Welcome back to The Hired Hub, your go-to podcast for career growth, remote job opportunities, and insider recruitment tips!
In this episode, we sat down with Evelyn Oropeza, a seasoned Talent Acquisition Specialist, who shared her expert advice for anyone preparing to land remote US jobs. Whether you’re just starting your remote job search or looking to level up your interview game, this episode is packed with valuable lessons and practical advice.
Evelyn highlights some of the most frequent mistakes candidates make during the hiring process.
💡 Tip to find jobs: Before applying, research the company on platforms like LinkedIn or Glassdoor to understand its culture and expectations. This helps ensure the role aligns with your goals.
Transparency is essential at every stage of recruitment. Evelyn explains that many candidates hesitate to share honest information—whether about skills, salary expectations, or availability. But hiding the truth only creates mismatches later.
Being upfront about your experience not only builds trust but also positions you as a professional who values integrity. Recruiters appreciate candidates who know their worth and communicate clearly.
At the same time, candidates should remember that unconscious biases exist in hiring. Studies show that employers sometimes unintentionally favor certain profiles (Harvard Business Review, 2019). Open communication, thoughtful questions, and mutual honesty can help overcome these barriers and create a more inclusive hiring process.
Remote work has grown significantly in recent years—over 80% of companies now offer remote roles in some form. With so many candidates competing, differentiation is key. Evelyn shared a few actionable strategies:
💡 Interview tips: Prepare answers to common behavioral questions using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). It’s a simple framework that helps you give structured, compelling answers without rambling.
Q: What’s the best way to start a remote job search?
A: Begin by updating your resume in English and ensuring your LinkedIn profile is recruiter-friendly. Then, focus on platforms that specialize in remote US jobs, like Hired Remoteli.
Q: How can I avoid rejections?
A: Read job descriptions carefully, customize your application, and apply only when you’re confident you meet the main requirements. Quality beats quantity in job applications.
Q: Any quick recruitment tips before an interview?
A: Test your tech setup (camera, mic, internet), prepare 2–3 thoughtful questions for the recruiter, and practice a concise self-introduction.
Landing your dream remote role isn’t just about luck—it’s about strategy. From understanding job descriptions to mastering communication and personal branding, every step matters. Evelyn’s insights remind us that preparation and authenticity are what truly set candidates apart.
