Work-Whenever-You-Want Jobs From Home – [45+ Legit Companies!]

I get lots of Facebook messages and emails from people who are looking for work from home jobs that don't come with strict, set schedules. This is probably the second most common request I get next to people looking for non-phone work.

In the last six years, I've actually written about a lot of jobs like this, but I've never made a list of companies although I do have a list of part time work from home jobs. So this post is a big list of those jobs I've reviewed that allow you to work more or less when it's convenient for you.

Note I have left off the freelance writing, editing, transcription, and translation companies because these almost always allow you the freedom to set your own schedule. The companies listed below are divided up into phone and non-phone jobs.

Want To Find More High-Paying Home-Based Jobs?

I recommend getting a membership at FlexJobs. I'm a member here, and love it! They pre-screen all their job leads for scams prior to posting them and most of what I've found pay a respectable wage. They also have a policy against posting job leads submitted by companies that do not have actual, physical offices.

FlexJobs has been listed as the top site for telecommuting jobs on Forbes, CNN, USA Today, and several other reputable media outlets. You can go into Account Settings once you have your membership and set it up so it doesn't bill you for the next month if you just want to try it for a month and see how you like it. This is what I did, but I opted to keep my membership. It costs $15 monthly, and it's easy to cancel.
