Looking for work from home jobs. What options do I have?

Today we’re looking at work from home jobs, platforms and opportunities. Why? Many of us got struck by the economic effects of COVID-19 pandemic, whether the work load changed or got unemployed, and thus work from jobs got into our Google search. Others started reconsidering the idea of work from home, tired of working more than 8 hours a day before the lockdown, plus extra time commuting. So, it came naturally to see what options we have… in a time when work from jobs become a trendy topic. Look how work from home jobs got into the daily talk, instead of the freelance niche. So what if you worked in the production field, so what if some requirements are totally new? People learn all their lives, make changes and adapt and that’s a sign of being young.

If you come to think about it, even if we never got into this conversation before, it may be worth it at this point. Because with an 8-hour job plus commuting,  we get back home exhausted, and few of us are still up for heroic things around the house or playing with our kids, or our hobbies… The lockdown opened up possibilities many of us would otherwise postpone or never consider.
