Let's stop pretending "apply to a few remote jobs" is a plan.
You're not here because job hunting in the U.S. is going great. You're here because you've applied to roles overseas and heard absolutely nothing back — not even a rejection, just silence — and somewhere in there you decided a remote job was going to be the loophole that gets you out.
I've landed jobs abroad every way it's possible to land one: transferred with a company, moved without a job and figured it out on the ground, and landed an offer from the U.S. before I ever set foot in the country. I know exactly why your applications are going nowhere, and it's not because you're not qualified.
This site is where you stop refreshing your inbox for nothing and start applying with an actual strategy.
It's an entire strategy that most Americans never learn.
When you're trying to get hired abroad, everything gets more complicated at once:
Which countries will actually sponsor you, how their hiring process differs from ours, what your resume and cover letter need to look like to survive the first filter, how interviews and negotiations work when a visa is riding on the outcome.
Most people don't fail to get hired abroad because they're not good enough. They fail because the internet sends them down a dozen contradicting rabbit holes that never actually tell them what to do first.
My work fixes that. We get clear, strategic, and realistic about what it actually takes.

Hey there, new Friend!
I'm Mistelle
I got my start of moving abroad as a newborn, surviving my first international move at only 6-weeks old. After moving around more than 20 times in my life, I took my first adult international move in 2013 to Switzerland with my husband, two cats, and a job I'd transferred with me from North Carolina. (Easiest move I made hiring-wise, and I still had no idea what I was doing).
Move two was Vienna, with a six-month-old, and no job lined up. I got ghosted more times than I care to count, and finally landed a job when I stopped being "too American" and started following the local rules.
When we moved. back to Switzerland in 2020, during the height of the pandemic, I had a job offer already in hand before we packed a box. Same country as move one. Completely different experience... because I actually knew how hiring abroad works.
So I've done it every way possible: transferred, unemployed and winging it, and hired from outside the country. I know exactly what it takes to 'get hired abroad.'
If I can land a job and move my family across borders during a global pandemic, I can help you stop getting ghosted and actually get hired too.
You've got questions. We've got answers.
Yes. Companies sponsor people from abroad all the time. What actually stops it from happening isn't your location, it's applying to companies that were never set up to sponsor anyone in the first place, or applying in a way that gets filtered out before a human ever sees it.
Sometimes, for a specific slice of visas and countries, a remote job works.
Most of the time it's a workaround people reach for because nobody's shown them the actual options, and quietly working remote for a U.S. company on a tourist visa is illegal.
Depends on your industry and target country, but most people land something in a few focused months of strategic applying, not the year-plus of scattershot applying most people are stuck in right now.
It depends. Plenty of markets hire in English, others won't let you start without the language. This is part of the process you'll learn in the Find, Apply, Close framework.
