The Ultimate Remote Job Application Guide and Checklist

Tired of Sending Resumes and Hearing Nothing Back?

You spend hours perfecting your resume, rewriting cover letters, and hitting submit. Then… nothing. No replies. No interviews. Here's why:

  • Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) block resumes before a human sees them.
  • Hiring managers often overlook generic resumes without a second thought.

The result? Ghosting, rejection, and wasted effort. This guide fixes that.

The Fix: A Proven Way to Get More Interviews

Why Listen to Me?

For 24 years, I sat in the same office, counting down to Friday and wondering if there was more to life than four walls. At 40, I finally walked away from my 'secure' job to chase the freedom of remote work.

I also know what it's like to send out 50+ applications and hear nothing back. After months of frustration and mistakes, I figured out what hiring managers really wanted — and landed remote roles across different industries.

Now I coach others through my process. This checklist is built from those hard-earned lessons, so you can skip the trial and error and start landing interviews faster.
