You have the necessary experience working in the corporate world or other admin roles 🧑‍💼 but you just can't seem to land any interviews! 😡

Trust me, a lot of us 😱 (including ME) have been there too.

I'll be honest with you, landing a 💻 remote job is more involved than people think it is.

I consider it a sort of... art. 👩‍🎨

👉 Here are some things you might want to take another look at if you're trying to get a job online:

📄 Your resume

Bye-bye, standard resume! The one you made in high school is 🗑️ OLD NEWS! You need a strategy to ensure your resume and entire application process are remote-appropriate. 😉

🖥️ Your experience

Working online is a totally different ⛹️‍♀️ ball game than working in an office. Most tasks you did in an office aren't the same 🌐 virtually. Start with an internship and build your virtual experience. 🙌

🗂️ Your portfolio

This is ✨ the highlight reel ✨ of everything you've done. Your best work should be in your portfolio. You can add everything from assignments to solo projects to client work! 🤘

How's your job hunt going? LMK in the comments! 🔻🔻🔻

🤔I honestly thought that having already spent a

🤔I honestly thought that having already spent a lifetime in a plus size body that our culture told me wasn’t attractive or desirable, that I was going to react badly to getting even bigger.

⭐️ But instead I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find…

🙏 All the internal work I did over the last years for self acceptance, reading the truth about the weight loss and diet industry (because that’s what it is, an industry), learning to love and care for my body whatever shape and size she may be…it’s healed every broken part of that girl who used to grab her fat looking in the mirror and dropped her head in shame.

🐚 I’ve learned that our bodies are just shells. All that matters is our souls. All God sees is our insides. Yes caring for ourselves is important so we can fulfill our life’s purpose, but beyond that? All the pressure and shame culture has put on us to look a certain way and that’s what “healthy” means? It’s all BS.

I also released shame ✌🏼around how our bodies change depending on life stages. Sometimes we are stressed, depressed, sick, on medication, in a stationary job, bedridden, having a baby 🤰🏼 had a baby, breastfeeding, etc and our weight changes.

Culture wants to make you feel guilty about your body changing to adjust to its environment 🙇🏼‍♀️ but instead…ISN’T IT AMAZING?! Look at what our bodies do to support us!! 😮

And finally, after our last pregnancy loss, I now cherish every stretch mark. Every weird new way my boobs look. Every time I need a bigger size in clothes. We tried for 2 years to get pregnant and I may never get to do this again, so I have no room to worry about trivial stupid things like clothing sizes and stretch marks. Furthermore, many many many women never get to conceive or struggle with fertility for longer then I did…that doesn’t mean your issues with your body are invalid, but it does put things into perspective right? What’s actually important here?

Profoundly thankful to the many professionals around body image, health at every size and shame that have helped me come this far- tagging them in the comments- go follow them!
