Finding Work at Home Opportunities

This is the tricky part. I cannot vouch for any work at home opportunities that are advertised on the web or in newspapers. My advice with those sorts of things would be to thoroughly do your homework and check out any potential opportunity carefully.

Today, there are many major companies that allow employees to work from home. Some may need someone with your expertise in your area, when they have no office in your area. That is how I found the job with the insurance company. They had an ad in the paper, and I was fortunate to know about the job opening before it was advertised. I don't even think that they mentioned in the ad that it was a work from home position.

If you are skilled at what you do and believe that working from home is a possibility I would suggest talking to your employer. Perhaps they would allow you to work from home one or two days a week on a trial basis. If it works out you could negotiate full time telecommuting. It all depends on your employer - as much as it depends on you, your skills, independence and self discipline.

You also can sign up for job alerts on Yahoo Hot Jobs and Monster. Over the past few years I have seen several job advertised by real employers that are work from home positions. Get creative, with new technologies anything is possible these days.
