Description

Remote job boards are a mirage, full stop.
With the thousands of "remote jobs" listed daily, you might think that your opportunities for getting a remote job are limitless. But it's 100% fool's gold. Once you start applying for jobs, you'll see that just finding legitimate listings is a job unto itself.
For starters, over half of job listings online are fake. Yeah, you read that right. If you've applied to remote jobs online, chances are you've submitted your personal information to someone harvesting data.
And if you do manage to find a legitimate listing from a company that isn't harvesting your data, there is a high likelihood that the listing isn't fully remote, meaning you can't work as a digital nomad. In the fine print you'll see that most "remote" jobs are limited to a very specific geography, like a specific city, state or timezone. They are listed as "remote", but what they actually mean is "work from home." Only 5% of jobs are remote, and only 1% of jobs are "fully remote."
It literally takes hours every day to sort through all this junk. It's a full-time job to simply find appropriate listings...then you have to do the hard work of trying to get an interview!
We at Beach Commute do all of this work for you on a daily basis and send legitimate remote job listings to your inbox every day. Get a week of remote job listings sent to your inbox every day, for free.
We do all of this screening work for you.
