A Few Work-From-Home Job Possibilities
By Rosemary O’Brien
Thanks to Army Wife Talk Radio
www.ArmyWifeTalkRadio.com for their excellent broadcast about the
rewards and drawbacks of working at home. I was listening and it led me to
an article by Tory Johnson, the workplace contributor for Good Morning
America. Her piece lists several excellent work at home job ideas, many of
which would fit perfectly into the military spouse’s lifestyle. Below are
just a few of the great ideas I came across.
I thought the Online Juror job sounded interesting. Attorneys pay people
to help decide if a case has any trial value. In other words, what could the
jury possibly decide? Online jurors earn $20 on up for their time, which
could be 20 minutes or 1 hour. The participant knows how much time the job
will take and how much it pays before they accept each job.
Virtual Assistant is an up-and-coming position in the internet community.
Since many of us now telecommute or are full-time freelancers, a virtual
assistant is a valuable asset to our virtual community. This job entails
everything an on-site assistant would do from taking phone calls, scheduling
meetings and word processing. Unfortunately for my desk, they have not
figured out how to file remotely.
If you are a techie, why not try a job as a Customer Service Technician
for people with computer problems? You can set up as an independent
contractor, set your own hours, and help solve computer problems via
telephone.
As a Freelance Writer, I personally appreciate the fact that I am readily
available when my child is out sick from school, and I don’t have to scare
up a babysitter at the last minute or call in sick myself. I can even
continue working much of the time! I am also able to move things around when
Hubby has a sudden change of schedule thanks to Uncle Sam.
