CANCELLED LINKEDIN. CANCELLED UPWORK. CANCELLED HOW PEOPLE USUALLY FIND REMOTE JOBS.

People are quietly landing remote jobs without applying all day.

Here are 12 prompts they don’t talk about:
1/ The "Problem Hunter" Prompt (Twitter/X or Threads)
Stop saying "I'm looking for work." Instead, post this:

"I’m looking to help 2 [Niche] companies solve [Specific Problem, e.g., high churn or slow page loads] this month. If you’re struggling with this, DM me, I’ll send over a free 5-minute audit of your current setup." Why it works: You move from 'supplicant' to 'specialist.'
2/ The Slack "Value Loop" Prompt
Join industry-specific Slacks (like Superpath for content or ProductLed for PMs). Don't check the #{jobs} channel first. Use the search bar for "does anyone know how to..." then reply:

"I saw you were struggling with [Topic]. I handled a similar transition at my last role using [Specific Tool]. Happy to jump on a quick 10-minute Loom to show you the workflow if it helps!"
3/ The "Reverse Recruitment" Prompt (Cold Email)
Find a company you love that isn't hiring for your role. Email the Head of Department:

"I’ve been tracking [Company]’s growth in [Market]. Usually, at this stage, [Specific Bottleneck] starts to happen. I built a system at [Previous Co] that automated 40% of that. Are you open to a brief chat about how we could implement something similar for you?"
4/ The "Tool Expert" Prompt (Community Forums)
Hang out where the tools of your trade are discussed (Discord, Discourse, Reddit).

"Just figured out a workaround for [Common Software Bug/Limitation]. It saves about 5 hours of manual entry a week. Here’s the step-by-step: [Link to Guide/Video]." Recruiters lurk in these forums looking for the people everyone else is asking for help.
5/ The "Portfolio Roast" Prompt
Go to a community of peers and ask:

"I’m rebuilding my portfolio to target [Specific High-Value Industry]. If you were a founder in that space, what’s the one thing you’d need to see to trust me with your [Project] immediately?" This often triggers: "Actually, I need help with that right now."
6/ The "Unfilled Role" Prompt
See a job post that's been up for 30+ days? It’s a "stale" lead and your best friend.

"Hi [Name], I noticed this role has been open for a while. Often that means the 'perfect' candidate doesn't exist on paper. I specialize in [Skill A] and [Skill B] if you're open to a fractional or project-based start to bridge the gap, let's talk."
7/ The "Alumni Loop" Prompt

"Hey [Name], I’m a fellow [University/Course] alum. I’m moving into [Niche] and noticed your team is doing incredible work there. I’m not looking for a referral, I just want to know what the 'non-negotiable' skill is for someone joining your department right now." 9 times out of 10, they offer to pass your CV along anyway.
8/ The "Curated Newsletter" Prompt
Subscribe to niche newsletters (like Remotive or We Work Remotely). When they feature a "Company Spotlight," reply to the newsletter author:

"Great feature on [Company]. I actually specialize in [Role] for that specific industry. Do you happen to have a point of contact there, or should I reach out cold?"
9/ The "Podcast Guest" Prompt
Listen to a podcast where a founder in your niche is interviewed.

"Hey [Founder], loved your point on [Specific Episode Moment] about [Topic]. I actually implemented a version of that at [Co] and found that [Insight]. If you’re ever looking to scale that department, I’d love to share my data with you."
10/ The "EOR Search" Prompt
Search for companies using "Employer of Record" services like Deel, Remote, or Oyster. These companies are built for global remote hiring.

"Hi [Recruiter], I saw [Company] uses [Deel/Remote] for their international team. As a [Role] based in [Country], I’m already set up for this workflow. Are there any upcoming openings for [Department]?"
11/ The "Beta Tester" Prompt
Find a startup in "Stealth Mode" or early Beta.

"I’ve been testing your tool and noticed [Specific UX/Technical Issue]. I’m a [Role] and I’d love to help you polish this before the big launch. Do you have room for a part-time contributor?"
12/ The "Future-Proof" Prompt

"I’m currently focused on [Emerging Skill, e.g., AI Implementation]. I’m looking for one 'lighthouse' project to showcase how this transforms [Industry]. If you’re interested in being that case study (at a reduced rate), let’s connect."

I FOUND MY DAD'S PROMPTS FROM 1985.

He was a programmer writing code comments (basically prompts for humans).

His 40-year-old rules DESTROYED my modern prompts.

Here are 7 old-school principles that still dominate:
1 | "Write For the Dumbest Person in the Room"

Dad's rule (1985): "If the intern can't understand your comment, rewrite it."

My modern prompt: "Explain blockchain"
His style prompt: "Explain blockchain to someone who thinks the internet is magic"

His version won. Every time.
Old wisdom: Clarity beats cleverness
2 | "State Expected Output First"

Dad's code comments: "OUTPUT: sorted list of 10 items"
Then explained how.

My prompt: "Help me create a list..."
His style: "Generate exactly 10 items, alphabetically sorted. Here's the criteria..."

Why it works: Brain knows the target before the journey.
Old wisdom: End goal → Then path
