Legit Work at Home Jobs

After years of working in retail management I deiced that I wanted to work at home and be my own boss and work the hours that I wanted without having to worry about my kids getting sick and not being able to be there for them. So I began a journey that has changed my life. I will admit working at home now for the last 2 years has been great but it really isn't for everyone. If you have little kids, phone jobs are hard to do as you need a work space where its quite or have a room where you can set up an office, most of these companies will record all calls and they give feedbacks and if they hear any thing like a dog barking, child crying, that is means to terminate you. I know most people that do have kids work at nights or early mornings so they don't have to worry about these issues. Most companies hire you as a independent contractor, this means that they don't take taxes out but will send you a 1099 form at tax time if you make over $600. Only a few will hire you as an employee. The rule is if you have to pay for information on a job don't do it! A few companies will have you pay for a background check and they range in price most are $30. This is the norm so don't worry if you have questions make sure to always research a company before you apply or send money. Here is a list of legit home at home companies most pertaining to processing calls or order placement and customer service. A good number of these companies service inbound calls, but there are some that are outbound projects.
