– Remote jobs (work from home either some or all of the time)
– Flexible schedule jobs (some control over your daily schedule)
– Part-time jobs (career-level, professional jobs that offer part-time hours)
– Freelance jobs (project-based and consulting-type jobs where you are self-employed and work with one or more clients at a time)
- Refine flexible work application materials: FlexJobs recommends key tactics for writing resumes and cover letters when applying for flexible jobs. Resources include:
– FlexJobs’ downloadable guide, “How to Find a Job and Start Working from Home” with specific tips and examples for resumes, cover letters, interviewing, and more.
– The resume and cover letter sections of the FlexJobs blog, with hundreds of articles offering tips and tricks for every type of flexible job application.
