It is incredibly hard to get the first remote job, let's fix it.

My girlfriend is struggling to get the first client for video editing services for a couple of weeks already. She is looking for someone with the youtube channel who would like to outsource editing work. She is quite ready to do it with super low charge or even without payment at all to build a portfolio and experience. It's super stressful when you change career completely.

My father (59 years old living in the village in Ukraine) was struggling to find something remote where he can earn some money. He has found recently test.io, where he does QA job now. The entry barrier was super transparent. Pass a quiz, find 3 test bugs on sites like nike.com and you are accepted to work on real cases and start earning money. First 6 EURs earned felt like a miracle.

I'm looking for a solution to this problem. We, as founders would benefit from an extra pair of hands. And many people would be extremely happy having a chance of getting a first remote job.

Think about what can you offer, or if you know a nice opportunity.

I've got a domain http://firstremotejob.com, which points to a google spreadsheet which we can populate and help many-many people.
I will convert it to a convenient match-making platform if it gets good traction.

Please go to http://firstremotejob.com and help people to find the first remote job. Describe a job or a gig or a project you can offer. If you know more opportunities like test.io fill it there as well.
