Supplemental Income Job Helps Single Mom

Today we hear from a single mom who used FlexJobs to find a supplemental income job working from home with a flexible schedule.

Finding Time for a Second Job

So many parents today are single parents trying to provide for themselves and their children, and it is very hard in today’s society to live off only one income. Stacey, from Martinsville, West Virginia, already worked full-time but really wanted a supplemental income job. Evenings and weekends were not an option because of the lack of child care during that time, and after being a mom and working full-time, having a second job away from her children was not something she wanted.

She realized she needed to find a flexible second job. She found FlexJobs and now we congratulate Stacey for her new position as a Transcript Editor with FlexJobs Featured Employer 3Play Media!

Vetting FlexJobs Before Signing Up

Stacey first learned about FlexJobs while she was doing a Google search for part-time work-from-home jobs. She came across an article on ABC News titled “Top 10 Best (and Real) Work-at-Home Jobs.” She said, “I read Sara Sutton’s comments about the growing telecommuting market and figured that if FlexJobs was a reputable source for ABC, that there might just be something to it…so I went and checked out the site!”

She did a bit more research to find that FlexJobs was recognized by many media outlets and noticed that the site featured many large Fortune 500 companies and included jobs that she had never seen on any other job search engine.

“I read reviews, covered all my bases, and even watched the FlexJobs video explaining how the site works and it just seemed way too easy,” Stacey said. “Once I signed up and got started, I could hardly believe how many flexible jobs were out there that could actually work for me! I only used about two weeks of my month membership before I had two job offers! FlexJobs is so worth it!”

Benefits of a Home-Based Supplemental Income Job

Thanks to FlexJobs, Stacey is now able to make a supplemental income on nights and weekends but does not have to sacrifice being away from her children even more. “Some days, I am exhausted after a day at my full-time job, but now I am able to skip an evening of my part-time work if I want, or wait to work after I take a power nap! I make my own hours for my part-time job and that is simply priceless!”
