Hi Freedom Seekers,
You spent 14 months at your last remote role. Before that, 16 months. Before that, 22 months.
Each time, you had legitimate reasons: company downsizing, role mismatch, better opportunity.
Now you're applying for your dream remote position, and the recruiter's response is ice cold.
"I see you've had several short-term positions recently. Can you walk me through that?"
Here's what's happening: remote hiring managers are treating job tenure differently than they did five years ago.
And if you don't know the new rules, your work history is quietly disqualifying you from roles you're perfect for.
Stick around till the end - I'm giving away free job history assessments so you can see exactly where you stand (and how to fix it).
