HireMyMom Mom Professional Success Story- Teresa Rush

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.  Please add some details to help others experience your journey

I paid for the “VIP Platinum Mom Professional” subscription. I needed a place that understood that me being a mom is my number one priority and Hire My Mom is straight forward about that. I paid for the subscription September 25 and I had two interviews for jobs I applied for by September 30! I had been job searching for 3 months with no interviews before that on other career sites. This place saved my job searching journey! I now have a full-time work from home job that is perfect for me and my lifestyle. All thanks for Hire My Mom!

What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?

Make sure your resume lines up with the job you are applying for. Read through all the notes in their job description because I missed one that said to send a video so I missed out on that opportunity for not reading the whole description.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your work from home journey?

To have a specific spot set up to do your work. Set a start and stop time. I get caught doing work way after work hours because my work is right here in my house! Set those boundaries.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

My greatest success is being able to be home while my babies are growing up.

What is something about you that many people don’t know?

I played volleyball in college.

Success Story- Mia

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom

I just gave birth January of 2024 and am exclusively breastfeeding. I could not go back to my job as a hairstylist because we had no one to watch our daughter and hiring someone we did not know or placing her somewhere was NOT an option! I knew I absolutely HAD to get a job from home. I needed something flexible as I am always needed with my daughter being breastfed and still so little. I have searched since February for a job. I found this website someone on FB told me about. I couldn’t swing the monthly payment but I did the free 3-day trial and applied real quick in hopes someone would reach out to me. Well surely enough just this past week I received an email from one of the positions I applied for during that 3-day free trial. I completely forgot about it and surely enough I got offered the position!!! The best part is, is that it is perfect for what my family needs right now!!! So thankful for hiremymom! Thank you Jesus!!! 👏🙏👏

What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?

Update your resume, make it unique, and keep applying!

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your work from home journey?

It won’t be easy and you may get denied many times but keep applying and don’t give up!!!

Becoming Manager at my first job because of my strong work ethic and maturity!

What is something about you that many people don’t know?

I don’t give up easily. I do my part and I let God do the rest! I will always give God ALL the Glory!

HireMyMom Mom Professional Success Story-Amber Bosworth

 

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.

I had been searching for a remote job since my first son was born 6 years ago. I tried so many different things. I submitted dozens of resumes, but I never even got an interview. I have a Master’s Degree and am a Navy veteran, but I never got a remote job. I just had my second son 3 months ago and I had a renewed drive to work from home. I joined HireMyMom last month and I have just accepted a Full-Time remote job! Also, I have a possibility of a part-time job to do along side it. I can’t believe it! I’m beyond grateful for this platform.

 

What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?

What worked best for me was creating a new cover letter for each job. Read through the job completely to make sure you are doing what they need you to. Don’t skimp on the Cover Letters. Use them as a tool to really showcase your abilities and desire to work for them.

 

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your work from home journey?

Put together a great system to help you on those days that you don’t feel good.

 

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Having my kids is the biggest success of my life and creating a home environment where I can be there for them is top priority.

 

What is something about you that many people don’t know?

I have been in community theater for 30 years. I’m an avid thespian.

Success Story- Erika Sheets

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.

HireMyMom was an upgraded experience from the start! I was impressed with the obviously curated collection of employers and opportunities, particularly compared with the grind of the standard job sites. I also noticed how much more responsive employers were, probably in part because they, too have a select audience. I am delighted to have found the perfect job at the perfect time thanks to HireMyMom!

Concise resume, personal note with application, find, connect with & message the hiring manager on LinkedIn

Successful remote work requires strong executive functioning skills, initiative and self-discipline.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Introducing other to Jesus Christ

Employer Success Story- Marty Stevens-Heebner

What is your top advice for small business owners looking to hire remote talent?

Be patient, be respectful and ask a lot of questions. Remember that each step of the interview is part of the hiring process. How swiftly do they respond to your emails? How’s their spelling and grammar in those emails? Potential hires should be on their best behavior to get you to hire them and, if they disappoint you during the hiring process, it will only go downhill if you hire them.

What is your top tip for working with a virtual team?

Be respectful and remember to say “please,” “thank you,” and “I’m sorry,” when the latter is necessary. You set the tone. Also, you need to strike that delicate balance between keeping in touch but not micro-managing. In the beginning, there’s always a learning curve. Once your new hire shows they have a good grasp of what you want them to accomplish, trust them.

Why did you decide to use HireMyMom.com for your hiring needs?

Another business owner raved about HIreMyMom so I knew I had to try it out – and I did so, successfully.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your business career?

Be patient with others – and yourself. Mistakes will happen. Correct things and keep moving forward.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Chronic depression runs in my family and I consider learning to manage mine as a huge success. One doesn’t conquer chronic depression. I had to dig down deep and figure out how to handle my own responses to events, and how to make sense of them. My life is full of contentment now, and the fulfillment I feel now is hard-won and transformative.

Employer Success Story- Justin Silver

What is your top advice for small business owners looking to hire remote talent?

Have a very specific vision for what you’d like your remote team member to do. Also have scheduled check ins to make sure they are supported.

What is your top tip for working with a virtual team?

Don’t over do it with the zooms and google meets. Virtual fatigue is real and requires that teams take the necessary time off each day to stay hydrated and focused. Start your meetings with a 5 minute break every once in a while to give the team time to decompress.

Why did you decide to use HireMyMom.com for your hiring needs?

I heard great things about the platform from a friend and fellow entrepreneur.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your business career?

Even people who are senior to you are just people. There is no need to be nervous when talking to anyone, they’re all just people.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Creating an exciting company with an amazing co-founder!

Success Story- Kandi Johnson

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom.

I signed up with Hire My Mom last month when I signed up for The Savvy System. I’m an experienced virtual assistant, and really appreciate the resources that are available through Hire My Mom. The positions are fully vetted and real positions with reputable companies.

What are your top tips for landing a job or jobs on HireMyMom.com?

Be honest about what your skills and experience are (not what you hope to have experience in or just dabble in) and sign on every day to review new posts. Also have a clear resume prepared and do compose a thoughtful cover letter.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your work from home journey?

Set boundaries with your family, create personal time away from work, and have a work space that is defined as yours that you can enter in with a mind/body ready to work and step away from to help disengage your mind (otherwise you feel like you are working 24/7).

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Being flexible and willing to learn has brought me the greatest experiences!

Employer Success Story- Judy Schramm

What is your top advice for small business owners looking to hire remote talent?

Get crystal clear in your own head about what you want your new hire to accomplish, down to specific tasks, a 90-day onboarding and training plan, and how you will know they are successful at the 30, 60 and 90 day points.

What is your top tip for working with a virtual team?

Over-communicate, especially during the first month.

Why did you decide to use HireMyMom.com for your hiring needs?

We usually use LinkedIn to hire, but for this specific role we thought there was a better chance of finding the right person on HireMyMom.com. We placed an ad to run for a week, had three applicants and hired two of them. The process was so smooth and effortless. We are delighted with the caliber of talent that is available through HireMyMom!

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your business career?

Obstacles make you stronger.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

My kids, who are amazing and have brought great joy into my life.

Employer Success Story: Petra Wintner

What is your top advice for small business owners looking to hire remote talent?

This tip for me is true whether you hire remote or on-site talent, but for remote talent it is actually easier to implement: Before you actually hire, do a clearly communicated trial period. This period should be paid, but the expectation on both ends should be clear, that only after the period a decision for hiring is made. Depending on what you are hiring for this can be anything between a week and 2-3 months. There should be clearly defined goals/deliverables to be achieved during this period and the working mode should already resemble the future work mode.

What is your top tip for working with a virtual team?

Create communication channels that resemble an “office environment”, e.g. a Slack workspace, which can be used for questions as you would ask them walking over to a colleagues desk and set clear rules and expectations around the use of these communication channels: e.g. I might not look at my emails for the better part of a workday, because I batch my email-time, but I check messages on Slack immediately and try to answer asap.

Why did you decide to use HireMyMom.com for your hiring needs?

Because we are a service for parents/mothers and I was looking for someone with marketing experience, who understands the target group well. The “part-time working mom” is in my opinion an ideal employee profile combining high caliber with interest in working part-time and is therefore ideal at the stage of my business, where I cannot afford to hire a full-time resource, but need someone with experience, who can work independently.

What piece of advice do you wish someone had given you at the start of your business career?

I was lucky to start my career at a small company, where my contributions were more visible (to both superiors as well as clients) right from the start. While for me, it was coincidence, I would actually recommend, purposefully considering small businesses for a career.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

That – at least so far – I managed to lead a life, where I was always content with my career and private life balance.
