You can have everything lined up but if you don't find jobs β how can you apply?
Ok, how do you apply to jobs in a way that gets you noticed and into the interview stage?

Practical & Value-Oriented
I hate courses that have a ton of fluff and don't deliver value. This is why I tried to pack as many examples, real use cases, concrete advice and techniques into this course. All backed by my money back guarantee.
But who the heck are you?
My name is Ricardo π For the past 10 years I've founded, grew and sold a software development agency. Through that I learned how to hire remote talent that delivers. I've since helped dozens of companies hire for remote roles. I've also extensive experience as a corporate speaker and trainer and communication is a bit of a passion of mine. I now want to share with candidates what I learned so you too can get the remote job you deserve.
Some people I've helped before...
Ricardo helped my career advance
Ricardo was probably the single biggest help in advancing my career other than myself at a time where I had gotten laid off. Not only did he provide me with unique perspective on how future employers would look at my CV and approach, he coached me and helped me prepare for interviews, resulting in me getting 2 offers and a position I was very happy with!!

Sharp feedback!
Ricardo basically trashed my CV and provided me an alternative approach to applying to jobs that saw my response rate DOUBLE while providing small insights to the process that I never thought of. I'm happy he's now sharing all that experience with more people!

Popular Questions to Ask Before Enrolling
Building a remote team completely changed the trajectory for ColorElephant (my agency)! We went on to find insanely talented people all across the world that we hired and nurtured. Through this process I've also seen some of the best people we hired were... not so good during the recruitment process. π After speaking with literally dozens of recruiters over the past months I realized there's a ton people that don't know about how to successfully apply and navigate a recruitment process β specially remote. After selling my agency last year I want to find more ways in which I can give back and helping a few dozen people get quality remote jobs β specially with a string of layoffs looming β seems like a worthwhile thing to do.
Course will be released from September 16th and will have first live cohort from September 16th to September 21. The start time for sessions is yet to be defined and will be based on the most common timezones for attendees (after all... this is a remote course!).
You can choose to attend the live sessions β where I'll share some of the concepts live and you can ask questions and interact β or watch all of the recordings. By joining the "live" version you also get access to a Slack/Telegram with other students where you can share your questions, struggles and wins while learning from fellow professionals. I'll also be around and help roast some CVs and answer some of the burning questions. These are usually called co-hort courses and they're one of the best ways to learn!
That said, I wanted to provide a version of the course with a bit more flexibility and at the lowest price point, thus the "On Demand Only". You'll get to learn exactly the same content, but you'll have more limited interaction and no certificate of completion.
You can watch the sessions you can't attend as video recordings ~12h after they take place. You'll also still be able to get all the other goodies: a certificate, access to the Slack/Telegram to connect with other students / myself and more.
You probably shouldn't ahah. That said, over the past 10 years I hired literally hundreds of people for my companies and clients. Always remotely. In prpeparation for this course I also spoke with dozens of recruiters to understand what they look for in candidates and how they evaluate them. I also have a money back guarantee, so if you're not happy with the course for any reason, just shoot me an email and I'll refund you 100% of the amount you paid.
The course has a price to both cover certain things that do cost money (like the certificates and Zoom), but also so that you commit to it. If you're thinking of slacking off you'll probably think... "oh f*** I actually paid $xxx for this, I should attend". That's my goal.
But I don't want to take a cent from you unless you think you're learning new and (more importantly) useful stuff from the course. So if at any point during the course or up to 15 days after you are not happy, for any reason, just shoot us an email and I'll refund you 100% of the amount you paid. No difficult "cancellation" flow, no pushback, nada. Just the money back on your account.
If you have any questions about the course you can reach out at any time to [email protected]. I'll be happy to help you out. Also, during the course you'll have access to a Slack/Telegram group where you can ask questions and connect with other students and myself.
If you choose the "Complete Package" you'll get a professional review of your CV and LinkedIn. This will be done by me or a recruiter I trust. You'll get feedback on how to improve your CV and LinkedIn to make it more attractive to recruiters and hiring managers while ensuring it passes all the automatic checks. This is 100% personalised.
This is the first time I'm launching a course. However, in the past I've helped dozens of people with their careers and job searches. I've always been told that my 1-1 feedback helped people because it was so specific to their situation. So I decided to include a 30min 1-1 session with me to discuss your career and next job. This can be used to discuss your career, your job search, your CV, your LinkedIn, your interview preparation or anything else you want to discuss. This is usually better had after the LinkedIn and CV review (and after the course) but up to you.
No. The goal of the course is to prepare you to get the best possible remote job you can get. But the truth is... getting a job will depend on a lot of variables, including your own profile and skills. I'll be there to help you as much as I can, but I can't guarantee you'll get a job. That said, I can guarantee you'll be better prepared to get a job after the course than before it. Or else you can always get your money back :-)
I might, at my own discretion, share job opportunities with students during the course or after it and/or share CVs with recruiter friends and other CEOs. But this is not a job placement service.
YES! Remote jobs have been growing in all industries and all countries. I've hired people from all over the world and I've helped people from all over the world get jobs. The course is not industry specific and the techniques and advice I'll share are applicable to all industries. I'll also have some breakout sessions where we'll discuss specific industries and how to approach them. But a big goal of mine is to broaden those benefiting from remote jobs including outside of the tech industry (where these are more common).
Maybe :) Please reach out to me at [email protected] and we can discuss it. I've done corporate training and speaking in the past and I'm always open to exploring if it makes sense.
Great, let me answer it! Please reach out to me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you asap.
