5 Best Work-From-Home Jobs

Just a few days ago, the website FlexJobs, which specializes in working at home, published its annual list of the 100 top companies with remote jobs in 2019.

I would practically have to write a book to cover the specifics of all 100 companies. But instead, I'm going to focus on the ten best work-at-home jobs, drawing from this list.

This will provide a sample of how the process works, what you can expect, as well as the benefits the arrangement offers.

Let's take a closer look at the ten best work-at-home jobs from FlexJobs' list.

1. Apan

However, they also have offices in the US and the UK and offer opportunities in over 130 countries worldwide. The company works with some of the world's largest companies, including eight of the top 10 technology companies

They also offer microtasks, which are small jobs that can be completed from home in about an hour.

As you can see, not only do they have work-from-home jobs available, but they also offer complete flexibility.

2. Leo

Based in Waltham, Massachusetts, Lionbridge has positions available that are part-time, freelance, and remote. Positions are available in banking and finance, engineering, gaming, global marketing, autos, legal services, life sciences, machine intelligence, testing, and translation and localization.

Translation services seem to be particularly common among remote job offers. Given the growth of global markets, there is a clear need to reach and communicate with consumers in hundreds of local languages. Lionbridge employs more than 100,000 language professionals working in 15 different industries.

But this is just an example. In total, Lionbridge works with more than half a million people in 26 countries, most of whom work remotely. Like Appen, it's likely that you'll be able to find a position that gives you the kind of flexibility you're looking for, whether it's full-time or part-time.

3. VIPKID

Positions available to work remotely, either part-time or freelance. The website currently advertises paying $22 an hour.

The service offers English as a second language for children up to eight years old in China. Teachers are native English speakers who deliver one-on-one courses based on the US Common Core State Standards. And as a teacher, you'll have ongoing paid training as well as professional development opportunities. You will be able to work from home and choose your own schedule.

4. Lives

Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Liveops bills itself as a "modern call center that isn't a call center." This should give you a strong indication of what they do, and how and where it happens. The company does not have conventional call centers, but instead employs more than 20,000 independent agents, working remotely. Thus, it also describes itself as the world's largest cloud contact center.

The company specializes in providing agents for travel and hospitality, telecom, roadside assistance, high-tech, retail, finance, healthcare, insurance companies, and even the federal government. Work is available throughout the United States on both a full-time and part-time basis.
