Remote Job Search Strategy on Reddit: Stop Applying, Get Offers
In today's competitive remote job market, endlessly applying to listings can feel exhausting and often ineffective. However, a new strategy shared widely on Reddit is changing the game. It helps job seekers stop the endless applications and start receiving real offers. Discover how this proven approach can transform your remote job search and put you ahead of the competition. This proactive strategy quickly went viral on Reddit, (post here) transforming months of job search frustration into numerous interview invitations. It highlights that taking initiative beats passively waiting for job ads. Though remote jobs aren't location-bound, many hiring companies are. Instead of generic searches, focusing on 'recruitment agencies in [city]' uncovers hidden job markets with unadvertised roles. This method applies to both remote and onsite jobs. For remote roles, targeting talent hubs connects you to virtual opportunities worldwide. For onsite positions, finding nearby staffing agencies via online maps and sending resumes directly speeds up the process. The job seeker behind this tactic compiled over 450 recruiter contacts and sent resumes straight to them. Using a professional resume platform, they scaled applications with one-click distribution to hundreds of agencies. Within weeks, multiple interviews and job offers followed. Now managing two remote jobs, they prove that a focused, hands-on approach truly changes the game in the competitive remote job market. Connect with Hundreds of Recruiters Effortlessly What started as a simple resume builder has grown into a powerful tool for remote job seekers. Rabbit Resume now features Resume Distribution service called Boost, a one-click solution that delivers your resume to hundreds of verified recruitment companies across the United States and Canada. Forget hunting down recruiter emails or wasting hours on repetitive applications. Boost delivers your resume straight to the people who matter most, sometimes even before the job is posted publicly. Get ahead with ATS-optimized resumes. Many qualified candidates never make it past automated tracking systems because these tools rely on strict keyword matching, specific formatting, and resume structure. Minor mistakes or unconventional layouts can cause your application to be rejected without human review. The ATS-hack feature is designed to bypass these filters by tailoring your resume precisely to the job description and industry standards. This ensures your resume gets noticed and moves forward to real recruiters, significantly increasing your chances of landing interviews. With this approach, you are no longer lost in the sea of applications. Instead, your resume stands out to both machines and hiring managers, giving you a clear advantage in today's competitive job market. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Shadow Unveils ‘Neo' Cloud PC with RTX‑Level Power
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Shadow has rolled out its Neo cloud PC tier, immediately replacing its Boost offering across Europe and North America. Priced from $37.99 a month, Neo delivers performance aiming at NVIDIA RTX 4060-class levels and is supported on fibre links up to 1 Gb/s. Powered by an eight‑vCore AMD EPYC processor clocked between 3.25 GHz and 3.8 GHz and equipped with 16 GB DDR5 RAM, Neo uses Nvidia's RTX 2000 ADA GPU—a server‑grade equivalent to the consumer RTX 4060 with 16 GB VRAM. It supports DirectX 12, Vulkan 1.3, real‑time ray tracing, and both DLSS and FSR upscaling, delivering up to 150 per cent higher frame‑rate in gaming and 200 per cent improved throughput in professional software over the previous Boost tier. ADVERTISEMENT Users continue to receive a full Windows PC environment, installable applications, mod support, peripheral compatibility, and operation across devices—including Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, smart TVs, and browsers. Existing Boost subscribers have been automatically migrated to Neo at no extra cost. The service launch highlights Shadow's intent to appeal to both gaming and creative professionals. In an announcement, Shadow's CEO Olivier Abecassis described Neo as its 'newest and most versatile cloud PC yet', capable of handling demanding workloads from 2K gaming to complex 3D editing. Since the company's original debut in 2017, it has expanded to serve over 700,000 users across 14 countries, and Neo extends that reach into gaming, B2B, engineering, architecture, and media sectors. Early feedback is largely positive. A player on Reddit reported a 40 per cent performance boost in titles like Kerbal Space Program, while some noted that resource-heavy apps like Discord could push the cloud CPU to its limits. Community comments suggest the CPU remains a potential pain point, with one user observing full utilisation 'when all I have is Discord, and almost ANY game open'. Pricing positions Neo competitively among cloud PC offerings. At $37.99, it undercuts some rivals while delivering hardware close to mid‑range modern gaming rigs. That said, sceptics argue that long‑term subscription fees may exceed the cost of a self‑built PC with comparable specs, particularly when factoring resale value and hardware depreciation. Shadow continues to refine its infrastructure. Earlier this year, the company referenced ongoing upgrades to backbone systems intended to support new service tiers—anticipating Neo among these developments. Its stated aim is to offer elastic, high‑performance Windows environments ubiquitously, with transparent monthly billing and no maintenance overhead. The service supports full SSD storage and up to 5 TB HDD, covering a wide range of user needs from game libraries to multimedia and professional projects. It also includes advanced features such as remote drag‑and‑drop transfers, multi‑monitor support, and H.265 streaming for low‑bandwidth scenarios. Cloud gaming rivals, including NVIDIA's GeForce NOW and Amazon Luna, have emphasised accessibility and platform exclusives. Shadow differentiates by offering a full virtual desktop, enabling mods, third‑party software installations, and extended workflows beyond pure gaming. Industry analysts view Neo's launch as a sign of the growing pivot toward cloud productivity among both gamers and professionals. The inclusion of an AMD EPYC CPU and server‑grade GPU suggests Shadow is targeting a hybrid user base, emphasising creative workflows as much as frame‑rate. Maintaining low latency via fibre and ensuring robust multi‑core CPU performance remain crucial to its competitiveness.

The fastest vanishing careers
Published on: Monday, June 16, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 16, 2025 By: K Krishnan Text Size: LAST WEEK we looked at the fastest growing careers. This week let us look at the fast vanishing careers. Some careers that were once considered stable and lucrative are disappearing at an alarming artificial intelligence (AI), and shifting economic demands are making certain jobs obsolete. Advertisement For students, youths, and even parents guiding their children's career choices, understanding these trends is crucial to avoid investing time and money in a dying profession. This article explores the fastest-vanishing careers in Malaysia and globally, why they are declining, and what future-proof alternatives exist. Jobs Being Replaced by Technology # Cashiers and Retail Sales Assistants With the rise of self-checkout kiosks, e-commerce and cashless payments (like GrabPay, Touch 'n Go eWallet and Boost), the need for human cashiers is shrinking. Supermarkets like AEON and Tesco are increasingly adopting automated systems, reducing the demand for traditional cashiers. Alternative Careers: Digital payment specialists, e-commerce managers, or customer experience designers. # Data Entry Clerks AI and software can now input, sort, and manage data faster and more accurately than humans. Many companies in Malaysia are using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and robotic process automation (RPA) to handle paperwork. Alternative Careers: Data analysts, cybersecurity experts, or AI trainers. # Telemarketers Robocalls and AI chatbots (like those used by banks and telcos) are replacing human telemarketers. Customers also prefer digital communication (WhatsApp, email) over unsolicited sales calls. Alternative Careers: Digital marketing specialists, social media managers, or customer relationship managers. Jobs Disrupted by Digital Transformation # Print Journalists and Newspaper Deliverers As news shifts online, print media is declining. Many Malaysian newspapers have reduced circulation or moved to digital-only formats. Similarly, newspaper delivery jobs are vanishing as readers get news from platforms like Malay Mail Online, The Star Online and social media. Alternative Careers: Content creators, digital journalists, or multimedia reporters. # Travel Agents With websites like Expedia, Agoda, and AirAsia's direct booking options, fewer people rely on travel agents. Even traditional tour operators are struggling as DIY travel planning becomes easier. Alternative Careers: Travel bloggers, digital nomad consultants, or experience curators for niche tourism (e.g., eco-tourism). # Bank Tellers Online banking (Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks) and ATMs have reduced the need for human tellers. Banks are now focusing more on digital financial services. Alternative Careers: Fintech specialists, financial advisors, or blockchain developers. Manual and Routine Jobs at Risk # Factory Assembly Line Workers Automation and robotics (like those in Penang's electronics factories) are replacing repetitive manual jobs. Even car manufacturers like Proton and Perodua use robotic arms for precision tasks. Alternative Careers: Robotics technicians, industrial engineers, or automation specialists. # Drivers (Taxi, Lorry, Delivery) While still in demand now, autonomous vehicles and drones threaten driving jobs. Companies like Tesla and Google are testing self-driving cars, while drone deliveries (like those experimented with by Pos Malaysia) could replace couriers. Alternative Careers: Logistics analysts, drone operators, or EV (electric vehicle) technicians. # Postal Workers With emails, e-bills, and digital signatures, traditional mail is declining. Pos Malaysia has shifted focus to parcel deliveries (thanks to Shopee and Lazada), but automation may further reduce human roles. Alternative Careers: Supply chain managers, last-mile delivery coordinators. Traditional Skilled Jobs Under Threat # Librarians With Google, e-books, and digital archives, physical libraries are less critical. Schools and universities are investing in digital resources instead. Alternative Careers: Digital archivists, information curators, or research analysts. # Typists and Secretaries Voice-to-text software (like Google Docs' voice typing) and virtual assistants (Siri, Alexa) are reducing the need for human typists. Many executive tasks are now automated. Alternative Careers: Executive assistants with tech skills, virtual office managers. # Traditional Printers and Typesetters Digital publishing and 3D printing are making old-school printing presses irrelevant. Even small businesses now use Canva and online printing services. Alternative Careers: Graphic designers, 3D printing technicians. What Should Students and Youths Do 1. Upskill in Technology Jobs in AI, cybersecurity, data science, and programming (Python, Java) are booming. Free courses on Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning can help. 2. Focus on Creative and Critical Thinking Roles Jobs requiring human empathy (psychologists, teachers) or creativity (designers, writers) are harder to automate. 3. Consider Green and Sustainable Careers Renewable energy (solar, EV), environmental science, and sustainable business are growing fields in Malaysia. 4. Be Adaptable The job market will keep evolving. Lifelong learning is key. Advice for Parents Encourage STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education but also soft skills. Support your child's interest in emerging fields like AI, digital marketing, or green energy. Avoid pushing them into 'safe' careers that may not exist in 10 years. Conclusion The job market is transforming rapidly, and some careers won't survive the next decade. By staying informed and adaptable, Malaysian students and youths can future-proof their careers. Instead of fearing automation, they should leverage technology to build sustainable, high-demand careers. For parents, the best support is guidance – not insistence on outdated career paths. The future belongs to those who prepare for it today. Note: What vanishing careers worry you the most? Share your thoughts with us at: [email protected]

Savannah Guthrie sparks pregnancy confusion with Jenna Bush Hager comment on ‘Today'
Whoops! Savannah Guthrie confused her 'Today' co-hosts this week when she seemed to suggest that Jenna Bush Hager had a surprise pregnancy announcement. The awkward incident unfolded on Monday as Bush Hager, 43, prepared to begin her Morning Boost segment. 8 Savannah Guthrie confused her 'Today' co-hosts when she seemed to suggest that Jenna Bush Hager had a surprise pregnancy announcement. Nancy Kaszerman/ZUMA / 8 The awkward incident occurred on Monday as Bush Hager prepared to begin her Morning Boost segment. TODAY 'Jenna's got a little something in the oven for the Boost,' Guthrie, 53, said before the camera cut over to the former first daughter, per People. 'Today' co-hosts Carson Daly, Al Roker and Craig Melvin were left scratching their heads over the baby news confusion. 'Wait, what?' Daly, 51, asked. 'Are you making an announcement?' 8 'Jenna's got a little something in the oven for the Boost,' Guthrie said. Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock 'Did you say Jenna's pregnant?' Roker, 70, added. 'I'm so excited for you!' someone else shouted in the background as Bush Hager started the segment. Guthrie then snapped at her male co-anchors as they tried to figure out what she meant by her 'little something in the oven' comment. 8 'Today' co-hosts Carson Daly and Al Roker were left scratching their heads over the confusion. NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images 'Stop that!' Guthrie barked. 'Stop that!' 'You guys,' Bush Hager added, 'I understood what she said.' But Daly, Roker and Melvin were not the only ones bewildered by Guthrie's remark, because some 'Today' viewers rushed to social media for clarification amid the baby announcement confusion. 8 'You guys, I understood what she said,' Bush Hager said. Today/NBC 'Bush is pregnant?' one person asked on Instagram. 'Are either one pregnant?' asked another, while a third commented, 'I'm confused.' Other fans slammed the show and lamented over Hoda Kotb's departure from the program. She left 'Today' back in January because her 6-year-old daughter, Hope, has Type 1 diabetes. 8 Some fans took to Instagram to lament over Hoda Kotb's departure from 'Today' earlier this year. NBC 'Can barely watch now that Hoda is gone,' one viewer wrote. 'Haven't watched since Hoda left,' added another, as a third commented, 'Bring Hoda back.' Although Bush Hager is not pregnant, she does share daughters Mila, 13, Poppy, 9, and son Hal, 5, with her husband, Henry Hager. 8 Bush Hager and her husband, Henry Hager, have three children together. AP As for Guthrie, she has daughter Vale, 10, and son Charley, 8, with husband Mike Feldman. Meanwhile, this wouldn't be the first time that Guthrie inadvertently suggested Bush Hager was pregnant with a fourth child. Back in March, during an episode of 'Today With Jenna & Friends,' the broadcast journalist said that she 'had a dream' that Bush Hager welcomed another baby. 8 Guthrie shares two children with her husband, Mike Feldman. WireImage 'I have nothing to announce,' former President George W. Bush's daughter responded at the time. 'I'm pretty sure I've come to terms that three, even though it's an imperfect number, is the perfect number for our house.' 'It's very normal,' Guthrie chimed in. 'I think they call it being broody. You're kind of broody for a third or a fourth.' 'I would have had a third in a heartbeat, but, you know, I was up against the clock,' she added.
