Dear BKaufmann,
As people have already told you, almost any kind of job (OK, not a
flight attendant) could be done at home: lawyers, accountants,
computer programmers or bakers are only few among those who could make
a lot at home. For example, if you take a short course of coding or
baking pies for coffee shops in your area, you can offer your services
and make very good living out of it. All of this is not said in order
to aggravate you - I realize that you haven't meant "any" kind of job
- you're obviously not a GP, a lawyer, or a programmer, or you would
have said so.
The kind of job that was offered by ckrebehenne-ga, and that you've
thought positively of, is actually possible, and one needs minimal
training and equipment to do it. WillowCSN is a company that employs
thousands of Americans in call centre ? from home (just like the one
that was offered in the comment), and offers vacancies in Iowa as
well:
WillowCSN
<http://www.willowcsn.com/CyberCorps/index.asp>
Their hourly rate, they claim, is $10-$14 an hour. They do require
training beforehand, and only if you pass the training, you can work
for them. However, I have found no complaints (at the BBB or in
general) that might indicate that it is a scam, where one pays for
?training? but never receives the goods. On the contrary ? I?ve found
articles describing this kind of ?Homesourced? call-centre.
O?Currance also offers a ?work from home? scheme for office workers.
Here is their employment/vacancies page:
O?Currance
<http://www.ocurrance.com/index/mod/employment>
A similar service looking for agents is West.
West ? Work at Home Agent
<http://www.workathomeagent.com/>
Unlike Willow, they do not require (at least not in their
explanations), some training. However, you are completely independent
in this scheme, and they do not ensure hourly wages. They write that
?The standard per minute rate is $.17 per minute?. That is about $10
an hour.
Similarly, LiveOPs offers such a job for agents, as contractors. They
claim that agents make ?up to $15 an hour? (they do not say what is
the minimum wage!) and that some make $3,000 a month.
<http://www.liveops.com/become_agent.html>
?If you have experience in processing payroll, or you have worked
with bills of lading in shipping and receiving? ARO is looking for
such people for home-based work:
Auditors needed for a division of ARO, VTAudit
<http://www.callcenteroptions.com/careers.asp>
Finally, CIBERsits also offers telecommute jobs:
CIBERsites
< http://www.cibersites.com/>
After reviewing these type of jobs ? from companies that actually
recruit in your area ? the ball is in your hands. Quite frankly, call
centre and virtual office jobs are not the ?best earning? jobs out
there; just as most secretaries make much less than most computer
programmers in the non-telecommuting world. Therefore, you might want
to reconsider ? maybe you can teach yourself some required skill
(programming/coding, for example) ? and earn much more from home.

Dear Bkaufmann,
Now I am really baffled. This is not your first question on Google
Answers, which means that you are familiar with the nature of this
venue. This is not a job board, where you?d post your request and
miraculously some employer would show up and take you ? it is a
research service, where Researchers collect and analyse information
for you. A Researcher cannot guarantee that a job would be provided,
especially not for someone who did not disclose their qualifications,
and that after several times that they have been asked to do it. An
employer might guarantee a job, but they?d do it if they know the
person or have any basis to be sure that this person is the right
person for the job. This would not exist in Internet jobs ? because
this kind of trust is based on acquaintance. On the other hand, a
Researcher can give you, just like I have just given you, a list to
places where it is guaranteed, that if you applied, you?d be seriously
considered despite your lack of qualifications on the face of it. This
is as far as a guaranteed job as one can get.
