Working from Home in the Magnolia State
Perhaps you’re looking for a top job position in Mississippi but are, for whatever reason, not keen on a 9-to-5 affair. Growing numbers of people are turning to freelance work that the Internet makes increasingly possible day by day. And we’re not talking the menial stuffing of envelopes and assembling of junk that people associate with ‘working-from-home’.
Of course, there’s always more of a risk of getting ripped off from online jobs than it is by a company you’re working for day after day but there are ways to reduce the risk. Using good jobs, credible websites with high ratings and doing what research you can on the employer/buyer is a good way to start.
There are plenty of jobs you can find, in Mississippi and anywhere else, including but certainly not limited to:
Graphic design
Editing/proofreading
Copywriting and content writing
Virtual assistants
Business consultancy
Customer service
Sales and marketing
Transcription
Human resources
Software programming
Financial consultancy
Virtual call center agents
And many more. Maybe you’re recently a mom or dad and want to stay at home and still work. Chances are good that you’ll find something you’re trained for and are happy doing from home. There is a lot to recommend this lifestyle, including making your own schedule, taking more frequent breaks that keep you healthy and happy and being closer to the kids. It also allows you to follow up on other hobbies and interests you never had time for, provided you can manage the home distractions and keep yourself organized.
It’s also a great way to keep contributing to society while earning a bit of extra money if you’re retired and that pension doesn’t really cover all the bills, or just if you’re bored. Or maybe you’re physically disabled in a way that makes long commutes difficult – chances are you can find what you enjoy doing online as well.
And if you’re a ‘rat-racer’ who has had just about enough of the stress and headache, well, this is the perfect alternative. You save on emotional, physical and mental wear and tear; save on gas bills, clothing and car maintenance. Working from home, of course, doesn’t work well with everybody; some people need that external structure and discipline that a workplace affords. But if you feel able to organize yourself sufficiently then this is definitely a possibility to consider
