This list of resources is a service to you. Please do your own background checks on them. Use these services at your own risk. Resource List Nice Work If You Can Get It: Web Sites for At-Home Jobs , Sue Shellenbarger (WSJ Online/CareerJournal) A very good article from the Work & Family columnist for CareerJournal. Since she (like me) receives many requests from readers for good work-at-home options, she took the time and enlisted some help in finding "a few honest Web sites that actually help people find real, paying home-based work". Please read the entire article, not just the list of links. She points out that the sites she chose have a track record (meaning they are not new) and they had users she could actually interview to get feedback. She also makes the following point early in the article: "A word of caution: Although at-home opportunities are increasing, most are only for part-time, low-paid work without benefits; some people who use these Web sites make as little as $5,000 a year. Many work very hard at tasks most people would find difficult, such as telemarketing. Competition for at-home work is keen; prepare to wait months to get a client, project or assignment." I looked at some of the sources she listed, and many have minimum requirements for phone, office and computer setups for persons they are willing to hire. If you still want to consider this option for yourself, I cannot imagine a better list of sources for you to use to start your search. FlexJobs ...telecommuting and work-at-home opportunities, but not just any old listing from anyone with an ability to post an ad. The FlexJobs team actually reviews and researches each posting to be sure it is a legitimate opportunity. The only downside I'm seeing is the fee for you to join , but if you are serious about finding positions (temp, part-time, or full time) that allow you to work here for those guys there, then the fee is extremely reasonable to see only quality, REAL listings. You can look at the list of posted jobs, but you cannot see the full posting until you register. FlexJobs was started by Sarah Sutton Fell, and the phone number is posted under "About FlexJobs: Overview". Home-Based Working Moms ..."The association that helps bring working moms closer to their children. "Home-Based Working Moms provides its members with support, networking, information, resource guides, a monthly (print) newsletter, email discussion list, membership directory, free listing on the Member's Home Business Showcase, free ads in the newsletter, and discounts on various products and services." Not everything here requires you to be a member. They list home business and work-at-home opportunities, some of which require you to pay fees but many which don't. The Telework Advisory Group of WorldatWork ...a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the economic, social and environmental benefits of teleworking. Formerly the Telecommuting Advisory Council, the group offers information on telecommuting, resources to aid employers and employees.
