An Updated List of Legit Work From Home Jobs in 2020

The “gig economy”. Having an “entrepreneurial mindset”. Working a job that’s “location independent”. These are all phrases that have popped up over the past several years, in relation to working from home.

If you work a traditional 9-to-5, do these terms sound almost fictional, or at least not possible for someone of your age or level of expertise?

Well here is some interesting news —

Work from home jobs are not only attainable, they are widely available AND perfectly legit. They no longer hold the stigma of “too good to be true” or “an envelope-stuffing scam”.

Because companies are evolving. They now realize flexibility keeps their employees happy (and healthy!) And a happy employee will do the job the right way, plus stick around longer.

Don’t believe me?

Keep on reading … because the following post includes the research, reviews, and one-on-one interviews to prove it.

Work from home jobs are the wave of the future. And I, for one, am TOTALLY on board. I’ve been a full-time remote employee for the past five years, and couldn’t be happier.

But don’t just take my word for it. Read on, for all of the juicy details and data.

How to Create the Perfect Resume

Okay, so maybe saying this will definitively get you hired for your dream job is not a guarantee anyone can make. But at the very least, this article WILL put you multiple steps ahead in landing the job you’re after.

The one that will have you eagerly jumping out of bed in the morning. Because isn’t that what we all want? Find something you really love to do, and then figure out a way to get paid for it.

Well, I’m a tiny bit embarrassed to tell you I haven’t updated my own resume in quite some time. I’d guess roughly 8 years. I know, I know — blasphemous! So this post is a timely reminder for us all, myself included.

No matter how solid & stable your current employment situation may be, you should never rest on your laurels without having a backup plan.

Because there are really no guarantees in the workforce. And once your employment is negatively affected, it’s like a ripple effect. Everything else starts to follow suit, fast and furiously hitting the fan.

Mortgage payments, bills, utilities, groceries — all the things that require money, now hang in the balance (pun intended).

That’s why it’s best to proactively plan for these scenarios.

And it’s also why I’m really excited to share this post with you, so you can be sufficiently equipped for wherever your next career move takes you.
