HSN I believe and maybe QVC (not sure) have work from home jobs. You have to check the job boards to see the ones for HSN.

I know perricone and other companies have work from home consultants. How great is that? Some of the Perricone reps have been there for years. I am sure they get return clients. They train you , and you have to have certain qualifications in the home to qualify.

If you have teaching credentials, there is on-line instruction offered to most grade levels these days.

I know someone who works from home doing bookings/customer service for a large cruise company. All of her training and testing was 100% from home as well.

I took early retirement from the publishing world and do freelance writing when I feel like accepting an assignment. I am enjoying free time so much that I want to do very little these days, I have to admit!

That sounds like it might be a fun job!

I've worked at home with the last two insurance companies that I worked for. They both started off in the office, then it was offered to only a few. I'm still doing it.

I just saw a work at home offered on Indeed dot com for scheduling for a hospital. It had 90 days training on site, also had to be flexible to go to some other sites as needed.

Sykes Work at Home has a good reputation. I've been with them since March.

Some of the insurance companies, like United Health care, have people who call patients to see how they are after a hospitalization or "just because". I had a friend who did that for years. I also know a few people who work from home, but drive to patients houses to check on them. They make their own appointments so are home or out visiting as they want / need

My neighbor works for Amazon from home. She's a customer service rep.

She says all day long people call her up and yell at her about sloooow shipping, lost packages, late packages, ripped open packages, wrong colors, wrong sizes/poor fit, wrong billing, blah blah blah complaint complaint complaint.

Some days I'll be sitting outside with my phone, perusing the QVC forums. She'll ask, "What are they complaining about on QVC today?"

I say "sloooow shipping, lost packages, late packages, ripped open packages, wrong colors, wrong sizes/poor fit, wrong billing, blah blah blah, complaint complaint complaint.

Funny how many also say it's NOT like that and they never have a problem when they shop with Amazon.

She thinks that's hilarious!!!

check out flex jobs.com. It's a legit site. I found out about it when I was unemployed from the recruiter! All of the jobs have been verified. You do have to subscribe, but try it for a month, very cheap. The subscription gets you access to all of the nationwide to local jobs in your area. Some are permanent others like contract work.

'Hope this helps!!

Haven't felt the need or urge to work outside the home since retirement...yet, anyway. Who knows what the future will hold? I have done a little freelance writing though. My most recent was another piece in a Chicken Soup for the Soul book. It doesn't pay much ($200 per story, if accepted) and 10 free copies of the book. Just a little extra pin money...and keeps my brain active!
