A proven system for landing remote work
The Remote Job System
The “old way” is dead. Here's the new way to find remote work and get seen in an AI-driven hiring world.
“If you're trying to find legit remote roles (not scams), get hired with little formal remote experience, or stand out while competing with applicants from all over the world — I'll show you how.” — Carly Barrett
We're nostalgic for the old hiring process.
Submit a resume.
Talk to a human.
Get a fair shot.
But that version of hiring is largely gone — especially for remote roles with established companies.
Today, your first “screener” isn't a person. It's AI.
A staggering 97.8% of Fortune 500 companies are using applicant tracking systems (ATS) to sort resumes before a recruiter or hiring manager ever sees them.
That means a machine decides whether your application is even worth passing along.
And if that machine can't “read” your resume because the formatting isn't right or key language was missed, you'll look like a weak match — even when you're not.
So you end up in the rejection pile before a human ever sees your name.
This is why so many capable people apply to dozens (or even hundreds) of remote jobs and hear nothing back.
You're never making it past this first “AI boss.”
Then comes the human filter
Even when you do pass AI screening, the reality is that hiring managers and recruiters are overwhelmed.
One remote job can attract thousands of applicants.
On that first pass, resumes are skimmed quickly — often in 6–8 seconds — to decide who moves forward.
Your resume has to communicate three things immediately:
- You can do the job
- You can work remotely without hand-holding
- You're a low-risk hire
If that's not clear at a glance, you're easy to pass over.
Applying the “old way” to remote jobs is no longer enough. Remote hiring has changed — but most job seekers were never taught how to adapt.
Introducing
The Remote Job System
Within The Remote Job System, I show you how to adapt to today's hiring process.
So you stand out from the (global!) crowd, get seen, and land more interviews in an AI-dominated hiring world.
You'll learn how to:
- Find legit remote jobs (not scams)
- Structure your resume so AI can actually read it
- Tailor applications efficiently (without rewriting from scratch)

- Increase your odds of getting real interviews
What this system can give you
A career that fits your life — not the other way around.
Imagine working without a commute, without structuring your entire day around a job, and without feeling chained to a schedule that drains you.
Where a 10am gym session, a lunchtime yoga class, or a spontaneous Friday afternoon paddleboard isn't a luxury… it's normal.
You get the freedom to live life on your terms without sacrificing a paycheque to do so.
