Looking for Companies that Allow Telecommuting?
Telecommuting is now gaining more popularity as a type of perk for employees. Aside from its ability to make companies look good, especially those who employ work at home moms, more firms are being put up for the sole role of matching home based workers with companies that need them.
For the devoted telecommuter’s delight, here’s a list of companies that makes working from home either part-time or full-time feasible:
Alpine Access
Palm Coast Data (FL) (web based transcription services)
Sun Microsystems
SureWest Communications
IntelliCare (health care call center company in Portland, Maine)
Methodist Hospital (Houston) IT, marketing, human resources positions
Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) in Cleveland, Ohio
Pitney Bowes
The Treasury Department
Patent and Trademark Office
IBM
JetBlue (home-based service representatives)
Home Federal Bank (South Dakota)
PyraMax Bank ($437 million-asset community bank in Greenfield, Wis.)
GE Energy (Atlanta)
Georgia Power (Atlanta)
Qualcomm Inc. (to ease commuter woes of its employees in Sorrento Valley, California)
IBM in Research Triangle Park
U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General
Deloitte Services LP.

Hi Julie,
For starters, you can browse on some telecommute or work from home topics that interest you by getting into the categories (see sidebar).
Applying for telecommute jobs is usually just like how you apply for non-telecommute jobs, send a resume and wait for a response from the employer.
Thanks for dropping by.

Most of the companies listed require US residency as one of their requirements, are there any other companies who hire non-US residents? By the way, if you’re going to apply as an independent contractor, they still need an SSN. I am just wondering, please enlighen me about this.

Lolek,
Yes, these are telecommute-friendly companies for US residents only.
Will be soon posting a list of Philippine-based companies allowing, of course, Filipinos to telecommute.

[…] 5. Company websites. Is there any specific company that you want to work for? Go straight to the company’s website. Many brick-and-mortar companies need an online presence to widen their market base, and they need writers, advertising and marketing experts, and graphic artists to create the best website for them. Many contact center businesses now allow their agents to work from home provided they possess the efficiency and tools required to carry out the tasks. Here’s a list of companies that allow their employees to work from home. If you want an online paid blogging job, you might want to go directly to the blog network you want to blog for. […]

[…] Also, if you don’t want to go solo looking for your own clients, try Best Job Philippines or Craigslist first and look for companies, usually startup businesses operating in home offices, who are hiring home-based call center agents or telemarketers. If you are good in bidding, GetaFreelancer.com and Scriptlance.com can be good sources of these home-based jobs, too. But again, just be very careful and do your homework before agreeing to work for just any company to avoid scammers. […]

[…] The other perks of having the option to telecommute is being able to work anytime you think you’d be at your most productive. Though this is not always the case as there are companies who allow their employees to work at home and that check on them every now and then. Companies in the Philippines don’t seem to be ready to graze this pasture, yet. But if you find one, I will appreciate it if you will tell me a thing or two about it.
