Find opportunities on LinkedIn and Contra
How to search, what to say and ways to get on the radar for the work you want.
You do not need to spend every spare hour looking for work. Start with a clear direction, a few useful searches and a small routine you can repeat.
This guide links to places to search. It is not a live vacancy feed, and inclusion does not mean SHE//BUILDS endorses every employer or listing.
Decide what you are looking for
Write down whether you want employment, a contract or an occasional freelance project. Add your available hours, location and the tasks you can demonstrate.
Pick two or three related search phrases. Depending on your skills, try operations automation, no-code builder, implementation specialist, marketing assistant AI or customer support operations. These are suggested searches, not a promise that matching roles are currently available.
Use LinkedIn Jobs to search by role and location. Read the responsibilities rather than relying on the title. LinkedIn supports job alerts so you can receive updates for saved searches.
Check the employer's own careers page too. An application may need to go through that site, and it is a useful place to check whether a role is still listed.

Contra
Contra has a job feed for freelance opportunities. Prepare a profile with relevant work samples and tailor your application to the client's brief. Check current access requirements and any costs on Contra before signing up for a paid plan.

Remote job sites
You can also explore We Work Remotely and Remote OK. Read each advert's location and time-zone requirements: “remote” does not necessarily mean you can work from any country or at any hour.
Check whether a role is employed or freelance, the expected hours, required experience and how applications are submitted. Follow the original employer's instructions.
Send an application that answers the brief
Keep your first message specific:
“Your brief mentions [task]. I have built [relevant example], which you can see here: [link]. My contribution was [what you did]. I would approach your project by [short, realistic first step].”
Adapt it to your actual experience. If you are new, say so and show a suitable project. Avoid sending a long list of tools without explaining how you would help.
Keep a simple tracker
Record the role or project, source link, date found, deadline, application date and next action. Include a short note about why it fits. You can use a spreadsheet or build your own small Base44 tracker.
Choose a routine that works around your life: for example, one short search session and one focused application session each week. Alerts can reduce repeated searching; you still need to review whether each opportunity is right for you.
Check before sharing details
Confirm the employer's identity through its official website. Treat unexpected requests for money, passwords or account access cautiously. Do not put real client data into a sample project or complete a large unpaid production task to prove you can build.
Your next step
Pick one role direction, save a useful search and prepare one relevant work sample. Start with the guide to jobs you could look for or improve the way you describe your skills.
