Before moving to Module 2:
Write down 3–5 remote-ready skills you already have. These don’t need to be tech skills — communication, organisation, self-direction and writing all count. Keep this list — you’ll use it in Module 2 when building your profile.
This takes 10 minutes. It’s the foundation everything else is built on.
