FlexJobs Identifies 15 Flexible Jobs That Allow Job Seekers to Create Their Own Schedule
BOULDER, Colo. (PRWEB) November 28, 2017 -- The demand for work flexibility is growing among job seekers--in fact, the number of people quitting a job because of flexibility issues nearly doubled from 17 to 32 percent in the last three years. Having the flexibility to set one’s own work hours is a coveted work option for many job seekers. In fact, according to FlexJobs’ survey of over 5,000 workers, a flexible schedule is the second most preferred types of flexible work arrangements, behind full-time telecommuting. To illustrate the variety of jobs and industries that offer workers the option to set their own schedules, FlexJobs has identified 15 jobs where the job schedule is not predetermined by the employer.
“The ideal flexible schedule is one where workers can independently set their own hours to accommodate their individual needs, such as so that they can work when they’re personally most productive or to accommodate personal health issues, caregiving responsibilities, volunteering, or other commitments,” said Sara Sutton Fell, Founder and CEO of FlexJobs. “The benefit is that schedule flexibility can really help alleviate the frequent clashes between professional and personal responsibilities that many people experience in ways that hurt both their work and their lives. People are sometimes surprised to learn there are jobs which allow them to choose exactly when to work--but it’s true, they definitely do exist,” Sutton Fell concluded.
Each of the 15 jobs on this list fits the following criteria:
-The job offers a completely flexible schedule
-The job listing specifically states the schedule can be determined by the individual worker, rather than pre-set by the company
-The job was actively hiring as of November 27, 2017
