One of the most searched terms on the internet is "work from home". Not surprisingly really. As someone who works at home, I can attest the benefits are many. The trouble is, the very situation of being a remote worker puts you at risk of the millions of scam jobs out there. It is super important that you fully research a company before you apply for an at-home position and that you fully understand what your status would be - some might class you as an employee, others you will be an independent contractor. Competition is high for work at home jobs but it can also be a bit of a slog finding positions to apply for.
