7 Unusual Work-From-Home Jobs.

Carol Tice, PayScale.com details how, increasingly, more of us will be working from home “ditching your cubicle and making money in your pajamas. … advances in technology have brought work-from-home jobs to nearly every business sector.” This is due in part to employers trying to scale back on expenses, but also on the increased independence and flexibility it gives to the worker who might be juggling work and home duties.

She lists and gives details about 7 jobs you might give some consideration if you’re itching to work at home or if your job circumstances have changed and you need a new way to pull in a paycheck.

* Concierge yes, you can do it remotely, from your computer to a flat screen TV in a hotel lobby or visitors lounge. “Virtual concierges use videoconferencing technology to ask hotel guests about their interests and provide them with sightseeing tips” or other information.

* Catering manager — “The telecommuting work involves coordinating banquet orders via phone and computer software, then traveling to job sites to oversee the actual events, with no office or commercial-kitchen time needed.”

* Online instructor — Meetings, training, webinars and one-to-one coaching are all executed online today.  Like “virtual nursing” by phone, there’s both a need and a demand.

* Nonprofit executive director – “Nonprofits like the lower overhead costs.”  If you have the credentials, you might propose this to a non-profit in your area.

* Patient champion/patient advocate — ” Patient champions help ill people navigate the complexities of the healthcare system — calling doctors, obtaining copies of medical records, and accompanying patients on doctor visits.”

* Virtual juror — See  Virtual Juror and Online Verdict.  Help give a lawyer a feel for how a jury might react.  There’s good money in it.

* Virtual nurse — “Registered nurses tired of working 12-hour shifts standing on their feet are taking advantage of booming opportunities in virtual nursing. In teletriage, nurses staff phone lines and take calls from people with health emergencies, helping them evaluate whether they need an immediate trip to the ER.”

Working online is the wave of the future.  For full details see 7 Unusual Work-From-Home Jobs.
