Remote Work Europe

Hello Reader, A subject that often comes up in our groups, is how difficult it is to get a job application even seen, with so much competition for each job. It's great because it shows just how popular remote work has become, but it has become a lottery with getting an interview, let alone getting the job. Europe’s remote job scene keeps shifting fast. Entry‑level remote roles now close in hours, not days. That makes intent, timing, and connections more important than ever. Maya’s recent...

Hello RWE community, Wildfires are hitting many parts of Europe this week. Spain, Greece, Portugal and others are battling fast-moving blazes during a harsh heatwave.

Hello RWE community, Apologies again for last week's unreadable email, and having to resend. I'd love you to think of that as the human side of remote work, and all-too-human it is, to mess things up from time to time...🤦🏻♀️So moving on, let's zoom out to the bigger picture a bit.

Hi Reader Maya’s just returned from Bulgaria, where she’s been exploring the fascinating world of remote and world schooling for a new feature. Parents there are choosing flexibility and taking full responsibility for their children’s learning journeys. It’s inspiring—but also a reminder. We may not all be homeschooling, but as remote workers, we are self-directing our education. There’s no HR department booking us on training courses. No annual development plan unless we make one. And no one...

Hi Reader This week Maya is in Bulgaria, I'm hoping it's a bit cooler there than Spain for her! She's there to write about a new community project called Ubuntu Hub, read more about it... 🏡 About Ubuntu Hub, Bulgaria Nestled in the picturesque mountain village of Obidim in Bansko, Bulgaria, Ubuntu is a vibrant community hub. The hub is designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and personal growth. Join their Facebook group here 🌱 What they Do Last year Ubuntu hosted a series of pilot...

Hi Reader Remote interviews can be awkward. Talking to a hiring manager over Zoom with a dodgy connection and your personal possessions in the background? It’s hardly ideal. But for remote job seekers, interviews are the new office lobby — and how you show up on screen makes all the difference. That’s why we’ve created the Remote Interview Success Toolkit, designed specifically for remote workers, digital nomads, and anyone looking to land their next role from anywhere in the world. 🌍💻...
