    How's your job search this summer going? πŸ”Ž

    Are you hearing back from hiring managers? πŸ‘€

    ...Or are you getting ghosted like everyone else we talk to? πŸ‘»

    Most often than not, it's the latter.

    But...It's not your fault.The remote job search is like playing against the house, and nobody told you the new rules of the game.

    It's the Wild Wild West right now 🀠 πŸ“Ώ 🐴

    But, we can help tilt the odds back in your favor 🎲

    You subscribers told us what was broken in your job search (it was a lot of stuff)...

    And we fixed it πŸ‘‰

    No more bouncing between 11 different sites. No more optimizing your resume in one tool and tracking applications in a random spreadsheet somewhere else.

    No more losing your sanity 🫠

    Now, let me tell you how this remote job toolkit is going to make your job search MUCH easier...

    Start getting in first πŸ“¬

    You're likely applying way too late.

    Most people see a job posting AFTER it's already been overrun with hundreds (sometimes thousands) of applicants. Custom job alerts flip that.

    The moment your dream job goes live, it pops up in your inbox and dashboard. You apply before the rush. That's a serious edge.

    β†’ Custom Job Alerts: enter what you want, we send it the second it posts.

    Ahhh yes...a cup of coffee and the right jobs to start the morning β˜•οΈ

    Know exactly which jobs match you πŸ’˜

    All you have to do is upload your resume, add some of your skills, and you'll get matched with the best jobs that fit your skillset.

    Every time you log in, you'll see exactly which jobs fit you best.

    Pure matchmaker energy πŸ’˜

    No more getting trashed by AI bots πŸ€–

    The majority of applications get rejected because a bot didn't like your resume.

    You never even had a chance!

    The Resume Optimizer gives you specific steps on how to beat AI filters, then makes you look super polished for the actual human you want to see it ✨

    Stop losing track of where you're applying πŸ˜΅πŸ’«

    Most people lose track of which jobs they applied to and what they need to do next. With the volume of applications you're sending out, I get it.

    But not you, not anymore.πŸ™…πŸ½

    Each job you like goes straight into an application tracker where you can manage your pipeline in one place.

    β†’ Application Tracking: you'll never lose track of anything

    Most applicants do NOT follow up after applying. You won't be that person πŸ™…πŸ½β™€οΈ

    Know how much you should be paid πŸ’°

    Live data that tells you how much you should be making, how much negotiation headroom you have, skills that can improve your pay, and a salary projection over the next three years.

    One Dashboard to Rule them All 🧩

    Your dashboard tracks your application progress, tasks due (like follow-up emails), community leaderboards, motivation, and how you can improve your application process.

    Just show up every morning. It's similar to working out... you don't need a personal record every day, you just need to walk in the front door.

    ❀️ For you LinkedIn readers

    You're now at almost 38k job seekers strong...and I appreciate you're search soooo much.

    I think one of the most critical things job searchers miss is getting blocked by AI robots.

    If you choose to set up a subscription, message me before tomorrow night (June 26th) and I'll add 5 resume optimizations to your account!

    People area actually getting remote jobs 🏝️

    Meet Ashley, who went from the poultry business to working remote from home so that she can spend more time with her kids.

    And Dawn, who got hire at one of our favorite fully remote companies.

    One last thing πŸ’­

    There is no magic solution for you to find a remote job. But you CAN get access to better tools than anything else out there, earlier access to jobs, and a more organized search than most applicants will EVER have.

    That's the edge 😎

    We built this because the system is stacked against job seekers, and we think that's worth fixing.

    You deserve your time back.

    Whether you subscribe or not...

    We hope you get out of the cubicle 🏒

    We hope you get out of the daily commute πŸš™

    And we hope you getting paid for your skills, not your location 🏝️

    And we hope to see you on the beach πŸ–οΈ

    As always, have your job and travel too!

    Disclaimer: We can't guarantee you'll get hired, that part's still on you.

    What we can do is give you better tools, earlier access to jobs, and a more organized search than most applicants have. This gives you an edge.

    Results vary based on your experience, the roles you're targeting, and market conditions. Salary data is based on available market sources and is provided for guidance, not as a guarantee of earnings. We built this because the current system is stacked against job seekers and we think that's worth fixing.
