Sell in May and go away?
While that may or may not be true for the stock market, it doesn’t mean anything for job hunters.
This page will be updated throughout the week as new work from home job opportunities are discovered.
Every job listing is personally vetted to ensure that it’s legit in order to make the list.
But even as thorough as I can be, some unforeseen, low quality work may slip through the cracks. If you find any, please let me know and I’ll remove it ASAP.
I am not paid for these listings nor are they sponsored. There are also no affiliate links.
They’re just literal, legit, WFH opportunities for the people. By the person. For the person.
BTW, if you know of any good WFH job leads, post a comment and I’ll check it out.
(And if you found this list handy, please share with your friends. It’s the most you could do 😁).
Happy WFH hunting!

Overall thoughts
You’ll be working students and their parents responding to technical issues with K12 software, hardware, and networking systems. Most of the support will be through the phone. You should be able to handle high volume calls, provide advice, assist customers with SOPs, using ticketing/CRM software, and more.
This is a legit WFH position for a company that’s well established in the remote learning space. So the requirements are a bit more strict than other positions.
But if you enjoy the industry, try out Stride. You’ll be helping students learn. I mean, it really stands out from regular CS because of the impact you’ll be making, right?

5/7 – World Travel Holdings (Customer Care Reps)
This position is a good entry level position for those new to customer service. If you like travel, you may want to check out this job opportunity with World Travel Holdings (WTH).

Overall thoughts
This is a good WFH job for those without experience. They offer paid training, incentives, benefits package, and even discounted travel!
Their job description says you’ll be taking 2-3 calls per hour, so the volume is a lot lower than other similar positions. But that means more dedicated service quality per customer. You’ll b dealing with things like changing reservations, following SOPs, meeting goals, working with chats/emails/phone, working with teams online, etc.

Overall thoughts
Telus is a well-known AI company in the online space. With the advent of AI taking over, the ability to secure a job is probably diminished. The work is pretty boring and routine, but if you enjoy that, it’s easy money while you’re online. They also increase pay if your state’s minimum wage is higher than their base pay (like CA).
But recent reports say that they just outright not hire for states with high minimum wage. So you may have some trouble if you’re in CA or NY.
Recently, there have been a batch of new tasks on the platform, so there’s been plenty of work available. They’ve even offered bonus hours up to 35 hours per week rather than their standard 20.
If you’re always on the PC, this is a perfect way to supplement your income. No way it’ll replace a full time income, but part time is all good. You set your own hours, but there may not always be work available (“NTA”).
It’s an easy 1K per month in your spare time.
Regardless, Telus is one of the most popular WFH PT work on the Internet. It’s a great place to start if you’re looking for a legit, WFH position.
There are multiple positions on their job portal. If you’re in the US, look for US Rater 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4. They’re all the same job position. The difference is that some are W2 while others are 1099 (independent contractor). W2 is obviously the preferred choice.
