Hellooooooo people 👋
As promised, you’re getting TWO newsletters from me this week. Hopefully that’s not too much Jeff for you. We will see.
Like I said in the yesterday’s newsletter, the majority of you messaging me are saying some version of:
“This job market is horrendous and gives me the big sad.”
I agree. It’s brutal! And sometimes job listings aren’t enough for people. I’ve had hundreds of people emailing and messaging asking for more specific guidance on how to maximize the chances of standing out, and getting hired.
Our answer: Live hangouts with our career coaching experts explaining insider strategies to getting hired. Here’s all the details you need to know below:
How do I sign up?
Click this link and add your name and email. It’s free, come and go as you want.
What’s the “live hangout”?
It’s like a webinar, but way less formal and stuffy. If you know us AT ALL (especially our podcast listeners), you know we are super informal and down-to-earth.
We’re going to have some of our career coaching experts running these chats where they give you tips and tricks on different aspects of getting hired. It’s like an insider’s playbook to getting hired.
We want you to feel good about your job search 💪🏽
What are you going to be talking about in this one?
This is our test run, so we’re going to hit the questions you ask the most often. Here’s the loose agenda:
👉 Mistakes you’re making: The top 5 mistakes we see people make when trying to get a remote job
👉 A path you’re not thinking about: The fully remote job type almost no one else is talking about…and why it’s the easiest, fastest path to land a work-from-anywhere role that we’ve seen with Beach Commuters (even if you have zero prior experience)
👉 Why LinkedIn applications get buried: Why submitting jobs on LinkedIn may feel like sending applications into a black hole
👉 Finding rare listings: Our unique method to find work-from-anywhere job listings that never get posted publicly anywhere else…so you have way less competition when you apply for a role
👉 Step-by-step instructions: The exact step-by-step method you can follow to land a job without getting lost in a pile of resumes
👉 How to optimize yourselfThe 5 traits that these specific remote companies value most, and how to communicate with confidence when you apply
Does it cost anything?
Again, no. Most of what we do at Beach Commute is free. We only charge for coaching programs.
Where/when is it?
October 14th at 6:30pm on Zoom. Be there or be square.
Are you helping people getting hired?
Yeah! Though both our free and paid services. These quotes just came in over the last week:
For our daily newsletter:
“I got an offer today, and I have accepted it! Thank you for your well wishes and prayers. You’ve honestly been amazing, and I appreciate everything you’ve done to help me out. Beach Commute’s newsletter has been a lifesaver during this whole job hunt. You and the team are doing such an awesome job. Thank you so much for everything”
For our coaching program:
“Big win today!!! After 2 hard working weeks and ~30 looms later I land my first sales position ever! Thank you to everyone, and thank you for introducing me to the community!”
For our coaching program:
“Sincere thanks for your excellent work on my resume and LinkedIn profile. You didn’t need to work a holiday weekend. I do appreciate your dedication, patience with me…and delivering a stellar product. Glad to figure out bullets in LinkedIn. Yes [LinkedIn], Alt + 0149 seems totally obvious …le sigh. Maybe add to standard functionality? Ok, rant over. Please enjoy the rest of your weekend. Your work does not go unnoticed–it’s key to my job search journey and success.
For our coaching program:
“Working in corporate with return-to-office rules made family life nearly impossible. I wanted flexibility, but the job hunt felt overwhelming, 5,000 applicants on LinkedIn, analysis paralysis, and no clear plan. The program changed that. The clarity work and coaching helped me define my priorities (flexibility, values-aligned company) and map exact steps. The community kept me accountable, and the backdoor networking approach made all the difference. I nurtured a few warm connections and, within two months of enrolling, landed a role that fits my life. Now I have the freedom to be present with my kids, keep growing professionally, and design what’s next with confidence. Trusting the process works.”
What’s next?
I don’t know. We’re going to see how this one goes, get feedback from you, then do it even better the next time. Make sure to give us feedback!
We wanna get as many of you working from wherever you want as possible. I’m currently working in Costa Rica…come join me.
