Let me be honest: I didn’t have a fancy resume. I didn’t have years of experience.
But I still got a legit remote job — and no, it wasn’t a scam or some “get rich quick” thing.
This is exactly how I did it:
1. I Got Clear on What I Could Do
I stopped focusing on what I didn’t have — a degree, a job history, a perfect LinkedIn — and focused on what I could offer:
✅ I was organized
✅ I could write a decent email
✅ I knew how to Google stuff
✅ I was willing to learn
That’s all you really need to start.
2. I Picked a Beginner-Friendly Role
I didn’t go after tech lead or senior designer. I looked for entry-level roles like:
- Virtual assistant
- Customer support rep
- Social media helper
- Transcription or data entry
I picked one that matched my strengths — and ran with it.
3. I Made a Simple Resume (and Told the Truth)
I didn’t try to fake it. I was real.
I wrote a short, honest resume with a clear goal:
“I’m new to remote work but highly dependable, fast to learn, and ready to support your team.”
That honesty stood out more than buzzwords ever could.
4. I Used Remote-Only Job Boards (Not the Big Ones)
I skipped the huge sites where everyone and their uncle applies.
I went to places like:
- DamnJobs 😉
- We Work Remotely
- Remotive
- FlexJobs
- Working Nomads
I applied to 2–3 jobs a day for a week — not 50 in one day. Steady and intentional.
5. I Sent Personalized Applications (Not Copy-Paste Garbage)
Every cover letter started with:
“I know I don’t have experience, but here’s why I’m still a great fit.”
I made it human. Real. Relatable. That’s what made the difference.
💥 The Result?
I got a paid remote gig doing customer support for a startup — $17/hour, part-time to start.
Now I work fully remote, set my schedule, and never looked back.
Final Thoughts:
No experience? So what. Everyone starts somewhere.
You don’t need to be an expert — you just need to be willing.
If you’re ready to escape the 9–5 grind, don’t wait for “perfect.”
Start where you are. Learn as you go. You’ve got this.
