👋 Hey friend,

Ever feel like every remote job you find is already gone when you apply? Here’s why that happens — and what you can do about it.

✦ Why Most Remote Jobs Are Gone Before You See Them

  • Remote roles attract a flood of applicants instantly, and you might only catch them after the initial rush.

  • Many companies post roles internally or share them with referrals first — public postings may already be days old.

  • Job board listings often lag behind the company’s careers page, meaning what’s “new” to you might be closing.

  • Some ATS pipelines fill quickly and recruiters stop reviewing new applicants, so late applications may never get looked at.

✦ What to Do Instead

✅ Track company career pages (not just large job boards) so you apply earlier.
✅ Use a tool like RemoteFront that updates jobs very frequently so you're first to see them.
✅ Focus on speed and relevance rather than trying to perfect every part of your application.

👉 Timing can give you a real advantage. Apply early, stay consistent, and use every tool you can to stay ahead.
