Choosing the Right Employer - Aligning with Your Vision and Goals
The rise of remote work has unlocked opportunities around the world, allowing professionals to work from anywhere. However, to achieve career satisfaction and success, it is crucial to find an employer whose vision and goals align with your own. This blog will guide you through the process of identifying an employer that fits your needs and experience and provide tips on creating the perfect profile using Joberty’s Perfect Match system.
Understanding Your Vision and Goals
Before you begin your job search, it's important to have a clear understanding of your career aspirations and personal values. That can be understanding anything from how flexible you are with your time, what market you want to work for, how important teamwork is to you, and what benefits are you expecting. Identify the type of company culture and leadership style that will best support your goals while working remotely. A thorough self-assessment is essential to finding the right fit.
Researching Potential Employers
Finding information about remote companies can be challenging, especially if they are located in another country. Using online resources and sites like Joberty, which gather employee reviews about potential employers, can be incredibly beneficial. Analyze employers’ mission statements, core values, and commitment to remote work. Look for companies that resonate with your professional goals and personal values.
A strong, supportive remote work culture is important for success. During your research, look for signs of effective remote leadership, such as transparent communication and healthy support systems. Try to get in contact with current and former employees to gain insights into the company's work environment.
The Interview Process
When interviewing potential employers, ask targeted questions about the company's goals, remote work policies, and team dynamics. Evaluate how well their responses align with your vision and goals. Assess their commitment to remote work and the support they offer remote employees. Additionally, inquire about their communication practices, collaboration tools, and strategies for maintaining team cohesion.
Red Flags to Watch For
It is important to be open and observe during the interview calls. It might be harder to see what the company is all about, so being cautious of vague answers during interviews, can help you in seeing how transparent they will be. Poor reviews related to remote work management, and inconsistent company values are also things to look out for. These can be indicators of a misalignment with your own goals and vision.
Creating a Perfect Profile with Joberty's Perfect Match System
We all know that all this in theory is easier said than done. Sometimes it can take months to find a job you are truly passionate about. But, it also doesn’t have to be that painful or long. Nowadays, there are tools that can help you match you with the company that is looking for exactly what you have. One of them is Joberty’s AI Perfect Match System. To increase your chances of finding the ideal employer, all you have to do is create your profile in three steps, giving details about your experience and needs.
Here’s how to make your profile outstanding:
Step 1: Basic Profile Information Start by adding your personal details and choosing whether to upload your CV, provide your LinkedIn URL, or both. Keep both your CV and LinkedIn profile updated and consistent to avoid confusing employers. Include both for the best results.
Step 2: Showcase Skills and Experience List your job title, seniority level, and years of experience. Highlight relevant skills and your tech stack. If you have team leadership experience, make sure to mention it as it can set you apart from other candidates.
Step 3: Set Your Job Preferences Specify your salary expectations realistically—refer to the Explore Salaries page if unsure. Indicate your desired job title to reflect roles you’re interested in, not just your ultimate career goals. For remote work, list your preferred remote locations as Remote (Country).
By following these steps, you'll increase your visibility to potential employers who align with top remote job opportunities, and with your career aspirations.

Making Your Decision
All the companies you match with will get a notification about you. Your personal information will be hidden but your work experience will be visible to them. If they decide to proceed they will have an option to request to meet you. Keep an eye on your meet requests. You never know if companies like Rivian, Infobip, IBM, Fivetran, or Endava spot your profile and want to meet you.
Now is your turn! If you say yes, your personal info will be revealed and you will get an invitation for an interview.
Make sure to trust your instincts and consider the long-term impact on your career. If offered, take advantage of a trial period to better understand the work environment before making a final decision.
