Some people who want to work from home do not want to look by profession but instead by company. This is a completely valid way to look for work online. In fact I would almost always steer people towards this way of job searching simply because you will end up being happier working somewhere that you want versus somewhere that has a job you want. So what are some work from home companies that are good to work for? Well I will try to lay out a few in this article that will give you a good head start in your job search. There are a lot more companies that offer telecommute jobs to their employees or potential employees than I have laid out here. I just wanted to offer a few options to get you thinking in the right direction.
Apple
Apple computers actually hires a lot of work from home support staff all over the world. What do these staff do? Well they offer support for customers who call in and need help with their iPhones, iPods, iPads and all other istuff on the market. Pay is decent and the hours are pretty flexible depending on what you need. From what I hear Apple is actually a great company to work for and they generally have pretty happy employees.
1800flowers.com
1800 flowers also offers work from home employment. They like Apple have customer service reps who handle phone calls and troubled customers. You may not think this sounds like a very fun job but you can actually have a lot of fun handing customer service questions work from home employee monitoting for people who are sending flowers around. I would suggest applying before some of the big flower holidays like valentines day and mothers day.
Microsoft
Microsoft is pretty cool because not only do they have a flexible work environment but the are ethically a great company to work for. Working for Microsoft will probably include software support and helping people get integrated in their new systems.
These are just three great companies that have work from home opportunities that they offer to employees. For more information I would contact the companies directly and ask to speak to someone in HR. As always I am not a specialist or hr guru but I do have some experience with job boards and companies who hire online. I would consult with a specialist if you have specific job search questions. Good luck in your work from home adventures.
