One of the things I do for some of my fellow Veterans is find them work. Over the past few years I have found employment for nearly 300 Veterans.

I charge no fee for this - it is something I do for free.

I was hit up with one the other day that has me stumped. Two disabled Veterans in eastern Canada want to work but need to remain at home to do this.

Their minds are solid but their bodies are not.

They both told me there are a lot of scams out there.

Anyone know of any legitimate opportunities where someone can be employed from home?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
 
There are certain areas were home medical related jobs are available such as billing, collections, phone contacts, appointments etc....You might check with some of the local health care facilities around there. A lot of companies would rather sub-contract out certain segments and save on benefits/cost.


Here is a list of other ideals as some people have some really special talents...

"Their minds are solid but their bodies are not".

There must be institutions that employ disabled people to create/invent/design special needs 'tools' for the disabled. I like this idea and it can be done from home.

Or...they start their own business (if they can get funding) and other veterans in the same situation join them.

There are, but not in the case of the three or four I was contacted by - they need to be at home. The distances are too great and the travel is the issue.

If anyone has some legitimate web sites that can assist I would be grateful as I have found that most all are "scammy".

Thanks and take care.

I agree, however what I am looking for is "no scam" website that opens some of these doors.

It is amazing how many of these sites want money and provide no service to those who are looking.

Got any ideas?

Thanks
 
We are not to this point yet, and it would take some market specific knowledge, but the biggest mail order fence supply outfit in the US has several folks taking orders from their spare bedroom in their pajamas. Seems that there should be plenty of options out there...If they are creative enough. Thank you for what you are doing. It means more than you'll ever know.
 
Seems this is a larger issue than I thought as I now have 7 Veterans who are living in their homes attached to various tubes and things that are looking. I might have to go on the road and start visiting some businesses that would be interested or able to employ these people.

I might have inadvertently started something.
 
It sure would be nice to talk to someone who can speak good English when dealing with some companies customer service hot lines. Being hard of hearing too start with, computer illiterate and then trying to understand what some foreigner is saying is dang near impossible. I wish you the best of luck.
 
I wish I had some good answers or suggestions for you Logar. Your's, is an honorable endeavor.

There are lots of computer related things that home or even bed bound people can do in the realm of science, but getting paid for their efforts is much more difficult.

Boinc and things like SETI online and Einestien@Home, ScienceUnited etc..where people volunteer their unused computer resources to process data for scientific research comes to mind. There are ways to monetize Boinc nowadays but I don't really know much about it.

"buyer" beware I suppose, tho it evidently doesn't cost anything...

Good luck
 
I took a picture of a poster for a help wanted ad my cousin's wife posted for a stay at home company she works for, 100% legit company. How do I share the picture with you? Can't figure out how to do that on this board.
 
One of my wifes friends works from home paying the wages of workers at a big mining company. They would need training but if they have some experience previously it is something you may be able to offer as a service to large companies. They send the list of the workers to be paid and hours worked. But of course gaining trust is essential.
 
From my own experience, I can say that it's pretty easy to get started like a copywriter or digital marketing assistant. If they know the languages, then that's great, because now there are online translation services and they are interested in people.
 
I just saw this and thought it might help you

With a large share of eligible workers looking for employment, job searching platform FlexJobs combed through its database to identify 14 high-paying positions that are full-time and fully remote.

While each of these roles requires a different level of experience and skills, they all have one main benefit in common: the potential to pay employees $100,000 or more annually.

To land these jobs, FlexJobs director of people and culture Carol Cochran tells CNBC Make It that it will be crucial for candidates to detail three simple things in their resume and cover letter to prove they can be a competent remote worker.

First, she says, if you had to transition to a remote work culture at the start of the pandemic then you will want to detail what that adjustment looked like for you in your cover letter. If you're someone who got furloughed or laid off from work, then she says you'll want detail any remote learning or remote volunteer opportunities you participated in at your previous job to show you have some experience with working outside an office.

Secondly, she says in your resume you'll want to highlight in-office experiences that can easily be translated to a remote work culture. For example, she explains that if "you coordinated a meeting across multiple time zones or you collaborated with people in offices in different cities" then you'll want to detail those tasks.

Lastly, she says, to ensure that you're submitting a standout resume you'll want to include "keywords or phrases from the job description itself." This way, Cochran says, it will catch the "eye of either the person, or in most cases the applicant tracking system, that's going to kind of be looking at your resume."

These tips, she adds, "are just some of the ways you can help connect the dots for why you would make a great remote worker."
