How to Navigate the Remote and Flexible Job Market: Trends in 2024
2024-06-27 14:00 - 14:45
A choice of work environment and location is now a key factor for many job seekers when searching for a better work-life balance and evaluating new career opportunities. A recent FlexJobs survey found that 65% of respondents reported a desire to work remotely full-time, while 32% want a hybrid work environment. That’s an incredible 97% of workers who desire some form of remote work!
Ideally, people can balance their career and their personal life in a way that works best for their needs, and having a more flexible job typically helps with this. Are you interested in remote jobs and flexible work options, like being able to work from home, have a flexible schedule, find a professional-level part-time job, or work on freelance/contract projects? Can you continue to work remotely if you already are? Can your employer make you come into the office? This webinar will discuss the flexible job market, trends in 2024 to pay attention to, and how to position yourself for a remote or flexible job.

If any of this sounds familiar, be sure to join our Career Expert Team to learn everything you need to know to enhance your resume and cover letter with your key transferable skills!

Cover Letter Best Practices
2024-07-03 11:00 - 11:45
Are cover letters really still needed? Yes! And this webinar will show you how to write effective cover letters without spending too much time on them.
Here are some stats that prove cover letters are still necessary: A ResumeLab survey of 200 hiring managers found that 83% of the time, a great cover letter was enough to sway them to extend a job interview to a candidate with a less-than-perfect resume.
A majority of hiring managers said cover letters were crucial to their hiring decisions, and 77% give preference to candidates who submit one, even if they’re deemed optional on the application form. A similar percentage share always expects the document, even if they’re not required in order to apply.
A study by ResumeGo found that applications with cover letters carefully tailored to individual job descriptions yielded over 50% more interviews than job applications submitted without a letter.
In this webinar, a FlexJobs Career Expert will discuss how to write great cover letters for your remote job applications.
