When I was looking for a remote job in 2023 and 2024, I randomly submitted applications through LinkedIn and Indeed as a Plan B. Every remote opening gets hundreds of applications in a couple of hours. I heard crickets.

My plan A was as always using my network and targeted outreach to a companies where I had specialized experience and expertise (no full stack development is not specialized). I had multiple offers quickly in 2023.

All that to say, if your strategy is to just randomly apply for jobs and hope to stand out among literally thousands of applicants worldwide, you have already lost.
