Ok, maybe the word ‘always’ is a bit of a stretch. But the truth is, there really are companies hiring home workers on a regular basis.

Yep, looks like the remote work movement is catching on.

I happen to be one of those lucky souls who works for a company that is part of this movement.  And, to be completely honest, I don’t think I could go back to working for a “regular” company.  Ever.  I’ve gotten so used to working from home that my day DOESN’T begin with a shower.  Besides, all my work clothes are out of date.

As more and more companies get on board with having a remote team, your chances of snagging a real work at home job improves.  Here are 30 of them:

Here Are 30 Companies Who Hire Home Workers Regularly:

#1   ABC Financial is a customer care service provider specializing in helping the fitness industry. They are located in Sherwood, Arkansas and have been around since 1981. The main position they hire for is Customer Care Representative working in a call center environment – from home. The pay is not readily available on their website, but I have learned from actual employees that you can earn between $10.00 and $11. 00 per hour, up to $13.00 if you are bilingual.

#2   Aetna is a well-known health insurance company, covering millions of people in the USA. They have multiple job openings that include professional careers and internships.  Including jobs in claims, telephonic nursing, behavioral health, sales,  IT, and case management, there are many options for anyone wanting to work remotely with this company.

#3  When you think of Amazon, you think “what can I buy?”, right? They also have a ton of jobs in what they call their “virtual locations” division. Some of the openings they have on a regular basis are Virtual Call Center Reps., Data Center Manager to HR Business Partner.  One catch, though: you have to live near a physical Amazon location.
