How to Run a Focused Search

Weekly routine
1

Set up job alerts on 3-4 boards with specific keywords (role + cause area + 'remote').

2

Join 2 relevant Slack communities and introduce yourself with your background and goals.

3

Follow 10-15 target organizations on LinkedIn; engage with their content weekly.

4

Create a tracking spreadsheet: org name, contact, last touch, status, next action.

5

Reach out to 3-5 people per week for informational chats (15-20 min max).

6

Build a 1-page portfolio showing problem โ†’ action โ†’ outcome for 2-3 projects.

7

Follow up every 7-10 days with something useful: insight, intro, or iteration.

Quick Tips

Lead with time zone

Include your location and working hours upfront to reduce back-and-forth.

Quantify your impact

Translate metrics into outcomes: uptime โ†’ hours saved; funnel lift โ†’ beneficiaries served.

Ask for a vibe check

Request a '10-minute chat' instead of a formal interview to increase reply rates.

Show, don't tell

Link to actual workโ€”a doc, repo, or case study beats any resume bullet.
