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!!! 👏🙏👏

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!

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

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

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

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

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

I read and retain at a very accelerated level

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: 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.

This job allows me to work remotely with amazing people, be there for my daughter, grow my own business and enjoy life more!

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

Make sure you read and follow the requirements of the posting, be brave enough to put yourself out there, do your research to make sure you want to work with them and know how to tell them you’re a great fit.

HireMyMom Success Story: Nicole Smith

Tell us about you and your experience finding work on HireMyMom

Once I decided I was going to change my career path to work from home, I spent the time creating my account and really being mindful of my skills and what I’m able to offer others. I checked in daily and applied for jobs as they came through. I did a few zoom interviews with some very nice people. I was lucky because within a few weeks I had a part-time job offer which actually turned into a full-time job within about a month. I’m now able to work from the comfort of my beautiful home office, no more fluorescent lights 🙂

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

My best advice for landing a new gig is to spend the time really filling in your profile and don’t be afraid to show your personality. Also, finding a job isn’t going to happen overnight, so patience is needed. Don’t be afraid to reach out to the career coaches and other resources to help you.

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

The transition can be a little scary and stressful so make sure you have good organizational skills and processes in place, that will make the transition into your new normal much smoother.

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

I’m VERY introverted and this journey has definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone but that’s ok because it’s worth it. I am actively searching for more opportunities as well!

HireMyMom Success Story: Lauren Gamboa

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

I quit my full-time job as a bookkeeper two years ago when my youngest child was born. I recently joined Hire My Mom and have found several leads! Though I haven’t landed a bookkeeping position quite yet, I have been hired to do some web research.

I’m making great money and working when and however much I want to. All while staying home with my kids! This job has allowed me to get my foot in the door as a work-from-home mom. Plus, my membership has more than paid for itself and have found several leads!

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

My top tip is to check every single job post. Even though I’ve been specifically looking for bookkeeping jobs, I landed a job doing web research because I checked every single one. Have an open mind and you might find something great that you’re qualified for!

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

Not everyone finds success when trying to start a freelance business on their own. When you’re first starting out, instead of putting all your focus on branding yourself and finding clients on your own, check the job boards for remote positions and apply to as many as you can. The key is to just start and get that money coming in!

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

Definitely becoming a mom. Raising my kids has made me grow in so many different ways. I can’t imagine life without them!

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

One of my goals in life is to be bilingual. I study Spanish every day and I’m currently at the intermediate level. I hope to become fluent one day!

Success Story : Tiffany Fulle

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

I was just starting my VA business on the side in January 2021 but I felt lost. I was looking for any and all resources that would help me be the most successful. I found the HireMyMom site mentioned on The Free Mama FB page. I’d never heard of it so I looked it up. I was shocked that there were so many legitimate positions available on the site. I signed up for the 3-day free trial on February 6, 2021 and applied about about 5 jobs right away. I had my first interview on February 10 and my second on February 12 with two different clients that I am still serving today (it’s June)! My husband was in a motorcycle accident in March (he’s okay now) but it catapulted me into working from home while he was recovering. I was so thankful that I could serve these clients while I was traveling back and forth to the hospital and be flexible with my kids schedules. I’ve continually applied for other positions and just landed my third HireMyMom client!! I love them all even though they are all extremely different. This site changed my life, and I wish that I had found it years ago when I first had my babies (who are now 7 and 4) but I wouldn’t change the journey that we’ve been on. I’m just so grateful to have found it now. I also have told many of my friends about it! It’s a game changer!

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

Have a strong resume or skills sheet, add a photo to it! (Hint: check out Canva.) Be a real person. We are not robots so be yourself when you interview. When you apply, make sure you read the descriptions and instructions in full and follow up with an email shortly after; this is your first impression with the potential employer or client, make it count.

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

Have courage to reach out and apply even if you feel you don’t check every box on a “skills needed” list. Value your soft skills as well as your hard skills!

What do you see as your greatest success in life?

My kids are my world, and I do everything for them. I’m 100% a better mom and wife now that I have more flexibility and control with my work.

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

I’m a Harry Potter nerd 🙂
