My Palfish Story (must watch)

[@zhulia]

I really love hearing you talk and be genuine. You radiate positive energy and are just the mentor I need. Thanks so much Jill! Not only have you let PF change your life, you're investing in helping it change others' as well. Much love and gratitude.

[@JillianShanahan]

zhulia thanks! I love to share what helps!

[@TheRichardArmstrong]

Jillian!!!! Your story is very inspiring. I am like you. I have worked manual jobs all my life. Hard labor . 10- 12 hours a day 6 days a week. In my spare time I had taught art for free. It was my passion. I found years ago it was amazing to see kids learn something I had helped with. Last year I met the love of my life in the Philippines. I tried to move there. I failed at finding work there. At that point I had no choice but return to my old job. Missing my fiance and her daughter everyday is something unbearable. I found Palfish and I studied for my Tesol/Tefl every night just so that I could apply. Im not expecting to be rich on Palfish. All I want to do is be with my family in Philippines and this my chance. Youve inspired me so much more. Thanks soooo much. I inspired my fiance so much she tries her hardest to make our KZbin channel succeed to help out anyway possible. Money means nothing to us. What it does mean is I can live with my family. I cry like you in my videos on youtube when I talk about them. Youre amazing!!!!

[@thabiledlamini311]

Your success story made me cry. You have come a long way. God is Good All The Time.

[@kaylacollins6772]

My first full month was last month which wasn't a full month but I think I made like 575 bucks or something. This month is a little extra but I clear 1000 bucks in the morning and I am super excited and I dont get up too early either. Daylights savings time is killing me because I lose an hour a day and 5 hours a week so only working 10 hours a week but I do love it!

[@jodiej18]

You deserve all the good things that have come to you. What an inspirational story! Congratulations!

[@JillianShanahan]

Abigail X thank you!

[@kimengelbrecht1410]

I am crying with you. I am from South Africa and I have also decided to teach through PalFish. You have just motivated me to proceed and apply to PalFish. Thank you so much for telling your story. Good luck with your house. Please share I would love to see more youtube video's from you.

Anaida’s World thank you! As soon as the hiring freeze is over :) I’ll update on here when I know more

[@anaidasworld2799]

Jillian Shanahan: Once Upon A Time Fitness Thank you, Jillian :) I did apply last night and I submitted my video interview today.

[@JillianShanahan]

Anaida’s World ok. I would be very surprised if you were hired, they aren’t hiring yet, or at least they haven’t told us if they are.

[@anaidasworld2799]

Jillian Shanahan: Once Upon A Time Fitness even if they’re not yet... then I will be checking on it 😊 I’ve been with VIPKid for over a year now and would like to add this to my schedule too. I would appreciate all the updates you’ll have for us future teachers :)

[@anaidasworld2799]

Jillian Shanahan: Once Upon A Time Fitness Okay... they got back to me saying that I need TESOL or TEFL certifications before even getting/doing an interview with them. So it’s not as easy as it was a year ago or maybe before this Corona Virus :((( I am very sad, ‘cause I asked them if I can reapply after I’ll get my TESOL or TEFL and they told me they don’t do “reapply later”

[@sharismith1415]

[@JillianShanahan]

Thank you! Yes- I am soooooo thankful that I found online teaching!

[@BeverlyP217]

I would love to be in your mentor group! I signed up a day ago with a co-worker link and completed my interview this morning. I wish I had viewed this like a week ago! I signed up with GOGO Kid 3 months ago and have only had 10 bookings. They just changed the incentive policy and reading the teacher comments on the platform is heartbreaking as many "top performers" are now struggling to reach high on the new incentive scale. Smh. I referred someone to them but she found palfish and started getting more bookings in a shorter amount of time so I decided to switch. So glad I did! Congratulations! Your story is so uplifting!

[@JillianShanahan]

Tech Teacher I’m not trying to take referrals away from people/ I’m glad you used your friend! Join my fb group PalFish mentor group with Jillian. I won’t be your mentor- my group is closed at the moment. All of the mentors are wonderful. Your mentor will probably be Ro.

[@glamourgirl1962]

This is amazing Jill! Congratulations big time!!

[@reginapugh]

Thank you so much for sharing this story. I am a SAHM and have been for a while. I desperately need something to help us financially. I have three children one being a three-year-old that I cannot afford to put in daycare. If I go back to work my income would be literally paying for childcare, so it's senseless. From someone on the outside looking in one would say "just get a job" but they don't understand that with the expense of childcare it doesn't level out. I will definitely use your link to apply. Thanks for your transparency.

[@JillianShanahan]

ginniebean84 you’re welcome and I look forward to seeing you join the PalFish team! Best of luck! I’ll reach out to you when I see your name pop up!

Thank you so much for inspiring us, I feel the same way and thinking to quit my job as it is toxic. I am searching for online teaching jobs, and I am in the process of my application with VIP Kid, until I saw posts about Palfish. Is it way better? I understand the mix reviews, is it required to have TEFL certificate? Sorry still a newbie, I am not sure where to apply.

[@JillianShanahan]

IR Lox apply at VIPKID. Right now, there’s a hiring freeze and VIPKID is a great company as well. Let me know if you don’t have a hiring coach and I can connect you with someone I trust to help you!
