FIND US ON THE WEB

Dear Agung,
Sometimes when you're in the midst of looking for a new or better job, it's easy to lose focus on the basics of being a good applicant. Most of us have done it at some point... there's just so much time and energy that goes into finding and applying to jobs, that it's tempting to cut corners a little on the repetitive tasks like customizing our cover letter or resume.
Unfortunately, trust me when I say that hiring managers can see the shortcuts, too... which is NOT good. This is your first chance to make a good impression, and if you don't put a 100% (or 110%!) effort into your job application, why would they ever believe you'd put 100% into being an employee for their company?
We've got some great blog posts below to help refresh, inspire, and fine tune your job search. And for more ideas, I highly encourage you to visit our amazing Blog & Community area, where we have so many excellent expert articles and tips on Cover Letters, Resumes, and other job search topics!
Thank you for trusting us to help in your job search to find great telecommuting, freelance, part-time and flexible schedule opportunities! If there's anything to make your experience better, please let us know. Many cheers,

Sara, and the FlexJobs Team

5 Tips for an Out-of-the-Box Job Search
If your daily grind is getting stale and you are looking to revitalize your working arrangements, there are more employment options available than the typical 9-5. Job searching out-of-the-box has become the "fashionable" method in the world of job seeking, as competition has increased and businesses are operating differently than they did prior to the recession. There are also a lot of changes taking place as more Baby Boomers retire and Millennials enter the workforce, creating (and demanding) a new relationship with work-life balance.

Should You Put Your Photo on a Resume?
In today's tough job market, you need anything to make your resume stand out from the rest. Some cutting-edge job seekers are actually adding their photo to their resumes in an attempt to make their applications more memorable.
