From Never Working Remotely Before to Full Time Digital Nomad [Case Study]

 
 

Kevin never even imagined doing anything different than being a pit broker in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. After some hard work to learn programming (Python) and working with Jordan Carroll, The Remote Job Coach, he opened himself up to an entirely different world. Kevin now has the freedom to travel the world, a digital nomad who even acquired a digital nomad visa to live in Barbados.

Being in the financial sector, Kevin's career had been very 'traditional' and as he started to re-evaluate some of his goals in life, he realized he wanted to do something different.

He'd been intrigued by coding before and decided to invest in an online boot-camp to accelerate his skills and chance of success. While it was daunting to start a second career at this stage of his life, he picked up things quickly.

He realized the value in learning some of the technical abilities of coding Python and with Jordan's help, started to recognize the many transferable skills he also had to offer to companies and organizations.

Beyond the scope of his expectations, Jordan also helped Kevin gain more confidence, become more organized, and be fully accountable to his new mission to find something remote. He went from not getting any responses in his job search, to primarily focusing on his network, and landing projects and contracts that way. He leveraged his financial background to niche down and use his applicable skills in the best way possible.

He mentions that if you're unsure what to do in the remote world, Jordan is the person to talk to. Don't feel like you have to get a 'plan' completely ready either. Part of working with a coach is receiving the guidance and steps to the plan that will help you get there.


Note: While many students of The Remote Job Coach have success in their job searches, individual results may vary. It is ultimately up to the individual to work hard to obtain their results with guidance from Jordan.
