Life’s too short to put your job before the things you love

Product Manager

Before I joined RR, I was losing a lot of time applying for jobs that were not really fully remote. I went through applications, & sometimes interviews, only to realize after much effort, that the companies I approached didn't have a true full remote policy.

RR helped me define a framework to drive my search in a much more efficient way. It helped me understand what were my desires & needs in terms of the perfect fit & match for the next position, and this helped me build confidence in how I should apply. Searching for a remote job is exhausting, but RR gave me the backing I needed & was like having a friend giving me the right help & push I needed. Now I can enjoy life with my loved ones, in my home country!

Senior Product Designer

Michelle works with you, not with the companies. This obviously-better-but-apparently-radical approach is exactly what I needed. She helped me improve everything about my job application: my CV, my portfolio, my cover letter, my strategy. She helped me find jobs I wanted to apply to. One month later I had an offer from a 100% remote company, and a 31% raise.

Communications Manager

I was hesitant at first to engage a coach since I had previous experience that wasn't what I expected. I needed someone who would help with finding suitable remote jobs & with the application process including tailoring the CV & cover letter for each job.

I gained confidence in my CV, cover letter, skills and experiences. Michelle also found lots of interesting jobs for me. She gave me the tools to continue my remote job hunt & applications on my own. I was called for several interviews and I landed a remote job! Michelle helped me to create a more impactful LinkedIn profile, post more & network more. The results have been amazing! She's an excellent remote job coach ⭐

Frontend Engineer

Michelle is such an amazing person to work with and is definitely your go-to person if you are looking to transition to a remote working lifestyle.

I have gone through her program, and it not only helps prepare you for the remote world, but it also teaches core concepts pertaining to life itself. I absolutely love her work, and she is definitely worth recommending.

Technical Security Analyst

Working with Michelle was amazing. I felt like she was able to understand what my struggles were and make suggestions based on my needs and not some general tips and tricks. I ended up getting my dream job after only a few weeks of working together. Highly recommend working with Michelle.

Senior UX Designer

Michelle is a good judge of character, and can tell when you're either "playing it safe" or conversely being a little over-optimistic.

Great advice on salary/daily rate negotiation and contract negotiation; but also on learning to follow your heart, not *just* chasing the dollar. She was a great help in mapping out steps to take in the short term so that my long-term goals weren't sacrificed for the here-and-now.

Update: she was right about everything!

Project Manager

I’m so glad I made the decision to join!

The access to a well-constructed methodology allowed me to structure my thoughts and objectives BEFORE applying for any job. This allowed me to structure my job search, develop new strategies and be more effective.

Secondly, the Academy improved my confidence and general well-being in this difficult journey which is remote job searching, because (1) we're connecting with amazing rebels all around the world and (2) I wasted much less time and energy thanks again to the methodology.

Ecommerce Manager

Michelle is just great! The Remote Rebellion program is well designed and gives you all the tools to excel in the remote working world. As part of the program, I had many conversations with Michelle and she always had the best insight and tips for preparing and landing the best remote opportunities.

Definitely recommended!

Customer Support

I am really impressed with Michelle and Remote Rebellion. In just 1 session, she gave me a better insight into what I would want from an employer/company. Furthermore, she helped me with my CV and soon after I managed to get 2 job offers in one week!

Customer Success Manager

Michelle helped me to open my eyes and see completely remote opportunities that were not visible to me before.. She is a passionate, dedicated individual who goes above and beyond to help you to create a remote job that truly suits you. During our 8-week coaching calls, she guided me to improve my confidence and skills, where to find remote jobs, improved my CV and LinkedIn profile as well as opened up networking possibilities in the remote world that I was not part of it before. I can highly recommend her programs and individual approach. It was fun and professional :)

SEO / Copywriter

I thought that remote working was just a pipe dream rather than a reality. RR opened up my eyes and helped me figure out what work I could do remotely even though I wasn't tech savvy. I went from feeling super discouraged to really optimistic. Sometimes you need a helping hand, someone to give you the confidence and direction you need!

After just a few weeks I managed to land 2 freelance jobs doing SEO and copywriting with all the help from Michelle and RR. I can't thank her enough- it's changed my life, having gone from building sites in the UK to beaches in Thailand. I got exactly what I dreamed of!

Partnerships Marketing Manager

If you're looking for work, I'd say to trust in the process. She knows what she's doing and offers invaluable advice from the perspective of the person who would be hiring you...which takes all of the guesswork out of it.

Best of luck to everyone searching for a job. You're all being helped by the right person. Ask her questions if you're concerned about skill gaps, or have worries going into an interview because she told me exactly what to focus on, how to address them, etc. and it seems to have worked as the job that I got is one that I'm slightly under-qualified for.

Product Manager

It was like speaking to a friend! Felt instantly at ease and just knew I was in good hands. The amount of tools in Google docs were brilliant, easy to follow and helped me realize achievements & milestones. My CV is now a thing of beauty, with cover letters to match! The insights into LinkedIn blew my mind, had no idea how useful it was as a tool and have gained a huge amount of confidence using the platform. I learnt more than I could have expected or realized I needed! came into the programme with an open mind & can honestly say that whilst I didn’t get a remote role, I owe my current situation to these sessions. The confidence boost I’ve had as a result meant I asked for what I wanted from my current employer, realized my value & am now living a life I want. I’m even getting a pay-rise!

Data Engineer

“Remote Rebellion was an amazing journey. The Remote Job Academy is outstanding along with the group and 1:1 sessions that provide great insight on where to improve and craft the future. The community is also amazing and allows you to connect to people with the same goal. I very quickly had offers for the precise positions I was looking for. It would not have been possible otherwise. Michelle is a great mentor full of patience and wisdom. If you're considering changing path you'll be in very good hands!

Senior Account Manager

Michelle's experience and true passion for helping others find remote work that aligns with them are amazing. I really enjoyed her structured program, her attention to detail and advice, and her motivation to keep going. She has a great eye for helping you identify roles you might have overlooked by understanding who you truly are and how your skillset is valuable and could be applied in many ways. Thanks for everything Michelle, keep it up!

Delivery Director

Michelle will cover the entire process end-to-end; from creating a CV through to polishing your online profiles to demystifying the algorithms that power job sites, all the way through to handling interviews. What I really liked about the Premium Programme was that you could pick the areas you want to focus on and dig into them in detail, so this wasn't a cookie-cutter approach to career coaching. This meant I didn’t waste time on things I was already comfortable with. I also really appreciated the fact that there was a second pair of eyes scanning job boards & sending me interesting jobs. So if you're looking for a fresh perspective on your career, you should seek Michelle's help. One of those rare recruiters who cares more about you and your fit for a role than just having someone do a job.

Senior Product Manager

Things I appreciate most and learnt from the sessions: how to align my profile and resume to what I'm looking for. It was so evident none represented who I am or what I want. The sessions were just the right amount of learning for me.

Corporate Sales Trainer

I try to surround myself with strong, empowering women. Michelle is one of the most wonderful women I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! She’s one of those people that you just KNOW will make a difference in your life from your initial conversation. The very first time I spoke to her, it was like speaking to an old friend. She was a great listener and easy to talk to! She asked probing questions to determine what would be most beneficial for me and gave me honest, helpful answers on what I could do to improve my career. I was shocked to see results so quickly! I am truly grateful for her expertise and guidance! She is amazing!!

Michelle has unique expertise in hiring remote personnel to many businesses worldwide. She created "Remote Rebellion" program which is great course for anyone who wants to find their dream job. This course is also great for anyone who wants to master job hunting in general with plenty of material from writing CV to optimizing LinkedIn. I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for their perfect job.

Graphic Designer

Michelle's spirit is very motivating if you are looking for a remote job. She knows what you need after one call and you start working together straight away. She really gave me the confident i needed to apply for certain jobs i would not go for if i would be without her support. She expanded my horizon.

iOS Developer

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle during my career transition to a new role. She has been really professional and helpful through entire process, her advices were extremely valuable.

Sales Manager

Michelle helped me through the most complicated moments in my career. Here’s how:

1. Remote jobs are competitive so you need to know how to stand out & this can be challenge particularly if u are pivoting, but Michelle has the ability to break down the problems so the challenge becomes achievable.

2. It is much to be learned from other participants and it’s very stimulating and encouraging.

3. A lot of things can be learned from the group sessions not only with words but also just from looking/hearing/feeling.

4. It is very good for motivation when you see others succeed.

Technical Lead

I had the pleasure to do a consultation call w Michelle to discuss my career and a couple of job opportunities that came up. She remained supportive throughout, while offering new points of view and perspectives I hadn't considered. I came out of the session motivated to look and ask for what I need and with a plan of action on how to achieve it. I found a new job that I believe ticks all the checkboxes shortly thereafter. In summary, I'd recommend anyone that wants to bounce ideas about their career to have a chat with Michelle, she not only brings a wealth of experience in talent acquisition but also a can-do attitude that will definitely help you steer your career in the right path.

Hotel Operational Success

Remote Rebellion is such an amazingly well-thought-out course with ample support and a community vibe. It opened up my eyes and I learnt so much about the ins and outs of applying for work effectively. Tasks I dreaded such as networking and creating/editing my resume became easy and pain-free. Michelle was a constant source of support and has worked so hard to ensure everyone doing the course is in the best possible position to maximise their potential.

Michelle helped get me a job at *redacted*. I loved her honesty, support and friendliness. We need more professionals like her!

UX Designer

Michelle has been a fantastic person to interact with and ensured I was prepared for the interviews, putting me at ease and being always ready to answer my questions whenever I had a doubt. If you are looking for reliability and someone who genuinely care about your application I would definitely recommend Michelle!

Writer

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle as my career coach, and it was a game-changer! Michelle is not only organized and responsive, but she's also your biggest cheerleader. What sets her apart is her ability to push you beyond your comfort zone, encouraging you to put your ego aside and do the hard work required to secure a remote position.

Michelle's direct approach is precisely what makes her clients stronger. Thanks to her guidance, I landed not one, but two remote jobs and am now living my best life in Thailand. If you're serious about working remotely and dream of an international, location-independent lifestyle, Michelle is the expert you need on your side.

Head of Projects and Change Management

I couldn't recommend RR enough! I secured a job after just 3 weeks! I was referred to Michelle from a friend as I was looking for a job I could do hybrid/remote to be there for my children. I also wanted to ramp up my career and go for the next step up to Director level. Due to some rejections I had lost my confidence and needed help. I joined the RJA and it was the game changer for me to get that Director level job. The people in the group coaching are amazing! Everyone is so unique and supportive, they inspired me to not give up. The course is really helpful too and the section on personal brand and elevator pitch helped me to secure the job I wanted. Michelle has built a very successful company on delivering results time and again for her clients.

Community Development and Capacity Building Consultant

It's not often that one encounters a leader as genuine and dedicated as Michelle Coulson. From the moment I engaged with her content on LinkedIn, it was evident that she possesses a fervent passion for empowering individuals to realise their aspirations of remote work. Taking the leap to join her program was a decision I'm profoundly grateful for.

Michelle's humility is a standout trait, matched only by her unwavering commitment to her program's participants. Rather than making grand promises, she offers pragmatic advice: complete the modules, sometimes take a step back to move forward, and be methodical in your approach. This counsel, while seemingly counterintuitive, was instrumental in honing my focus and approach.
