please I need answers to this question,
Does it mean if you're not in the United States you can't get a remote job from the United States? Can't I get a remote job from the United States while I'm outside of the United States?
I'm asking because After traveling overseas for my Bachelor's degree, I've been here for almost 3 months applying for remote job yet I have not been gainfully employed

That’s generally correct. If you’re not in the U.S., it’s unlikely that a U.S. corporation will hire you for a U.S. based role. But it depends on what you do.

It's a Virtual Assistant Role & as a Virtual Assistant is mostly virtual and remote, I have been working as a virtual Assistant since 2016, so I know that. very soon, I mean in no distant time, I will post my letter of employment here, it's a promise.

Unfortunately, it is extremely unlikely that you would be able to find US-based remote work if you are outside of the country. We have a pretty significant job shortage here, so companies have a long list of local candidates to pick from.

Some U.S. companies have locations in other countries (global or transnational) so it’s more likely they are working for a U.S. company’s non-U.S. location remotely. Like Counsel 1 said earlier, there are more job seekers than jobs so employees will select someone in the U.S. instead of remotely. Companies don’t want to deal with taxes and computer security issues along with reporting requirements (visa issues) for non-U.S. employees.

Agree with this comment. Companies don’t want to deal with tax and labor law issues in general especially if they can hire someone in U.S. easily

I don’t recommend you post your letter of employment on this site.

A lot of US companies simply have a problem employing people outside the US because of tax laws and regulations, and, to a lesser extent, because of security concerns. Those considerations can even extend to jobs within the US. Sometimes you'll see companies offering remote jobs, but the workers have to reside in particular states or regions. That's because the companies have a presence in those places and comply with the local tax laws. I assume most foreign nationals who work for US companies are employed by third party entities.

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.
