Resume Writer & Remote Career Coach + I’m “That Remote Guy” 🙋🏻‍♂️ Helping people find the remote career they’ve dreamed of in less time + Join 30K+ on the Escape the Cubicle Newsletter👇

You can work from anywhere. I’ll show you how. 👇

A Google search back in 2015 changed the course of my career, “How do you make money online?”

I was at a crossroads in my career and ready to make a change. I knew it was time to start building my own thing, a thing that someone couldn’t take away overnight. 

After discovering the world of freelancing, I replaced my income and never looked back. By the second year, I was able to triple that income (more than I ever thought possible) because of one platform: LinkedIn

LinkedIn allowed me to connect with clients all over the world, right at my fingertips. The opportunities that LinkedIn has opened up have been life-changing.

Now, I get to help others use LinkedIn to build a remote career as a Career Coach & Resume Writer and their own profitable brand as a Growth Strategist. I’ll help coach you on growing an online income through LinkedIn, a newsletter (like Substack), and a digital product.

…oh, and I still write amazing, interview-winning resumes if you need that. Just send a DM, and I’ll provide a free review for you. Or email it to me at (JohnHancockResumes@gmail.com).

There's a better way to work. Let me show you how to find it.

Leaving a job because of a toxic boss isn’t weakness. It’s called self-preservation and being brave. 


I spent two years trying to "make it work" with a boss who constantly undermined me.

I watched my confidence erode. My Sunday nights became anxiety-filled. My health suffered.

Then I finally left.

Within two months at my new company, I realized something profound: I wasn't the problem. I never was.

Here's the truth: 

✅ 57% of people have quit specifically because of their boss, with another 37% considering it. (from DDI Development Dimensions International)

You're not alone if you're thinking about making that move.

What we tolerate becomes our standard. Every day you stay in a toxic work environment, you're telling yourself that's what you deserve.

The most courageous career move isn't always climbing higher. Sometimes it's walking away.

Watch for these warning signs that it's time to go:

📌 Your boss takes credit for your wins but blames you for their mistakes

📌 You receive unclear expectations then face criticism for not meeting them

📌 Your physical wellbeing or your mental health is declining

📌 You're constantly questioning your own competence at work 

📌 You can't remember the last time you were recognized for your work

A staggering 82% of American workers say they would quit their job because of a bad manager. The problem is, many don't, believing it reflects poorly on them.

Let me be clear: Leaving a toxic boss isn't failure. It's an act of self-respect.

I'll never forget the dream job I thought I had locked down. And then ghosted. 


Four rounds of interviews. Met with the hiring manager twice. Presented to the team. 

Even had a final conversation with the VP where he said, "We're really excited about bringing you on board. You'll hear from us this week."

Four weeks later, No call. No email. Not even a generic rejection.

I followed up once. Then twice. Then realized I was chasing people who clearly didn't respect my time enough to send a two-sentence email.

Here's what made it worse: I'd turned down other interviews because I thought this was a done deal.

That experience taught me something I'll never forget: How a company treats you during the hiring process is exactly how they'll treat you as an employee.

And companies wonder why they can't attract top talent.

Here's the reality: Every person you ghost tells 10 other people about the experience.

If you're hiring: Send the email. Even if it's a template. Even if it's bad news.

Candidates deserve basic human decency, not radio silence.

And if you're job searching: Remember that ghosting tells you everything you need to know about that company.

You didn't dodge a bullet. You dodged a whole firing squad. 

Has this ever happened to you?

The most inspiring story I've been part of this year wasn't about a 25-year-old founder.


It was about Margaret, my client who started her coaching business at 68.

After spending 40 years as a nurse, raising three kids, and surviving a divorce that wiped out her savings, she came to me ready to build something of her own.

No business degree, No email list, No idea how to start a Substack or sell coaching.

Just decades of experience helping people and a refusal to let age define what she could build.

We started from scratch. Built her Substack and then launched her pilot coaching program. Figured it out step by step.

Today? She's at 1,000+ subscribers and her coaching program is slowing booking out. She's making more than she ever did as a nurse doing work that finally feels like hers.

But you won't see Margaret on any "30 Under 30" list. You won't read her story in business magazines celebrating "young disruptors."

Because we're obsessed with early success. With people who "made it" by 25. With the idea that if you haven't figured it out by 40, you've somehow missed your window.

But some of the best work happens after 50. After 60. After life has given you the wisdom that only comes from actually living.

The 55-year-old who finally published their book after years of rejection.

The 62-year-old who started a business after being laid off and told they were "too senior."

The 70-year-old still learning, still growing, still proving that ambition doesn't retire.

Those are the stories we should be celebrating.

Age isn't a deadline. It's just more experience to build from.

📌 if you’re ready to building something of your own in 2026? 

I created a “LinkedIn Growth Guide” breaking down how I grew to 150K followers here and built a business around it.

If you’d like a copy, just comment “GUIDE” I’ll send it over to you.

The worst career advice I’ve ever heard: "Just give it more time. It'll get better."


I've watched too many people torture themselves staying in places that are slowly wearing them down.

Their mental health is suffering, confidence is shot, skills are stagnating.

All because someone convinced them that leaving "looks bad" or that they need to "stick it out."

Here's what actually happens when you stay too long in a toxic place:

-You normalize behavior you'd never accept anywhere else…

-You start believing the problem is you, not the environment…

-You waste years trying to prove yourself to people who've already decided not to see your value…

I've had clients stay in toxic jobs for three, four, five years because they were scared of what leaving would look like on their resume.

Every single one? Wished they'd left sooner.

Your resume doesn't need to show endurance or blind “loyalty.” It needs to show growth.

And sometimes growth means knowing when to leave.

Stop sacrificing your mental health to avoid an awkward conversation in an interview.

Staying in the wrong place doesn't make you loyal. It makes you unavailable for the opportunities you actually deserve.

Leave. Recover. Find better.

That's not quitting. That's self-preservation.

Six years in the same role. Zero promotions. Zero growth opportunities.


Jessica had been at the same company for six years.

Same role. Same salary range. Same empty promises about "future opportunities."

She was good at her job. Actually, she was great at it. But there was nowhere to go. 

When we first talked, she knew she needed to leave. But she was paralyzed.

"What if I can't find anything better? What if I'm not as marketable as I think? What if this is as good as it gets?"

So she stayed. Watching her skills plateau while her frustration grew.

Here's what I told her: You're not going to grow in a place that's already decided you're done growing.

So, we built a 90-day exit plan. Targeted roles that actually matched what she wanted. Got her resume in front of the right people.

She put the work in. By the end of summer, she had an offer. 

Fully remote. Higher pay. And actual growth opportunities, not just vague promises in performance reviews.

Here’s the truth: You can't outgrow a space that's designed to keep you small.

You can work harder. Stay later. Prove yourself over and over. 

But if the ceiling is low, you're just going to keep hitting your head on it.

If you've been in the same place too long with nothing to show for it, the problem isn't you.

It's the environment you're trying to grow in.
Change it. And watch what happens.

Rachel stayed at her company for four years waiting to be seen.


Four years of coming in early. Staying late. Taking on projects nobody else wanted.

Her manager kept saying she "wasn't ready yet" for a promotion. 

Meanwhile, less experienced people kept moving up around her…

When she finally quit, her manager seemed shocked. "We were going to promote you next quarter."

Sure they were.

Here's where Rachel went: She found a company that saw her value immediately.

Within six months at her new company, she got the promotion her old job said she wasn't ready for. 

Within a year, she was leading projects her old manager said were "above her level."

Her old team reached out last month asking if she'd consider coming back as a senior manager.

She declined. She didn't need validation from people who spent four years overlooking her.

The thing about toxic workplaces is they convince you your value is tied to their opinion. 

That if they don't see what you bring, maybe you don't bring much.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is stop waiting for people to see your worth and go somewhere that already does.

You don't need their table. Build your own. 

Or find one that's been waiting for exactly what you bring.

Clean drinking water for everyone! Tokenizing water wells for humanity. It's actually quite profitable too 😉 Web3 Early Adopter and Investor. 25k+ Followers & 24M+ Impressions/Year 💧 HYDRATION IS WEALTH & HEALTH.

Hi! My name is Sören (yes, you can write Soren) and I love that you want to learn what I'm about. 🔥
I'm an entrepreneur and investor passionate about web3, impact, business, freedom, growth and the human mind (it's so powerful once you really understand the mind).

I am building one of the biggest, if not THE BIGGEST web3 impact project.

Water150 by Longhouse Foundation is committed to securing abundant life on earth for 150 years by setting the global long-term value of drinking water.

We think it's crazy that...
-1 billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water (1.6 billion by 2030)
-Water is polluted, overconsumed & misallocated
-The current economic system does not have anything in common with securing human life on earth

We envision a world in which...
-Everyone has access to clean drinking water
-Water ecosystems are protected globally
-Our economic system benefits our planet & human life on earth

We're now looking for strategic investors, advisors & partners who truly care about creating a positive impact in the world.
Sounds interesting? Send an InMail or connection request (with message).

Or check out our website: www.water150.io

💰 I also invest in web3 projects and am very involved in the space. 

I hope you enjoy my content & would love to learn more about you.

Also, don't make any financial decisions based on what I say. I AM NOT A FINANCIAL ADVISOR & do not intend to advise anyone.

Chief Operations Officer

With Longhouse Water150, I am building one of the biggest, if not THE BIGGEST web3 impact project.
🌊 Water is the foundation of life itself. 80% of global biodiversity can be found near natural springs, untouched by mankind. A human being needs about 1 000 liters (264 gallons) of water every year to sustain a healthy life. 

But clean drinking water is scarce, and that is a global problem, yes USA & Europe are affected in many areas as well!

The UN predicts that by 2030, 1.6 billion people will be lacking access to clean drinking water.

We will secure 1000 spring water wells across the world and provide the best drinking water without disrupting the natural circulation of water.

What does a second chance look like?

A small life found in the rain. Alone, vulnerable, with no defense against what the world had already thrown at it. But then, hands reached down. Not to take, but to save.

Rescue is sometimes as simple as noticing suffering and deciding it doesn't have to continue. Seeing vulnerability and choosing to meet it with care instead of indifference.

The transformation doesn't happen instantly. It takes warmth, patience, gentle hands, and time. It takes proving over and over that safety is real. That this new world won't hurt the way the old one did.

When animals are given that chance, something shifts. Eyes that once held fear start to hold trust. Bodies that braced for pain learn to relax. The world slowly becomes less threatening and more like home.

This is what compassion looks like in action. Not just feeling bad about suffering, but doing something about it. Creating space for healing. Rebuilding what was broken.

Every rescued life is a reminder that one person's choice to care can rewrite an entire story. That vulnerability doesn't have to mean the end. That with the right hands, even the smallest, most fragile life can become strong again.

The rain doesn't last forever. And neither does the suffering, when someone decides to step in.
