Straight talk

Is this for you?

Be honest with yourself. This is built for one kind of person, and it will tell you plainly if that is not you.

YES

This is for you if you

  • Are applying to foreign or remote employers and hearing nothing back
  • Send the same CV to every job and hope
  • Don't know what tracking software sees when it reads your CV
  • Have work that "doesn't count" and don't know how to show it
  • Want a LinkedIn profile that backs your CV up
  • Will do the tasks, not just watch

Sound like you?

Get The Shortlist
NO

Not for you if you want

  • A guaranteed job or interview. Nobody honest can promise that
  • Someone else to write your CV for you
  • Keyword tricks instead of a CV that is true
  • To watch the videos without doing the tasks
  • An office job here in the Philippines

Questions

How is this different from The Client's Side?

The Client's Side is the complete path: choosing your service, a portfolio, writing like a UK or US professional, AI, the interview and your first week. Its CV lesson is the overview. The Shortlist is the deep version of that one step: every CV, letter, form answer and profile, and a campaign to send them.

Do I need experience?

No. Lesson 2 pulls out everything you have done, including the jobs people think "don't count", and lesson 3 turns it into a CV.

Is this only for VAs?

It is built for Filipino VAs, freelancers and job seekers applying to foreign and remote employers. The worked example is a VA, and the method works for any remote role.

Is it live or recorded?

Recorded. All eight lessons are yours at once, so you go at your own pace, pause and rewatch.

What do I need?

A laptop or computer, a stable internet connection and a free Google account. The videos play on a phone, but building a CV is easier on a computer.

Will this get me a job?

It will make your CV, letter and profile much stronger. No course can promise you a job or an interview, and you should be wary of any that does.

How long do I keep access?

For life.

How do I pay?

At the secure checkout, by GCash, Maya or card. Your card and wallet details never reach us.

Can I ask a question before I pay?Yes. Email Wez and you will get a personal reply.
