3 remote job hacks I use to stand out when applying.
Remote jobs are tricky to land. But here are a few ways you can make your resume, cover letter or even portfolio stand out when applying to them online or via referrals.
I go over 3 ways: 1) Write a case study and publish it online 2) Ship or build your projects and showcase them 3) Connecting with someone on the team you're interested in working for
I've tried these hacks myself and they've worked and I'm confident they will work for you too.

Sprints? What are they? What do they do?
Sprints are mainly used my development teams in a methodology called Agile. Sprints are a time box alloted to development teams where they are given a certain number of tasks and they have 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks to complete the tasks given and process for review.
Now - This process for dev teams can be easily turned around and used for personal goals. Whether you're trying to learnt o code, plan your wedding and many more you can take the concept of a Sprint and tweak to make it your own.
In this video, I'll dive into what goals I reached and didn't reach. This is week #3 :) Subscribe to keep up with my weekly progress!
If you'd like to get some help on setting up your own personal sprint, email me at irma@elevatd.co I'd be happy to help!
