Blue Star Families and Instant Teams (previously known as MadSkills) recently chatted about remote work and navigating the space. Instant Teams founder, Erica McMannes, popped into Networks Live! to share her experience as a work-from-home employee and now a biz owner who staffs and manages virtual teams. Here we share her tips for finding remote work:
“Whether you were totally in love with the career field you originally chose, or like me, you knew it wasn’t the best fit, you’ve likely had questions about the spaces, places + gaps on your resume. Let’s face it: it’s not always easy to find a job you love (or a job at all) where you are stationed.”
“For those spouses who want to utilize those advanced skills that they worked so hard to obtain, Instant Teams is providing great opportunities.”
“The Women of Excellence Awards Program recognizes and celebrate the accomplishments of successful women entrepreneurs and community leaders. Each year NAWBO Richmond asks the local community to nominate deserving female entrepreneurs and business owners for 5 award categories: Rising Star, Entrepreneur of the Year, Community Leader, STEM and Student Entrepreneur of the Year.”
“I’ve ended up with lateral moves, in sectors I didn’t love, just because it’s what was available in our new city at the time. Now my job (that I love) through Instant Teams can come with me wherever we go, as long as I have my computer.”
