Work From Home Job Search

If you have read the about Telecommuting on the Telecommuting page, you know that people who work at home in jobs do much of the same types of work as everyone else. What they don't do is stuff envelopes, assemble doll houses, or "process email."

Warning: Just like the scams and biz ops posing as jobs that you find in the newspaper classifieds, so too will you find them on job search sites. WAHS recommends ignoring any job announcement asking for money. They are most often scams or business opportunities. And, there are too many legitimate jobs to be wasting your money. For information on protecting yourself from scams visit the Scam Alert page.
