Dear Agung,
While people use FlexJobs to look for jobs with a variety of work flexibility options -- freelance, part-time, flexible and alternative schedule jobs -- the majority of you have at least some interest in telecommuting jobs. And one of the most common questions we get when it comes to telecommuting jobs is, "Why do some telecommuting jobs require a location?"
The reason is that telecommuting jobs are not necessarily the same as "work from anywhere" jobs. Although "work from anywhere" types of jobs are out there, the reality is that the overwhelming majority of telecommuting jobs our researchers find do have a geographic requirement, so that the telecommuting job is open to candidates in/near a specific country, region, state, or city. This can be for many reasons, such as the job allows telecommuting only part-time, the employer's comfort level of having remote workers, issues tied to state tax requirements, and more.
Telecommuting is generally not an "all or nothing" proposition. For example, only 2.8 million people "work from home" full-time, but there are another 15-20 million who telecommute part-time, according to the Telework Research Network. What this means is that telecommuting jobs which have a location required telecommuting are far more abundant right now. But the telecommuting job market continues to evolve and is remote work is projected to skyrocket in the next 5-10 years (yeah!). In fact, it's been estimated that 50 million current jobs in the United States are compatible with telecommuting -- that would represent 40% of US workers! So, we encourage you to keep an open mind about how location plays into a telecommuting job search, and it can really work in your favor!

Do Telecommuting Jobs Really Pay Less?
Here is another one of the most commonly asked questions about telecommuting: "Do telecommuting jobs really pay less?" If you're a telecommuter, or thinking of becoming one, earning a competitive salary is likely as important to you as it is to a "traditional" worker. Even though working from home saves money (on commuting, day care, clothing, and eating lunch out), you're still doing the same work as someone in an office. So here's the issue: do employers take advantage of workers who want to work from home by offering them less pay to perform the same tasks?

8 Reasons Why You Didn't Get the Job
Job hunting can feel like an emotional roller coaster, especially when you've been turned down for a job that seemed like a perfect fit. While it can be easy (and comforting) to convince yourself that the radio silence is simply a matter of a lost phone number, more than likely there's another reason you didn't get the job. True, there are plenty of reasons completely out of your control that you may not have gotten the gig; but the hard truth is that more often than most people would like to admit, the problem is more personal. As difficult as it is to face, recognizing where you could have done better can help you avoid the same rejection in the future.
