Once you’ve identified the companies that you’re interested in, start searching for open positions through the employer’s official website.

FlexJobs, which released this study, is another legitimate resource if you’re serious about looking for a stay-at-home job. You may want to consider a short-term subscription, which starts at $14.95 for a month.

Yes, the service costs a few bucks — but it filters out all of the scam job postings.
