Are you a Remote Swiss Army Knife?

Are you a ‘jack of all trades’ struggling to find a remote job?

Worried that your colourful work history with a variety of jobs makes you look bad to employers and is the reason you’re not getting interviews?

It’s probably not.

The way you’re describing your experience is the problem.

First, reframe the way you think about it.

Stop calling yourself a jack (or Jill) of all trades.

You’re a Swiss army knife. You’re the embodiment of multifunctionality, inventiveness and Swiss precision!

Do you expect the saw in the swiss army knife to cut through planks of wood? No. That’s not the purpose. The purpose is something lightweight, adaptable and multipurpose.

Someone else is a full-sized saw- they’re a specialist.

Stop putting yourself down if you’re not a specialist.

The world needs swiss army knives, like you, especially smaller organisations.

Now go out there with your head held high and show these remote first employers what you CAN do, not what you can’t!
