There are hundreds of thousands of home based job opportunities out there. There are just as many scam opportunities as there are legitimate work at home jobs, though, as we all know. There are plenty of industries, even in the slow economy, that are still hiring and intend on growing and expanding through the end of the year. These industries all cater to various types of home workers and those looking to eliminate their daily commute. Here are some companies to check out:
Elance and oDesk
Elance and oDesk are third party recruiting sites that allow you to fill out a profile, take skills tests, and apply for thousands of jobs posted by various companies. Each one works like a temporary employment agency in that they add a fee to your pay rate, allowing for their services to be afforded by the company. You can search many different areas of work and jobs, and apply for the ones that suit you best. My favorite part about these two sites is that you can do nothing, and people can find you. As long as you create a profile that’s public, these sites allow companies to look through the available workers to find the ones they like, and offer them an interview or a position.
Inbound Customer Service
Companies like Alpine Access, Working Solutions, LiveOps, and Arise are all looking for more than 5,000 new customer service agents to take inbound calls from a home based call center. These agents earn between $8 and $15 per hour, and some get incentives and bonuses, as well. All you do is answer calls from home, help customers as needed, and keep a good repertoire with the company.
Legitimate work at home jobs are much more plentiful than many people realize. Even with a slow economy, you can still find work as long as you know where to look. For today, these are just two suggestions for you to check out.
Good luck, and have fun finding the legitimate work at home jobs out there for you!
