Landing a Dream Remote Job Through LinkedIn Networking and No Application [Case Study]
Before working with Jordan Melodie was so frustrated with her job that she'd created a list of what it was she dreamed of in her next position -- being remote was at the top of the list. After working with Jordan, The Remote Job Coach, and going at it for many months of hard work, she can proudly say just about everything on that list has come true.

An especially difficult part of the search for many job seekers is the hit their confidence takes from getting rejected. Melodie hadn't had positive responses from any companies and was starting to feel doubt creep into her mind.
Working together with The Remote Job Coach, Melodie was initially able to find a lot of clarity in what she was really wanting -- as well as bolstering her confidence to believe that she could find something that fit her criteria.
Then, they focused their energy on LinkedIn. After getting an understanding of how to use LinkedIn to network, Melodie was off to the races.
She started slow, adding just a few people per week, exchanging messages, and having light conversations with people in her industry (biotech). She was building confidence on how to navigate "cold" LinkedIn conversations to make them "warm."
She learned how to interact with content, provide value, and ultimately build real, lasting relationships on the platform. Within 5 months of meeting one of her connections, she received some subcontracting work from him.
Because of the excellent work she did for him, he eventually recommended and championed her to another position in his network where she now works.
But it was that initial push on LinkedIn she learned about from Jordan that ultimately became the reason she landed the subcontract work, and finally, the referral -- without needing to apply online!
Along with this guidance -- Melodie never gave up. That was her biggest differentiator. She was a true inspiration in the process, pushing herself, while also respecting her personal boundaries and health to make sure she was in a good place to be able to set herself up for success.
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.
