You don’t need a famous company on your resume to get global work. You need evidence.
In today’s remote job market, hiring managers care more about what you can do than who you’ve worked for. For Latin American professionals aiming to land international roles, this is a massive opportunity.
Instead of stressing about big names or traditional experience, focus on creating proof of your skills. Whether it’s a design mockup, a Notion dashboard, or a simple automation workflow, if you built it, it counts.
Real work speaks louder than a resume.
If a recruiter doesn’t know your last employer, they’ll look for something they do understand. The quality of your work. A personal project, even unpaid, gives them something they can see, use, and remember.
Some examples:
- Built a budget tracker in Google Sheets? That shows financial skill.
- Created content for your cousin’s business? That’s marketing experience.
- Organized your freelance work in Trello? That’s operations.
If it solves a real problem, it proves you’re ready.
How to start when you don’t have time or confidence.
You don’t need to launch a full product. Start small.
- Pick one tool you know (Excel, Canva, ChatGPT).
- Think of a simple challenge.
- Create a solution.
- Publish it. On LinkedIn, GitHub, Notion, or even a Google Drive folder.
One project is a start. Three projects build a pattern. A pattern builds trust.
You’re not just showing what you’ve done, you’re showing what you can do next.
In 2026, global employers are looking for doers. Not perfect resumes. Not long titles. Just real humans with real skill.
Give them something to see.
