working for them right?? They made us where we are today and we are just struggling to find a right job. Some people due to layoffs are jobless since more than 1 yr , what about their situation? Also most of the remote jobs are linked with MLM. Companies like Forever living products and many more. #helpinghand #share #whatmattersmost
