Mar. 19, 2020: I am posting this work from home blog post because I'm sure a lot of people are working at home or just at home because they aren't allowed to work because of the COVID- 19.

I have done some research on these work from home companies.

About Flexjobs:

How & Why FlexJobs Started



FlexJobs was created in 2007 to provide a trusted, more effective, friendly, and overall better way to find professional remote and flexible jobs. We were founded by job space pioneer Sara Sutton after she had been looking for a flexible job after starting her family. She realized that millions of others were just as frustrated by the ads, scams, and inefficiencies on other job boards that wasted her time in finding a good flexible job, and so she decided to create the solution she was looking for. It wasn’t our original intention, but somehow FlexJobs has become a leader in the flexible job movement that's currently disrupting the traditional workforce. And, we seem to show up in the press weekly as people turn to us for guidance. You can browse hundreds of those articles on our Press page.

How FlexJobs Works


Our first goal is to remove the key pain point of finding great remote and flexible job opportunities that are typically harder and more-time consuming to find anywhere else. We work with thousands of companies who post flexible jobs directly to our site, but our “super powers” really come from our team of excellent, educated, trained researchers who scour hundreds of online job resources every day (including industry blogs, employer sites, reliable job boards, and more)... so you don’t have to! 
When they find a job listing that appears promising, they dig in for more critical evaluations. If it passes that phase, then the researchers find the most direct way for you to apply to that job (ideally on the employer's site, but not always). Only then is the job added to our site, along with staff-written job summaries, company descriptions, company headquarters, and other useful information.
Our second goal is to provide you with top notch tools, resources, articles, and tips to support you in your job search to find a job that better fits your life. We offer our members specialized job search checklists, exclusive access to both Career Coaching and Resume Review at a deep discount, over 170 expert skills tests, thousands of articles, webinars with top hiring companies, educational guides and courses, and more. We also have fantastic Member Savings offers that include discounts on over 60 vetted products and services to help support you in your work and life, such as Dell, Lynda.com, WeWork, Audible, Grammarly, Quickbooks, Sittercity, Costco, and many more.

Who Should Use FlexJobs


The quick answer is "anyone who wants a job with some kind of flexibility - a remote, telecommuting, part-time, freelance, or flextime job". With over 50 career categories and jobs ranging from entry-level to executive, freelance to full-time, we really do offer something for almost anyone!
Specifically, FlexJobs is a fantastic resource for:
  • People interested in working from home or remotely some, or all, of the time.
  • Anyone looking for a career-oriented part-time job (on-site or remote).
  • Freelancers looking for more clients and projects.
  • Anyone looking for flexible or alternative schedules.
  • Parents wanting to be more flexible for their kids and families.
  • Someone looking for a second job or supplemental income that utilizes their skills and education in a professional way.
  • People who live in rural or local areas where they can’t find a job in their career field without having to move.
  • People with physical or health issues wanting/needing to find flexible work or remote jobs to suit their needs.
  • Caretakers of loved ones with health issues, for the same reasons as above.
  • Retirees looking to stay professionally active and to earn some income.
  • Military spouses who need the flexibility to work from anywhere, in case their spouses are re-stationed.
  • Competitive athletes wanting a professional job that will fit around their training and competition schedules.
  • And anyone else who would appreciate a job that better fits with their life, not a life that fits with their job!

FlexJobs Benefits: A Better Way to Find a Better Job


There are hundreds, if not thousands, of job sites out there… but they definitely are not all created equal. For more than 10 years, FlexJobs’ dedicated team has been helping our users find flexible jobs faster, with less stress and more support, and we've been doing it with a deep commitment to integrity and innovation. For us, finding a flexible job is about helping people to find a better way of work and of life—for themselves, of course, but the benefits can also impact their loved ones and communities. This belief is at the core of what we do, and as you consider trying FlexJobs as a tool in your job search, you can know that we want you to have an easier, more positive job search experience from day one.

The Biggest, Best Site For Hand-Screened Flexible Jobs




If you are interested in finding a great remote, freelance, part-time, and flexible job, then FlexJobs is exactly the site for you! Each of the 27,342 jobs and 5,601 companies currently on our site have been hand-screened for legitimacy, professionalism, and work flexibility. That means that you can skip the hours of research yourself, simply log in to FlexJobs, and find all of the best quality flexible job listings waiting for you. A faster, easier, better job search.

Find Professional Flexible Jobs In Your Career Field




We have professional job listings in over 50 career categories ranging from entry-level to executive, freelance to full-time, and local to global. We regularly hear skepticism about whether there are flexible jobs in particular industries or career levels, and we're here to tell you there are! We have surprising remote and flexible jobs that even the savviest job seeker might not have imagined. So, have hope that you can find it for yourself, too, and let us help you!

A Clean, Ad-Free, Scam-Free Job Search




We are dedicated and passionate about providing a better job search experience, and a big part of that means being able to trust the jobs you're looking at are legitimate, and not having to deal with the annoying/distracting ads or wondering if a job is "too good to be true" (aka, "a job scam"). Unfortunately, scammers are aggressive, can be surprisingly savvy, and are found on all major job boards--except ours! Our trained team hand-screens every single job and company for legitimacy, so only the best, professional jobs get posted.

Excellent Job Search Resources To Support You Now And In Your Career




There is an overwhelming amount of job information out there, so we have curated and condensed what we believe is the most useful for people looking for flexible jobs and careers. We provide great job search checklists, award-winning career content from top writers, 170 expert skills tests to better assess and promote your skills, video introductions to make your resume stand out, and more!

Also, FlexJobs offers members the opportunity for one-on-one Career Coaching, Resume Review, or both services bundled together at a highly discounted rate. Our expert coaches can answer your questions about resumes, job search tactics for remote and flexible work, career changes and transitions, and much more.

Special Members-Only Savings on Job Search, Work, and Lifestyle Products




In addition to great job resources, FlexJobs membership also provides valuable pre-negotiated discounts ranging from 10%-50% off on over sixty fantastic products and services that support your job search, a better work experience, and your lifestyle. In addition to being great deals, these savings can easily help offset the cost of your FlexJobs membership!

As an exclusive benefit, FlexJobs also offers Career Coaching, Resume Review, or a bundle of both services at a significant discount from traditional rates.

Pay a Little, Get a Lot... Or Ask for a Refund




We understand that 99.9% of job sites are free, and so paying for FlexJobs can seem strange (even suspicious) at first. However, we are not just a job site. We are a premium job search service, offering you personalized support, curated and trusted resources, and guiding tools to help you in your job search, your career, and your work-life fit.

Not only do we have a 5 star, A+ rating by the BBB, but in survey after survey our users say that they prefer our service FAR better than all others. This is because, for all the reasons listed on this page, the small cost of a FlexJobs subscription is worth it. We really do make job searches better, and many of our users stay on after they’ve found a job for the ongoing benefits.

Plus, if you're not satisfied for any reason, simply cancel and ask for a refund within 30 days of subscribing. It's honestly that simple, safe, and allows your investment in FlexJobs (and in yourself!) to be risk-free.

Great Customer Service Is Really, Really, Really Important to Us




While much of our service is modern, forward-thinking, and technology-driven, this is one area where you can call us old-fashioned. We think that great customer service is super important, and we also believe that it is still almost always better when provided by a friendly, helpful, intelligent human being. So, when you contact us, you'll actually connect with a real person (US-based) from our team who truly wants to help you make your job search a productive and positive one.

FlexJobs Doesn't Just Talk the Talk, We Walk the Walk




While the staff behind FlexJobs is, of course, top notch, another important thing to know is that we don't just talk the talk of work flexibility, but we walk the walk! Our whole staff works from home offices across the country, and most of us work with flexible hours, too. We truly understand what our members want, because we wanted the same: good job opportunities that offer flexibility, so that you can live your life to the fullest. Our goal is to get you there.

And to Back It All up, We Have Proof




While we can tell you all of the fantastic things we offer and why it's worth becoming a FlexJobs member, sometimes it's nice to have confirmation. And we have lots of that! There are thousands of stories from users highlighted on our Success Stories page, and almost as many articles from top trusted media like Forbes, USA Today, Fast Company, CNBC, and the Wall Street Journal on our Press and Awards page. So, if you’re curious if we’re the real deal and can truly help someone like you, the answer is YES!

ContractWorld:

by Chris Durst     Dec. 9, 2016
ContractWorld contracts with work from home customer service agents to service their many accounts – including Pizza Hut!
Pay: As a Remote Contract Agent you can earn on average $11 to $16 an hour.
From their site:
  • Flexible On-Line Scheduling: As a Home Agent you set your work availability to suit your lifestyle, while ensuring you are meeting the contracts requirements.
  • You get private access to LiveXconnect.com where you can easily build your work schedules in advance.
  • Hours are distributed evenly within the availability profile you set up. Get extra hours or post unwanted hours to other Remote Contract Agents using the “Shift Board”.
Training:
You are fully trained, on-line, for each of your chosen work-at-home jobs. Training time varies by client, it can be few days or sometimes a week or two. You are required to pay a small fee for your training courses.*

*IMPORTANT NOTE:
These are
independent contractor roles, so you will not be an employee of the company. You will work for yourself and ContractWorld will contract with you to service their customers. If you’ve ever wanted to be your own boss, call center opportunities are a great place to begin.
There are LEGITIMATE FEES associated with this opportunity. The IRS is very strict about the differences between employee and independent contractor status. For example, a company that works with contractors cannot pay for their training so, in many cases, companies like this one will charge a small, legitimate fee to train you to work on specific customer accounts. There may also be a small monthly fee for use of their equipment to handle incoming calls. The fees are not big and, in most cases, can be written off as business expenses on your taxes. 🙂

Mar. 4, 2020 Call Centers: Work-At-Home Jobs in Canada: I found this article by Laureen Miles Birelli.  There are 10 places.  I applied to some of them. 

The Direct Energy link doesn't work.

I went to GE Retail Finance, Staples Canada, and U-Haul websites.  I typed in "work from home" in search jobs, and no results.
