Hi there! There is a complicated question. I have been using several ways to find a job.

1)Facebook Groups. It's a little bit tough but I had some success there. Groups like Startups Jobs, Jobs in San Francisco, Remote Jobs in Startups etc.

2) Freelance Marketplaces. Upwork (upwork.com), Freelancer (freelancer.com), and Periodix (https://periodix.net/). It's a new service but helps me a lot already. I found this service in Reddit and didn't expect great results. But I found something reasonable for myself and be hired fast.

3) Linkedin. Recruiters write me every day.

4) Local Websites. I check every day local job boards to find a local project. Because it seems faster to be hired.

Yes, recruiters write me on LinkedIn also but usually hunting me to the full-time positions.

Facebook groups - good idea, thanks I'll check them but I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to define those groups and to find a good job there. What is your experience there?

Thanks for Periodix, looks like something interesting - I've already signed up and it shows pretty good jobs matches for me. Will see if will land a job there soon.

I mentioned in Linkedin Tagline that I'm open only for Freelancing Positions or Part-Time Remotely. So, I suggest you do it too.

On Facebook Groups, you faced competition and sometimes clients don't reply to you because Messanger doesn't show you mails not from your friends. They are hidden. So, I don't like it much.

I like the idea about the LinkedIn Tagline, thanks!
