On Becoming a Remote Drupal Developer

It is becoming increasingly difficult for great companies to find the best Drupal Developers. Even in large cities that have a high concentration of good talent, the competition between companies can be fierce. This has led many companies to look beyond their local communities for great talent. This has created an awesome opportunity for remote Drupal developers from all around the world to share their expertise with other companies that are doing great work. This presentation will focus primarily on the developer, at any skill level, and how they can prepare themselves to find jobs and to work efficiently in a remote environment.

In this talk we will discuss issues such as:
The prerequisite skills Drupal developers need to posses. 
How to create an attractive resume.
Creating an on-line presence.
Where to find suitable remote work opportunities.
How to excel in a remote interview.
How to perform efficiently and effectively while working remote.

From one developer to another, we will discuss how to effectively work as a software developer on a remote team. Understanding how to communicate with each other (especially over different time zones and languages) and use technology and scheduling to facilitate good communication. These are all critical to a successful remote working relationship.

You will leave this presentation with all the necessary tools and information needed to transition to a remote Drupal Developer Position.
