3 Honest Reasons Why You Should Use FlexJobs To Find A Work From Anywhere Job
By the time I landed my first 100% remote job in 2015 on FlexJobs, they had already stolen my heart.

 

To start, here’s a little about the them- FlexJobs is an online job listing site that you have to pay to use. And in my opinion, it’s completely worth the small fee and one of the smallest but most powerful investments I made when I quit my job to find a job that lets me work from anywhere. FlexJobs is my favorite job search site, and I’m super grateful for all that their staff does! Here’s 3 reasons why you should use FlexJobs too, and why I love and recommend them to all my readers:

 

 

1. Each job is pre-screened
Because FlexJobs is a premium flexible job listing service, there’s a full-time staff that does the hard work of researching the jobs for us first, before they post them. These are real people who know we are looking for legitimate jobs, not scams or underpaid work we’re overqualified for. It’s a truly  innovative job board and every single posting has been hand-screened. This is the biggest reason why I use FlexJobs.

 

 

2. There are no ads
Go to another tab and open one of  the the free-to-browse online job listing sites right now. Chances are, it doesn’t look anything near as pretty as FlexJobs. Since FlexJobs charges for membership, there’s a clean interface without the distraction of any ads. Most free job boards are littered with ads that are linked to unscreened job postings that can be misleading. For some things, I’m just willing to pay to have a service without ads (especially something as important as finding my next work from anywhere job).

 

 

3. They have career level job postings (and they aren’t just tech and coding jobs!)
 With over 50 different job categories, FlexJobs is absolutely perfect for tons of different people at varied stages of their career. We know a lot of work from home jobs are part-time or contractor based. I’ve had pitch-heavy gigs where the work wasn’t consistent, sometimes, this is part of being a freelancer. But sometimes, people want a position with an employer, that offers a consistent workload, paycheck and benefits (and even team vacations to meet up!)  Much like my post 67 Companies That Let You Work From Anywhere, FlexJobs offers tons of professional positions with 100% remote companies. I’m consistently impressed with the massive volume of job listings FlexJobs keeps on their site. Their people work hard on the site (and they pride themselves on being a 100% remote workforce, as well!) Some of the notable companies FlexJobs offers real positions with include Uber, Aetna, Hilton, Amazon, First Data, American Express, Convergys, Kaplan, Humana, ADP, and Apple, among others.

 

 

When I signed up, I paid $14.99 for a month, and I am telling you- it was absolutely the right decision. I found an entry-level, full-time writing position in the first couple of weeks as a member. So, if you’re looking for a new job, and think you maybe be ready to become a digital nomad and work from anywhere, give FlexJobs a try. Instead of digging through 10 different remote work websites who usually use automated systems to pull remote jobs, I prefer going directly to FlexJobs and letting them do the searching and pre-screening for me. Along with the backing of big-name companies like NCB, CNN, and USA Today, I whole-heartedly recommend trying out FlexJobs in your work from anywhere and flexible job search.

 

 

Visit FlexJobs.com to learn more and to sign up. If you signup through this link, I get a commission, and I appreciate that so much! I only recommend things I love (I contacted FlexJobs myself to become an affiliate, because I love them so much!)
Ready to get serious about your work from anywhere job search? I whole-heartedly recommend Flexjobs, the site where I found my first freelance writing gig. There are zero scams on their site and they have their own 100% remote team, too!
