Want to join the gig economy? FlexJobs can save you a lot of time and heartbreak

If youre like many Americans, youve probably learned a little something about yourself during our new quarantine lifestyle. One takeaway from our decidedly unusual times probably wont come as a huge shock...but it turns out that despite all the problems and hassles of our new normal, thousands of people really enjoy the freedom of working from home.

Thats fine if youre got an employer whos good with it, but if youre unemployed or looking for a career change at the moment, you might find working from home still isnt simple. For the most part, finding great remote flexible jobs can be tough and takes a lot of time that you should be working.

To alleviate that headache, FlexJobs is an employment service that works to boil down all the best freelance and remote job opportunities out there down to the ones that work best for you.

Founded in 2007, FlexJobs has access to more than 30,000 remote, freelance, part-time, and flexible jobs in over 50 career categories, each hand-screened and vetted by FlexJobs trained researchers. When a job is added to the site, its also accompanied by staff-written job summaries, company descriptions, and other useful information about the business itself.
