(FULL) The Remote Job Search Protocol - Your Job Application Tracking System

Structure and clarity for today's remote job search.

Welcome to The Remote Job Search Protocol — Full.

This is a complete Notion workspace that brings your entire job search into one place—without turning it into another source of stress.

Job searching is already noisy and emotionally expensive. The goal here is simple:
structure the chaos, keep everything out of your head, and help you move through the process with clarity.

What this is for

This workspace is designed for:

• remote and international job seekers
• people applying to multiple role types at once
• anyone overwhelmed by today’s hiring systems
• people who want to reduce noise and arrive at clarity faster

What’s inside (Full)

1) How to Use This Tracker
A short guide to help you use the system without burning out or overthinking it.

2) Remote Job Search Tracker (Notion)
Track applications, opportunities, statuses, and notes—without spreadsheets or scattered tabs.
Use it to see what you’ve applied to, track waiting/rejection/silence, and keep everything organized.

3) Finding Real Opportunities (Boolean Search)
A practical method for using search operators + career pages to surface better roles—especially when job boards are saturated.
Use it to bypass “Easy Apply” noise, find roles before they’re flooded, and reduce scam exposure.

4) My 6-Step Remote Job Search Flow (+ 2 bonus items)
A clear method that reduces information overwhelm and helps you filter out what doesn’t fit—before you spend energy applying.

5) “Where to Look” Resource List
A curated list of places to search beyond the usual suspects, so you have more options than you think.

6) Scam Signals Checklist
A simple training tool to help you spot red/yellow flags and verify legitimacy before you proceed.

7) Protocol Updates (Changelog)
All updates are documented so you can stay informed as the system evolves.

8) Terms & License (Light Legal Stuff)
Clear terms so you know what’s allowed (and what isn’t).

If this workspace helps you feel a little less overwhelmed, it’s doing its job.

Aminah's Soft Love Note:

Silence, it happens, and rejection is often automated.
Location constraints are REAL.

This protocol won’t remove uncertainty, but it can take the burden of it off of you.

If it helps you breathe a little easier, it’s doing its job.

TRJSP is one of my personal favorites. I can attest to the messy ball of yarn that is the mental load of job searching, being unraveled into a neat, anti-overwhelm, practical tool.

Hopefully you'll experience that phenomenon, too.

Want the lighter version?

If you prefer the guide-only version (flow + 10 Boolean searches + tips), grab TRJSP — Lite.
