Episode Details

The Caribbean has genuine remote work advantages: English fluency, cultural alignment with North America, strong technical education, so why isn't the opportunity converting at scale? 

In this episode, I break down the real, data backed reasons the Caribbean remote work gap exists, and it's not the reason most people think. From IMF brain drain figures to a LinkedIn presence problem that's bigger than anyone admits, this is a no fluff look at what's actually holding Caribbean professionals back, and what to do about it starting today.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why the "just get a degree" advice is outdated for global hiring
• The truth about ATS systems and why 92% of recruiters aren't auto-rejecting your resume
• Why your location filter might be quietly killing your job search
• The staggering LinkedIn visibility gap facing Caribbean professionals
• What Latin America's remote work boom can teach (and warn) the Caribbean
