00:00tired of the commute and the nine-to-five grind well I find I found a way out and you can too so

00:09here are my 10 steps to really secure a work from home job that you really like that you really

00:15enjoy okay the first step is you want to identify your skills and your strengths and this is not

00:21easy what are some things you really enjoy doing what are some things you hate for example I hate

00:26video editing okay I just hate it I don't do it so that's not a strength of mine I like sales I like

00:33talking to people so that's one of my strengths are you introvert do you like to write so there's

00:39some things to think about number two is you want to research remote friendly companies this is very

00:46difficult the reason why is because there's a lot of bullshit and scams out there okay I found a place

00:52where you can go they will get they do all the heavy lifting and they only give you legit jobs

00:59that pay great and they're not like a hundred percent commission sales jobs either and they

01:05have a massive list so I'm super excited about that as well so step number three is you want to narrow

01:11down your job types I like to think about like how do you find a needle in a haystack you burn down the

01:20haystack right and you're left with a needle so you want to I like to think of like inversion so think

01:27of all the things that you like don't want to do and then don't do that right a couple of examples could

01:34be like what are some pay that you're not willing to accept you know or hours so you want to narrow it

01:40down eliminate the things that you there are just are deal killers right and then narrow it down so step

01:47number four is you want to tailor your resume for your remote work okay and see here

01:58so yeah um and obviously when it comes to resume it's just about getting your foot in the door

02:05and I have some resources that can really help you uh with your resume and just getting that foot in the

02:11door because that's the hardest part I actually used to do a lot of door-to-door sales too

02:14okay so I'm I'm used to get my the door slammed in my foot hey I got my foot there right all right

02:22so the next one is my strong craft a strong cover letter and I'm not I'll be the first to admit I'm

02:28not an expert at this uh but generally you want the letter to be simple straightforward you know one page

02:34max and just highlight some examples of some strengths of where you manage tasks without supervision

02:40because you're you want to work from home right net deadlines and you know it's also better to list

02:46results not just like duties right this is how you sell yourself and one thing that I will tell you

02:53about sales is benefits over the price equals a sale that that's just that's just the way it is if you

03:00want to simplify it okay and you want to prepare for remote interviews okay and the interview uh sometimes

03:07it's either like a phone or web camera it's not a bad idea to test all the equipment before you

03:12interview uh make sure your mic's working you have a stable internet connection you know quiet area

03:18and next you might have some answers ready okay and it doesn't do hurt it doesn't hurt to do some

03:24research on the company that you're applying because it actually looks very very impressive

03:28and for the last two years I was actually uh dedicated to doing this COVID tax credit for small business

03:34owners and it was the craziest thing in the world where basically he was giving people free money it

03:41wasn't like a little buddy too it was like big buddy you know so I you would have to gain their trust and

03:46it was like a free quote it was a lot of fun though I had one of the best work from home job I've ever

03:52done I've tried many of them I've tried many different things so some of them are really good out there

03:58and some of them are not good uh I went I applied for this company where you would like to test their

04:05apps and websites and it was complete bullshit so you kind of have to uh so not all of them are good

04:14and all of them are bad too when it comes from work from home okay all right anyways uh next up in the

04:19job interview is you want to demonstrate your flexibility just think of your foot in the door guys and girls

04:25okay uh and that's the hardest part so you want to it doesn't hurt in the interview process to really

04:31sell yourself and uh and once you're hired then you can kind of change things up you can describe you

04:39know times you adjusted to quickly new tools priorities and uh it doesn't I think I want to say

04:47something real real quickly too about this and I'll give you a story a while ago a very long time ago I

04:53lived in Texas and I worked I started applying these very fine dining restaurants I got an interview

04:58and they interviewed a whole bunch of people for his job and he asked me about wine I actually told

05:03the guy I don't know shit about wine I don't know anything about wine that's all I remember I went

05:09home I love the job he called the other people you got the job I was like what he said I liked your

05:12answer because you're so honest because a lot of people bullshit so don't bullshit okay obviously you

05:19want to demonstrate your your your strengths if you know things if you're curious or you're willing

05:24to learn things but honesty is important okay for jobs or whatever so that was a important point okay

05:30because you know people they they I think people could tell when you're bullshitting anyways uh highlight

05:36tools and tech savviness uh so if there's two people competing for a job and you know you're really

05:42good at at some at some tools and tips but you're honest about it they're not going to help you you

05:47know get the job get your foot in the door okay all right and obviously you want to negotiate uh

05:54terms clearly now because there are some work from home jobs that are not very good I've tried a few

06:01of them actually so uh so you want to be clear about the hours you're working the availability the time

06:07zone performances that you're expected and during the interview just that way you avoid any

06:13misunderstandings later okay and do you want to confirm like uh agreed upon terms like no pay schedule

06:21responsibility and stuff like that okay all right next up you want to stay organized and track

06:26applications because let's be real you know finding a a really good uh work from home job where you're

06:33making good money you don't have to commute and you're and you like it and you get paid you know it's a job

06:39it really and it's a numbers game let's be honest it really is so the more places you apply to the

06:45more higher chance you're gonna you know get an interview the more interviews you do the more

06:49chance of you landing that great job so it's not a bad idea to have a calendar track follow-ups

06:56but then seven days after the interview you know schedule reminders shows push for when you follow up it

07:03shows persistence professionalism and you want the job so you want to track everything

07:09and seeing how you're doing and that's really about it all right so if you want to know more about
