We enjoy featuring FlexJobs success stories to highlight how people not just in the U.S., but internationally, have found work through FlexJobs. The quotes below feature stories of people in the UK, as well as Ireland, who became FlexJobs members and found positions among the many work-from-anywhere jobs in our database.

Here are five job search success stories from the UK and Ireland who found work through FlexJobs:

Bernard O., Edinburgh, United Kingdom; Hired at American Express as a Remote Customer Service Representative

“I found a really great job with American Express through FlexJobs. It was pretty much the first job I applied for, and I’m really excited. It sounds like a great role. Not only that, but FlexJobs helped me find some freelance writing opportunities.”

Luke W., Ireland; Hired at Hyperbiotics as a Remote Brand Ambassador

“Awesome stuff and amazing experience—thank you, FlexJobs. The job came into my inbox on Wednesday morning and I had applied Wednesday afternoon. I had an informational interview on Thursday morning, phone interview Thursday night, and was offered the position. Could not have been better!”

Marie O., Termonfeckin, Ireland; Hired at Scribendi as a Remote Editor

“I have recommended FlexJobs to several of my friends. I found several opportunities to pursue on this website, and I’ve been working steadily. I will definitely come back if and when the time comes!”

Ivan H., London, United Kingdom; Hired at Canonical as a Remote Freelance Support Engineer

“FlexJobs is a great idea and a really helpful service. I will definitely renew my subscription in the future.”

Shani M., Ireland; Hired at Axelerant as a Remote Project Manager

“As a mother of four this has changed my life. Axelerant allows me to manage my own hours. I eat lunch every day with my kids when they come home from school and daycare in the early afternoon. I work with people all over the world. To say my life is easier wouldn’t be true. Juggling a household, four kids, and a full-time job is a challenge, but I wouldn’t have been able to do this with a 9-to-6 office job. Thanks, FlexJobs!”
