Stop Blind Applying! Do This Instead to Get Remote Work Faster
Truth remains.
Cold applying to 100 remote jobs is not a strategy; it’s a stress workout.
You’re not cursed, you’re not unlucky.
You’re just cold applying the outdated, slow way.
Cold applying is like throwing rocks at a locked door, hoping it opens.
But what if I told you, the real wins come from relationships and not just sending CVs?
In the online world, your next opportunity is not on page 5 of a job site, it’s in someone’s inbox, LinkedIn DM or community group.
Let me tell you ngwaneso, the game has changed.
And so should you.
Here’s the deal: instead of cold applying, start intentionally networking.
Get into some digital communities in your field (remote work Discords, LinkedIn groups, even WhatsApp circles) and just build relationships.
Participate in the conversations.
Ask relevant questions.
Use your learnings to help those conversations.
And instead of cold applying, you’ll warm connect instead, sending value-based DMs, engaging with someone’s content and requesting an informational interview.
This is not stalking, this is strategy!
And guess what?
People are more likely to recommend someone they know than some random applicant with a PDF CV.
Let them see the hustle and your digital footprint.
That’s your true application.
Action Mode: Stop the spray and pray.
Write a list of 5 companies you wish to work for, find the people who make decisions on LinkedIn and get engaging today!
Add value, show up and get noticed without an open invitation.
Why is it so dangerous to stay passive?
Because while you sleep, others will be connecting and captivating.
You don’t have to know someone at the top to start reaching out, you just need to be brave enough to reach out!
Remember, remote work it’s not about who knocks the most (it’s about who knocks right).

Apple's recent announcement regarding brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) opens up a new frontier in human-computer interaction, suggesting a future where devices can be controlled solely by brain signals. This visionary leap not only reflects technological ambitions but also raises significant implications for accessibility and ethics.
Apple unveiled its commitment to developing BCI technology that allows users to control devices like iPhones and Macs using brain signals, emphasizing accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
BCIs are systems that facilitate direct communication between the brain and devices, classified into non-invasive and invasive types, each with distinct advantages and challenges. While progress has been made, BCIs remain largely experimental, with few approved for consumer use.
Apple has a history of refining technologies for mass-market appeal, suggesting that its foray into BCIs could pave the way for mainstream acceptance if the company navigates the accompanying technical and ethical challenges effectively.
