If you live in a big city and are fed up with commuting, an alternative is to look for remote work. But, there are problems with remote jobs.
Many people are chasing the same jobs.
There are fewer remote, salaried jobs.
These remote jobs aren’t offered in many segments of business.
The trend now is towards “return to office”
Finally, something that’s often overlooked – if you want to advance your career into positions with more responsibility and higher pay, face to face engagement with your team and management, is important.

A local job with a very short commute of 5-15 minutes, is an option, and very attractive to someone tired from long commutes, but unable for whatever reason, to pursue a remote job.
It used to be hard to find local jobs that are really closeby, because most of the job board industry doesn’t get granular when it comes to location. Job posts don’t tell you the closest office, the local hiring managers at these offices, or their contact information.
Things are changing.
My Jobscore has job postings that can give you some better work-life balance, from a shorter commute to and from work.
The My Jobscore local job boards have a 4 point plan to deliver the legitimate, salaried open positions that may be right for you.
Firstly we directly source jobs, from the hiring companies near you. We have multiple internal and external job feeds focused on local jobs.
If you did a search for “jobs near me” we’re hoping the results will lead you to one of our local job boards focused on cities and states, instead of everywhere.
Secondly, the same companies that have the local, open positions, are our job board sponsors, with direct links to all of their jobs and career pages.
Thirdly, and this is big, we are the only job boards that give you free access to your jobscore (powered by Geescore). You will see your score instantly for every job – this tells you which job to apply to. A high score suggests your suitability – now it’s time to research, customize a resume, network, apply and secure an interview!
Also, our sponsoring companies know your score, and if it’s high, will be very excited to connect with you!
Finally, the My Jobscore local job boards give you your “Proof of Awesomeness” an instantly generated, free downloadable pdf of your score for any job! Send the pdf in when you apply.
To sum up. the search for less stress in your work life doesn’t have to mean working remotely. You can go after a local job that’s nearby instead.
