Today, I’m going to teach you how to get 10+ remote role interviews in 30 days.

Job searching takes a toll. There’s the obvious financial cost. There’s also a deeper emotional cost:

  • Feeling lost
  • Missing team camaraderie
  • Feeling like part of your identity is gone

Sometimes, you need a quick win, like interviewing for a role, to build momentum and confidence.

Unfortunately, landing an interview is part of a long process in the job funnel:

Today I’m sharing my favorite way to make big life decisions.

From:

  • Selling my house in the suburbs
  • Moving my family abroad
  • Choosing between jobs

There’s no “right way” to make these decisions. But I found this model simplifies the decision-making process and reduces anxiety.

No pro and con lists.

No sleepless nights.

By answering a simple question, you can remove complexity from similar life decisions.

In this post, I’ll show you the exact steps I’d use today to land a remote job, using LinkedIn.

In July 2022, remote jobs made up 16% of job postings on LinkedIn.

Yet attracted 53% of the applications.

Competition is fierce. You need a consistent way to stand out.

Most people think you do this with a word-perfect resume or crafting a beautiful, bespoke cover letter.

They’re wrong.

In the last decade, I’ve landed 5 remote jobs.

Here’s how you can do the same.

When you’re fortunate and layoffs don’t impact you, you still run through a gamut of emotions.

Relief. Empathy. Anger.

Then you go about your day. You try to do good work. To prove you drive impact in the company.

This is not enough.

The problem is our careers are more fragile than we think.

Today, I’m going to show you 5 steps to move your family abroad while working remotely.

These are the exact steps I took when moving my family to Ireland in 2021. And I’m executing them right now to move again.

An international move is a large endeavor. You need to solve for:

  • Jobs
  • Banking
  • Housing
  • Insurance
  • Transport
  • Healthcare

By knowing the exact steps (and the sequence) you’ll increase your odds of success.

Today I’ll show you how to banish remote work anxiety. You’ll get more done at work. More importantly, you’ll feel like you’re able to actually switch off when you’re not working.

Working remotely for 9 years has been incredible for my career and life.

For most of that time, I’ve also dealt with low- to mid-level anxiety. Never to the point where it was debilitating, but more like this background noise I’m unable to switch off.

Because I can work anywhere, anytime, it felt like there was always something I could be doing.

I’m going to show you how to build a fantastic remote onboarding experience. This works whether you’re onboarding your first remote freelancer, or you’re looking to refresh your company’s entire onboarding process.

Employees are at their peak motivation during the first few weeks in a new role. They want to make an excellent first impression. Investing in onboarding keeps that motivation and morale high for the long term. This means a happier, more productive team that sticks with you through the highs and lows.

Unfortunately, remote onboarding is still nascent.

There aren’t defined best practices.

At best, companies try to “port over” their IRL onboarding experience but don’t account for working remotely.

Over the last 10+ years, I’ve worked 7 remote work roles. That’s 7 different remote onboardings.

Here are the 6 things that separate good onboarding experiences from poor ones:
