In this installment of Remote Real Talk, Andrew Gobran from Doist discusses his journey to remote work and offers insights for job seekers. He emphasizes the importance of aligning one's skills and experiences with the role rather than focusing solely on the remote aspect when applying. Andrew shares his reasons for joining Doist, highlighting their mission-driven approach and holistic view of success. He warns candidates against overemphasizing remote flexibility and encourages them to present how they can contribute effectively to the company culture.
A common mistake remote job seekers make is overemphasizing their desire for remote work rather than focusing on their fit for the actual role.
Candidates who lead with why they want to work remotely instead of why they're the best fit for the role risk presenting a weaker case for their qualifications.
The best way to stand out is to be clear on what you're looking for and align your skills with the needs of the company.
I wanted to work for a company that was mission-driven, valued people, and saw success as more than just financial metrics.
