Don't be so afraid to apply to jobs even if you think you're not 100% up to speed. Job descriptions are a wish list, like what some folks write on their online dating profiles - they'll settle for "less", especially if "less" means a keen, interested person who is personable and will work hard but doesn't have every exact skill they asked for.

Honestly, you don't want to work somewhere that isn't okay with a bit of on-the-job training anyhow. So be brave, and apply, and learn to enjoy quick rejection because it moves you closer to your goal.

Thanks. Any guidance on how to find such remote opportunities?
