    | |  | |  | | Dear Agung, | | | | This past week was a challenging one for me personally because I live in Boulder, Colorado, where a where a "100 Year Flood" just hit. However, as with any tough experience, there are silver linings. Two of mine were (1) how thankful I am that FlexJobs is a virtual company and (2) I realized that virtual really isn't always so virtual. |  | | You see, the FlexJobs team works from home offices around the country, and while we have a bunch of Coloradans, I'm the only one in Boulder. And last Wednesday night I was awoken in the middle of the night by torrential rain and a thundering roar of a sudden, crushing river behind our house. It was honestly pretty terrifying. | | | | At 4am, firemen and emergency workers were going door-to-door in my neighborhood to make sure anyone who needed help could get it. As it happens, the husband of one of my FlexJobs colleagues is a fireman from about an hour away, and I found out the next day that HE was one those on my road that night knocking on doors, heroically braving the torrential downpours, flooding, mud slides, and debris! I couldn't believe the coincidence. So even with a virtual company, during an intense time of need, a connection with a colleague was present. Crazy, and cool. | | | | Thankfully, when the storms were finished, my house and family were safe, but we were on "lockdown" and unable to leave our home for 4 days. During that time, we had very limited cell/internet, and I was only able to communicate with the FlexJobs team minimally. | | | | I realized what a big benefit to my company that we ALL weren't impacted by this natural disaster. I was the only one, and my "absence" didn't slow down our overall productivity at all. In fact, when I came back to work on Monday, my team had all of these amazing developments and accomplishments to share with me, all while I'd been out of touch! I can definitely say it made my day feel much more optimistic, and normal, than when it had started. And from a business perspective, it showed yet another benefit of telecommuting. | | | Beyond this, please read on for more job search tips and great job leads, and thank you so much for considering us a trusted resource in your job search for telecommuting, freelance, part-time, and other flexible jobs. We hope you have a great rest of the week. Many cheers,
Sara, and the FlexJobs Team | | | | |  |  |  |  | | | | | | |  | | 5 Top Work from Home Jobs | | | | Ever long to be one of those lucky work-from-home people who get to sleep in a little later, commute down the hall into their home office, and go to work in their bunny slippers?
