Remote jobs (work from home)

Remote means you do the job from home or from a laptop or phone. These jobs get a lot of applicants. They are also where many job scams hide. Use this part with care.

What to know first

  • Most remote jobs need a computer or phone, steady internet, and a quiet place. No home internet? An American Job Center has free computers and internet.
  • "Remote" can mean different things. Some jobs let you live anywhere. Others only hire people who live in certain states. Read the listing.
  • Pay and tax rules can change by state. Ask the employer where the work counts as being done.
  • Real employers do not charge you to be hired.

Big job websites

These sites list jobs that employers post. They do not check every job. Use the 5-minute check below on each one. Websites change their buttons, so you may see different filters.

Big job site

Indeed

Type remote or a job name in the search box. Leave the location empty to see jobs from many places, or type Tennessee. Use the Remote filter if you see it. Check each listing's location line.

LinkedIn Jobs

Search a job name and look for a Remote choice in the filters. It is best if you have a LinkedIn profile. A free account works.

Official: U.S. government

USAJOBS

The government's job site. It has a Remote filter in its search. Real federal jobs, but the application is long and takes time. Apply only on usajobs.gov. The government never charges you to apply.

Safest way

The company's own website

Find a company you know and trust. Go to its website and look for "Careers" or "Jobs." If you find a job on a big site, find the same job on the company's own site before you apply.

The 5-minute check before you apply

  1. Find the company's own website and its careers page. Does the same job appear there?
  2. Search the company name with the word "scam" or "complaint." Read what comes up.
  3. Look at where the work is done. Do you live in a place they hire from?
  4. Ask for the pay, hours, and who you report to in writing. A real employer can tell you.
  5. Tell someone you trust about the job before you say yes.
Remote job scam signs:
  • It promises "thousands of dollars a month" for little time or work.
  • It says you can be your own boss, then asks you to pay for a starter kit, training, or a certificate.
  • It sends you a check and tells you to send part of it back or buy gift cards. The check will bounce, and you will owe the bank.

Some sites charge a membership fee to see "remote jobs." You do not need to pay to find a job. The free sites above are enough.

Credit and jobs

Some employers may look at a credit-based report when you apply. It is not the same as your credit score. Here is what the law says employers must do:

  • Tell you in writing before they get the report. The notice is a separate paper.
  • Get your written OK first.
  • If they may not hire you because of the report, they must give you a copy of it and a summary of your rights before they decide.

If something in the report is wrong, you can tell the employer and the report company. Many jobs never check credit at all.
