PAST STUDENTS AND CLIENTS SHARE THEIR SUCCESS AFTER INVESTING IN REMOTE CAREER COACHING BY KATE SMITH.

Success Stories

Since 2016, I’ve helped countless people successfully go remote. Below are some success stories, and what others had to say about their experience working with Kate. All these testimonials are from real clients who have invested in Kate’s training:

Becky landed a remote job in 90 days and increased her income

HAVING BEEN AT HER EMPLOYER FOR 15+ YEARS, BECKY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT AGEISM

“I feel excited like I won the lottery. The role is an increase in pay and an improvement in the medical benefits.

I wanted a remote job for the flexibility. It makes my life easier for my son who has medical conditions and the driving was not very close to where I was working. 

Prior to the coaching, I couldn’t get anybody to call me, to respond to a resume. It was very challenging. You fill out application after application and then nothing. I was getting nothing. It was depressing. “Why can’t I get anybody to not even acknowledge me?” When you get no results it’s frustrating. 

I thought the coaching would be an investment. I needed help with this from a professional. 

The coaching has really helped me and given me clarity for sure and the path and steps to take. It was really in-depth and thorough. I feel relieved actually, I feel like I achieved something. I can be the type of person where I start something and don’t finish it because other things come up but this really kept me on track. 

I definitely recommend the career coaching. It was absolutely worth the investment and plus I’ll be making more money anyway. If you really want a remote job and you want that flexibility, I’d really recommend it for the guidance and insights and everything.”

- Becky S.

Tyler landed a fully remote job in 90 days

I CAN’T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE DONE FOR ME. I HONESTLY THINK YOU SHOULD CHARGE MORE.

Everything that we have done has been worth the investment. You have changed the course of my career for the rest of my life. I’m just very grateful for that. I honestly think you should charge more. I can’t say enough good things about everything that you’ve done for me and I’m just very thankful for you.

I would have never in a million years thought, “hey these opportunities are out there, you just have to know how to find them” To me, I had no clue what I was doing so you were basically the key to unlocking the door to all these opportunities in front of me.

Not once have I second guessed doing the program with you. I would recommend it to anyone that is struggling thinking, “there’s no hope for me, I have no chance of ever getting a (remote) job, I guess I’ll just keep submitting resumes” because that person was me.

It feels great (to have landed a remote job). If you’re on the fence, I can promise you you’re not going to look back in 3 month and say, “you know, I’m not sure I should have done that (the remote career coaching)” because you will be happy that you did.

- Tyler G.

Kayla landed a remote job in 90 days and is earning more money than ever before

I’M WORKING FROM HOME REMOTELY! NOW I’M ABLE TO PLAN FOR CERTAIN THINGS, LIKE VISITS WITH FAMILY MEMBERS, DOWN TO DOCTORS TRIPS. IT FEELS REALLY FEELS REALLY FREEING TO HAVE CONTROL OVER YOUR SCHEDULE AND TO ENJOY WHAT YOU DO TOO.

“I would recommend RCA. I would recommend it to anyone who feels stuck because it helped me get unstuck. It was worth the investment. I was going back and forth for a couple of weeks before I purchased it but after completing it, I benefited from it a lot. The investment is already returned to me and I’m just starting work. I was able to increase my salary more than I was making in person and that was from learning how to communicate my value and experience in a way I didn’t know before and getting comfortable and confident in my experience.

I’m really satisfied and happy with what I’ve accomplished and it’s opened so many doors. My expectations were exceeded. I’m really happy with how things worked out."

- Kayla

Lindsey landed a remote job in 3.5 months. “I get to go travel the world. It really is a dream come true. And it was worth every penny that I invested into this and more.”

LINDSEY LANDED A FULL-TIME REMOTE JOB IN 3.5 MONTHS, THEN WENT TO TRAVEL THE WORLD.

Lindsey explains why she decided to invest in the 1:1 remote career coaching, “I was laying on the couch scrolling, miserable after a nine to five job and I saw these opportunities to work remote. That's what I decided to take a leap of faith and trust in [Kate's] skills. The coaching helped me achieve things that I thought weren't possible. I get to go travel the world. It really is a dream come true. And it was worth every penny that I invested into this and more."

Within 3.5 months, Lindsey landed a full-time remote job. She then left to travel the world for 4-months on Remote Year.

Dayna Made a Career Transition and Landed a Fully Remote Role in 3 months

DAYNA NEEDED SUPPORT IN MAKING A CAREER TRANSITION FROM EDUCATION TO HUMAN RESOURCES.

“It’s still hard to believe [that I landed this fully remote contract role]. I had this idea [of going remote] in my head for 2 or 3 years and just hadn’t got any forward momentum on it. I need someone to give me the steps and make it not so confusing.

This remote job that I just landed for this independent contract role, is going to pay for the course, so obviously a great investment. I would absolutely recommend [The Remote Career Accelerator program]. It’s more than just applying to jobs - there are other pieces too. I wasn’t really aware of that before starting this course… Just do it!”

- Dayna C.

Ty Landed a Full-Time Remote Job!

TY WAS ABLE TO GAIN CLARITY WITH HIS REMOTE JOB SEARCH, AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF KATE, DEVELOP A SPECIFIC ACTION PLAN FOR LANDING A REMOTE JOB.

"[Before working with Kate] I would get really motivated for a brief time, send out a million resumes and applications. And then queue the rejection. I would get frustrated, upset, and discouraged.

After the session with Kate, I felt really confident. She was super prepared, super organized. I [now have] a plan. And I'm confident that it's going to work out."

Email Update:

“I just signed the official offer letter! Thank you so much for all of your help… [the hiring manager] commented on how I went ‘above and beyond’. So I definitely implemented many of the things you talked about. Thanks again!!! :) :)”

- Ty H.

Denis was Concerned about Ageism and a Career Gap and Successfully Landed a Remote Job.

DENIS WAS NERVOUS ABOUT REENTERING THE WORKFORCE AFTER A CAREER GAP, HE WAS CONCERNED THAT BEING OLDER IN AGE, HE WOULD EXPERIENCE AGEISM, AND HE STRUGGLED WITH LANDING A REMOTE JOB. AFTER WORKING WITH KATE, DENIS LANDED A FULLY REMOTE JOB.

"I've done some other programs and this is easily the best. It was completely worth it. It's been an exceptionally worthwhile program. I've done some other of these programs and this is easily the best, most concrete, and useful. I found it was completely worth it in every respect. I looked at what I was accomplishing on my own, which was very little, and what I got was a structure on how to look for a job and concrete things about what to do... and a lot of what not to do as well. The program has absolutely helped me.”

- Denis

Paula Successfully Landed a Remote Job and Says, “The Remote Career Accelerator helped me a lot. It's worth every penny.

WHEN I GOT THE NEWS (THAT I LANDED THE REMOTE JOB), I CALLED MY MOM RIGHT AWAY. I WAS LIKE, “I GOT THE JOB!” IT WAS AMAZING. IF YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT LANDING A REMOTE JOB, THIS IS THE PROGRAM FOR YOU

"The Remote Career Accelerator helped me a lot. It's worth every penny"

"I felt lost. There was a lot of information on the internet, and I didn’t know where to start... I didn’t want to keep working on the job that I had, I wanted to focus on myself and invest in something that would benefit me.

The Remote Career Accelerator helped me a lot. If you are someone that wants a career change, wants to transition from the 9-5 job into a remote one, more time for yourself, stop having to commute every day or whatever personal reason you are thinking about going remote, do it with Kate and the Remote Career Accelerator program. It is a complete, intensive program that is worth every penny. Take the plunge and invest in yourself, it will be worth it in the end! Thank you so much for everything, Kate!"

- Paula D.

Matt wasn’t sure how his variety of skills and experience translated to a remote job. He landed a remote job and says, “It was definitely worth every penny. It’s helped me in so many different ways.”

GO FOR IT. IT’S TOTALLY WORTH IT AND YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED.

“I would recommend [The Remote Career Accelerator] ten times out of ten. 100%… 120% it was worth every penny. I created confidence. It’s helped me in so many different ways from replying to jobs, communicating my value, and expanding my network. There are so many things this program offers for anyone at any point in time in their career journey. Go for it. It’s totally worth it and you won’t be disappointed.”

- Matt R

Mariel Landed a Fully Remote Job

WORKING WITH [KATE] HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL. I KNEW THIS WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL AND STEER ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. [NOW,] I FEEL REALLY GOOD, I FEEL REALLY CONFIDENT.

I struggle with resumes but you breaking it down just gave me a lot of help and structure and guidance on what to do and not to do, and it's specific to me and I think that's what you get with the one-on-one.

[I would] for sure [recommend it]. It gives you that direction and guidance to go where you need to go”.

- Mariel

Busy Single Mom, Michelle, Knew She Needed Help Landing a Remote Job and She Got the Job!

IT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY LIFE-CHANGING PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.

There is nobody better to work with. You are so responsive and supportive. I just know that you want your clients to succeed and you’ll do whatever you need to do to help guide that person. The coaching has been so amazing. I would 100% recommend the coaching. It’s all I talk about.”

-Michelle

I have recommend you to every one of my friends already. It was worth every cent.

“I NEEDED GUIDANCE. I WAS DOING ALL THIS EFFORT AND HAVING NO RESULT. THE (COACHING) WAS WORTH EVERY CENT.

At the beginning, I had this mentality my marketing experience wasn’t enough and in working with you I realized I have beyond enough experience. I had imposter syndrome. After talking to you and a lot of talks I really feel like I can now get the job I want. I’m excited (about the remote job search). I didn’t know all the steps and now I have a structure to follow… saving me a lot of time.

If you’re positive about going remote, this is a good investment! It gives you structure, secure steps, you’re being intentional with what you do.

I have recommended you to every one of my friends already. I just want to thank you a lot.”

- Andrea A.

It Was One Of The Best Decisions I've Made.

I'M EXCITED NOW TO GET BACK INTO THE JOB SEARCH, WHEREAS [BEFORE I WAS FEELING DEFEATED].

"It was really helpful to me because it broke it down into steps. I have weekly goals I'm trying to meet now going forward. It's been extremely extremely helpful. I'm excited now to get back into the job search, whereas [before I was feeling defeated].

I can't recommend working with Kate enough. I've already referred a couple of people to her. I would strongly recommend that anybody that is looking to go remote take the time, investment the money in yourself, spend some time working with Kate. She's amazing. I can't recommend her enough."

- Tyler

ANDREW LANDED HIS FIRST CLIENT IN 90 DAYS, EXCEEDING HIS HOURLY RATE INCOME GOAL.

Andrew explains, “[After investing in the coaching] things that I've been trying to do for about a year got finished within the first few weeks of us working together. The internet has too much information. I was getting pulled in so many different ways trying to achieve this remote nomad lifestyle. I felt like I was trying my best to do this on my own but I need somebody to guide me down the path. I definitely recommend [the coaching]. Success is on the other side of fear. You just have to do it." - Andrew

  • “Once I started working with Kate, I knew I made the right decision”

    HONESTLY, IF I DIDN’T WORK WITH KATE, I’D STILL BE CRUISING THE JOB BOARDS ON AND OFF, GETTING DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THIS QUEST FOR REMOTE WORK, AND SHELVING THE IDEA ALTOGETHER.

    “Before working with Kate I had no real plan, strategy or effective approach to landing a remote gig. I went through a lot of stops and starts trying to figure out what kind of remote work was best for me, what skills and experiences were in demand, and how to go about landing not just any remote job but my ideal remote job. It was definitely frustrating doing it blindly...and alone. But I decided that 2020 was the year that I’d focus and get it right so I decided to work with a coach for some direction, to have a sounding board, and of course tons of accountability.

    Once I started working with Kate, I knew I made the right decision and I felt so much more positive about this whole experience of creating a new remote career. And... I definitely had more clarity about my future career and how to shape it going forward. The one thing I loved about this program was having constant feedback and ideas directly from Kate. There was a ton of other life sh*t happening as I was going through the program and she still managed to keep me focused on my dream of going remote. Honestly, if I didn’t work with Kate, I’d still be cruising the job boards on and off, getting disappointed about this quest for remote work, and shelving the idea altogether.

    If you’re serious about finally kickstarting your remote career, I’d definitely recommend this program [Remote Career Accelerator] and working with Kate. You’ll get the clarity, focus, and partnership that you need to fast track your remote career dreams.”

  • “The session was fantastic and enlightening. It really helped me to approach my CV and job search from a different angle in order to be more competitive, confident, and concise when selling my skills and experience.”

    “I finally decided that a fully remote career was for me as I need flexibility and WFH capabilities to look after my child, as well as other family members scattered around the world that I would like to visit more. I had been following Kate as an email subscriber for a few years after previous interest in her journey, and thought she would be able to help me translate many of my “in-person” skills to remote skills and match it with a career.

    The session was fantastic and enlightening. It really helped me to approach my CV and job search from a different angle in order to be more competitive, confident, and concise when selling my skills and experience.

    I think that Kate’s experience would be valuable to others in a similar position to me - unsure about which direction to go to find a suitable remote career path because of a very different or varied employment history. Your career is no different from a business, the more you invest in development and training, the more you will develop.”

    - Matt, Toronto

  • "Kate exceeded [my] expectations. I have and will recommend Kate to anyone looking for remote work."

    "I was so excited to have a coaching session with Kate. I wasn't sure what to expect, but Kate exceeded the expectations I did have. The conversation was easy and she made great use of our time covering a handful of topics and issues seamlessly. I had been struggling to find a bridge between my skills and what I want to do and within minutes of hearing this, Kate had suggestions that felt like they fit me. I had also been aimlessly applying for any job that fit my skills and Kate provided feedback and action items to pivot and start moving in a more productive direction.

    I have and will recommend Kate to anyone looking for remote work or even career clarity. I have already gained so much knowledge from the Resume Builder course and our coaching session on how to improve my search and I can’t wait to implement everything I’ve learned."

    - Skylar V.

  • "I feel 10 times more confident and joyful about finding a remote job that I do truly love."

    [Kate] is so easy to follow and understand.”

    - Heidi

  • "I was struggling with clarifying my next career steps. In just one hour [Kate] helped me declutter my mind. I felt energized and more optimistic!"

    "I was struggling with clarifying my next career steps as I had too many ideas and possible directions to go in and felt frozen. I had identified that a remote job could be a good solution for my needs but did not know much about this modality of working prior to speaking with Kate.

    I selected Kate based on her extensive expertise in remote working, international living as well as professional online presentation. Not only did Kate share with me her knowledge about working remote but she also helped me quickly put aside career options that were not fitting my overall goals but I was having trouble letting go of. In just one hour she helped me declutter my mind and hone in on several practical options that prioritize my needs. Furthermore, she gave me actionable assignments to move forward on my job search and after meeting with her I felt energized and more optimistic!"

    - Kate B.

  • “[It] was an unbelievable and life-changing experience. I've been wanting to quit my 9-5 job and go remote for years and [this] gave me the final push I needed to finally go for it.”
