Welcome to Get Hired 101 🎉
Welcome to the Community 🚀
You made it.
You’re here because you’re done playing by rules that were never built for you.
Let me tell you how I ended up here—and why this community exists.
The Plan Was Simple
I was born and raised in the US. Colombian parents, but fully American. I never imagined living anywhere else.
I thought I knew the playbook:
• Move to a big city
• Get the corporate job
• Climb the ladder
• “Make it”
So I did exactly that.
I moved to New York City, started grinding, building my career, following the script perfectly.
Then March 2020 hit.
Everything shut down. The office vanished overnight.
The ladder I’d been climbing? Gone.
The system I was working toward? No longer existed.
Suddenly I was stuck in an apartment in NYC watching my plans dissolve.
I had two options:
• Panic and hope things “went back to normal,” or
• Pivot and figure out what came next
I chose to pivot.
Everything Changed
My job went fully remote, and at first, I thought it would be great.
It wasn’t.
I burned out—badly.
With no structure, no boundaries, no direction, I eventually left that job completely fried.
Then came the hardest part: almost two years of wandering professionally.
I applied to hundreds of jobs a day.
I said yes to anything.
I tried to stay remote at all costs.
But I had no plan. No strategy. Just desperation and hope.
It was exhausting.
Demoralizing.
And honestly, humiliating at times.
Yet somewhere in all that chaos… something clicked.
I realized the jobs I did land—the ones that actually worked out—weren’t coming from the spray-and-pray approach.
They came from something different.
Something unconventional.
So I started paying attention.
Reverse-engineering.
Testing.
Refining.
Slowly, things shifted.
I wasn’t just surviving anymore—I was figuring out the game.
My Priorities Changed
I didn’t want to go back to an office.
I didn’t want a commute.
I didn’t want to live somewhere just because “that’s where the good jobs are.”
I wanted freedom.
I wanted to design my life.
I wanted to choose where I lived—not let a job choose it for me.
So five years ago, I made the call:
I moved to Colombia.
Not because I was giving up on anything—
but because what I was chasing had completely changed.
From there, everything accelerated:
• I built my career intentionally
• Landed roles using unconventional strategies
• Worked with dozens of companies
• Climbed to Fractional Director of Customer Success, leading a team of 8
• Built a company (Get On A Pod) from the ground up
• Generated hundreds of thousands in revenue over two years
And none of it would’ve happened if I’d stayed on the traditional path.
Then I Started Noticing Something…
As I worked with more companies, something became painfully obvious:
LATAM talent is massively underestimated—completely unfairly.
I kept seeing:
• Skilled professionals getting ghosted once recruiters saw their location
• Senior candidates being offered junior salaries
• Incredible talent being filtered out by systems not built to recognize them
• Perfectly qualified applicants being ignored
And it pissed me off.
Because I knew these people could compete.
I knew they had the skills.
I knew they could do the job better than most US candidates.
They just didn’t know how to show it.
Meanwhile, I had been doing this for years.
Landing role after role.
Building income streams.
Navigating US hiring from outside the US.
I kept thinking:
If I can do this, why can’t they?
So I Tested It
Could I teach it?
Could I help someone who was stuck in the same cycle—applying, getting ghosted, thinking their location was the problem?
I started working with people.
One at a time.
Teaching them:
• How to position themselves
• Where international-friendly roles actually exist
• How to interview in a US style
• How to negotiate confidently
• How to compete on equal footing
And it worked.
Dozens of LATAM professionals landed real opportunities.
Not junior roles for senior skills.
Not lowball offers.
Real jobs with companies that valued their talent.
That’s when I realized:
This was bigger than just me.
Here’s What I Know Now
The system isn’t broken.
It’s just not built for LATAM professionals.
US companies want global talent.
But:
• Recruiters don’t know how to evaluate international experience
• Hiring managers hesitate because they’ve never worked with LATAM talent
• Automated systems filter out qualified applicants
You’re not getting rejected because you’re not good enough.
You’re getting rejected because you don’t know how to translate your value into their language.
Your English? An asset.
Your timezone overlap? A competitive advantage.
Your skills? Better than you think.
The only missing piece is positioning—how you package and present your value so it becomes undeniable.
I’ve lived on both sides:
• The traditional US corporate world
• The fully remote LATAM-based career rebuild
And I know exactly where the disconnect is.
That gap—that’s what I’m here to fix.
Why This Community Exists
I got tired of watching talented people:
• Apply to hundreds of jobs with no response
• Settle for salaries far below their value
• Wonder if their location was the problem
• Doubt whether they could ever land a US role
So I built this community.
Not a job board.
Not a passive course.
Not empty theory.
A real training community built around the exact strategies that worked for me—and for dozens of LATAM professionals who now earn what they deserve.
No fluff.
No fake promises.
Just what actually works.
You’re in the Right Place
If you’re tired of applications disappearing into the void…
If you’re done settling for less…
If you’re ready to compete for real US opportunities…
Welcome. You found your community.
We’re going to help you:
• Land the role
• Get paid what you’re worth
• Build the career you deserve
• Create a life you actually want
Let’s make it happen—together.
Welcome to the community. 🔥
