Great developers go through a discovery phase to determine the most effective way to approach a buildout.
Similarly, we recommend going through a discovery phase of potential clients before applying for a job. In other words, don’t just limit yourself to reading a job description. Go a step further and review their website, articles from the press, and any additional information you can get your hands on to receive a more complete picture of them.
Keep an eye out for company-specific keywords or repetitive language, while making note of interesting aspects about their background, product, or company goals.

Keep in mind that each client receives numerous applications and portfolios.
As a result, it’s important to differentiate yourself and cut through the noise. Use the knowledge you accumulated during the client discovery phase to present yourself in a way that caters to the client’s needs during the application process.
For example, incorporate key language you noticed throughout their website as this is sure to offer a sense of comfort through familiarity. You can also slim down your portfolio and drive singular attention to the projects you’ve worked on that speak specifically to their needs.
More Than Just A Developer 💪🏼
One of the most incredible aspects of Webflow is how accessible they’re making website development. This means that people who normally wouldn’t have the experience required to build a website have now been empowered to utilize their skills in tandem with the power of Webflow’s ecosystem. As a result, don’t shy away from sharing what makes you uniquely qualified for the job.
Whether you have a strong design background or have worked for a variety of startups in different capacities, most companies aren’t just looking for a standard developer and will appreciate understanding the comprehensive experience you bring to the table.
“Job Hunting” Time 📆
Your best chance of landing a job on Flowremote is by ensuring you apply within 5 days after it gets posted to our website. As a result, we recommend you schedule “job hunting” time on your calendar. This will make it easier for you to be consistent in your search, while ensuring you’re always one of the first Webflowers to see new job openings. This can be as simple as scheduling 10-minute blocks of time where you quickly scan Flowremote for new opportunities.
Utilizing the tips above will help separate yourself from other candidates, making it easier for a potential client or company to see why you’re the best fit for the job.
