Lost your remote job? Here's how one Caribbean professional went from contract terminated to new retainer client — in under a month.
Priscilla McClure (aka Pris vs. The World) is a Jamaican copywriter and marketer who built her entire remote career from scratch during COVID lockdowns. In this episode, she sits down with me to talk about losing her remote job, bouncing back fast, and the no-nonsense strategy she used to land a new opportunity before most people even update their resume.
Key topics covered:
- Why "quality over quantity" wins the remote job search every time
- How to stand out in interviews by showing up like you're already on the team
- Why your LinkedIn profile is your remote work marketing page — and what Caribbean professionals are missing
- Using AI in your content and job search without sounding like a robot
- Building your personal brand now so opportunities find you before you go looking
