Dear Agung,
I know that the job search is not easy... even with FlexJobs, although you don't have to waste tons of time sorting through scams, ads, and too-good-to-be-true business opportunities, it still takes time. BUT... it can all be so worth it!! Here's how I know why - I hear from our members who share their success stories every single day! To show you what I mean, I want to share three of the highlighted success stories from our What's Happening This Week at FlexJobs page:
"I've been on maternity leave for the past year, looking for a position with flexibility as I am not ready to fully re-enter the workforce. I wanted something where I could work from home, doing an intellectually stimulating job that takes advantage of my doctoral training. I found a freelance telecommuting job through FlexJobs and it's perfect for my current situation!" - Suepattra S. from Austin, Texas - found a job as a Medical Editor
"I have told all my friends who are looking for a career change about you! I spent several months applying to many different jobs through both FlexJobs and traditional company websites. One day, I received a call from a company through FlexJobs, and I start my new job next Monday. Thank you FlexJobs!" - Mary Ellen M. (location withheld) - found a job as a Telehealth Nurse Educator
"I live in a rural area. The market for my skill set is SO saturated and the pay rates are well below the state average. I joined FlexJobs to find remote work since moving is not an option. Within a few months, JUST as my unemployment was running out, I landed a job. The pay is in line with industry standards (far above what I would make locally "in house"), I have vacation time, and flexible hours. It really is a dream come true." - Cherie A. from Brockway, Pennsylvania - found a job as a SEO Administrator
So have hope! Do your due diligence in your job search, and take the time find the jobs that you're really interested in and qualified for, write a compelling and individual cover letter, customize your resume if necessary, and go through any other parts of the application process the employer wants.

5 Lies About Telecommuting and the Truth
Even though working from home is a more common business practice, the pervasive myths and lies about telecommuting still persist. Telecommuters don't really work when they're at home. Working from home is code for "taking a mental health day." Only people with careers in IT can find work-from-home jobs. If you've had reservations about working from home for any of these reasons, let's set the record straight.
