Pick, Choose, Refuse: The Remote Career Krishna Dewor Built (Ep. 29)

Ever wondered how to get to a point in your career where you can CHOOSE your next job? Krishna Dewor has the answer.

Krishna is a Client Support Concierge based in Kingston, Jamaica, with eight years of remote work under his belt. He was one of the amazing speakers at the first Caribbean Remote Work Conference in June, where thousands tuned in for his breakdown of what actually makes a resume work. 

In this episode, we get into it all: over-communication as a remote work superpower, why your resume needs to change for every single job you apply to, debunking "gate-keeping" and why AI and no-code tools like Zapier are becoming must-have skills, not nice-to-haves.

What we cover:

• How Krishna went from a hybrid role to fully remote, and why the commute was the final straw
• The real meaning of ATS and why your resume gets filtered before a human ever sees it
• Zendesk, Salesforce and the no-code tools worth learning even if you're not "technical"
• What to do to take your remote career to the next level - pick, choose and refuse jobs on your own terms
