Are you a Filipino professional looking for remote work opportunities?
Finding the perfect remote job requires strategy and preparation. It’s worth spending more time on applications you’re interested in than spamming a bunch of applications.
We purposefully limit our talent to applying for a few jobs a day so our employers know every applicant is actually interested in the company. Here are some more tips:
Use Job Points Strategically
Use your job points wisely by applying them only to positions you’re most interested in. Applications with job points appear higher on employers’ lists, signaling your genuine enthusiasm for the role.
Don’t feel obligated to use points on every application—save them for your top choices. Staying active on the platform can help you earn bonus points for future applications. You mainly get these from referring other talent to our platform. In the future, we’ll add more ways of getting job points.
Craft a Strong Profile and Application
Create a professional yet personable profile that clearly communicates your value. Focus on highlighting your unique skills, relevant software proficiencies, and quantifiable achievements rather than personal details.
Maintain an authentic voice by using a conversational tone and avoiding AI-generated content. Always include a clear call to action inviting employers to contact you.
You can totally mention some personal things on your profile (to stand out further from other applicants), but the first glance an employer/client will notice are your specific skills and tools. To help you, read our VA Profile Description Guide.
Read Job Listings Carefully
Before applying, thoroughly understand all job requirements, responsibilities, salary expectations, and working hours to ensure the position is a good fit for your skills and preferences. Focus on quality over quantity—avoid mass applications and instead concentrate on positions where you meet the qualifications.
Sometimes employers ask you to mention a specific key or word when you apply. Although not really as common on HireTalent, it can happen.
Personalize Your Application Message
Write unique, thoughtful application messages instead of using templates. This demonstrates your genuine interest and helps you stand out from other candidates.
Don’t forget to include any additional requested materials, such as video introductions or skill assessments, which can significantly boost your chances.
Employers want to immediately see that you’re a skill fit. Mention specific things. If you want a higher chance of hearing back, relative to the ratio of submissions, only apply to jobs that have a match with your current profile.
Keep Track and Follow Up
Maintain a record of all your applications, including job descriptions and employer details. This organization helps if postings are removed or for future reference. Respond promptly and professionally to all communications, and prepare thoroughly for interviews.
After following these tips, you’ll significantly improve your chances of securing the right remote job on HireTalent.ph!
