A friend knew I was looking for remote work and suggested that I check out Flexjobs, the new go-to site for “flexible, hybrid, or work-from-home job searching.”

Initially, I was not a fan of this idea at all. Why would I want to add another cost to my financial dilemma? I’m looking to get paid not pay out.

But…. I realized there was an advantage to it being a paid subscription. Because it added urgency and an importance to the job search.

I felt overwhelmed when I first signed up. There was so much to explore. I committed myself to looking for one job a day. This way I paid attention to the detail, showing off how I met each criterion in my cover letter. Then I would spend time becoming familiar with the site and uncovering new options.

The website offers: –

· Flexible and remote work opportunities, regularly advertised in your field of expertise.

· A safe space to store cover letters and resumes.

· Access to written articles on all subjects related to job search.

· Quizzes specific to your industry standards. Highlighting skill sets able to meet business competencies.

· Support when required.

· Alerts – Be one the first to apply for new opportunities landing on the site.

· Feel comfortable knowing all opportunities are real.

· Big brand opportunities.

Flexjobs has been around since 2007. Becoming the job board where the most reputable employers go searching for reliable employees. Even big brand names are vetted before employment opportunities are put on offer.

The subscription fee is the gatekeeper for those serious about flexible and remote work. Separating yourself from those websites offering job listings, resumes, etc to the masses.

When I was roaming around the internet, the Flexjobs link kept popping up more and more. My friend wasn’t the only one who had suggested it to me. The links were another indicator Flexjobs is becoming a reliable source for employers and future workers.

My advice would be to pay for three months subscription and see where it leads. One is always hoping for a job well within this timeframe. Sometimes we take a job because the bills are piling up. If this is the case, continue to look for work, shooting for the stars in search of better pay or conditions. There are also other subscription options available.

The latest opportunities hit this site. Your chances of landing flexible and remote work will only increase when you join Flexjobs. Good luck on your journey.
