Ten more work from home job postings are now available.

This week's job postings include two highly paid positions that are telework eligible from the federal government, one in human resources based in Washington, DC, and one in building management based in Chicago.

I've discussed the Hilton@Home reservationist program in the past, but this week's work from home jobs include a position with them as Customer Service Coordinator.

Believe it or not, this week's work at home jobs includes a position as a blogger on the topic of telecommuting. Finally, there have been comments from a few of you who are disabled that have mentioned CORA, and this week's postings include opportunities with them. Admittedly, they are minimum wage, but you do get to work from home.

Today I discovered and reported another scam ad on my home page here. Here's what the ad looked like: The ad clearly says, "Free Work at Home List", doesn't it? So I clicked through and reached a sign up page. Innocent enough. Provided an assumed name and a valid email address and clicked Submit. Then I reached a page that told me:

To Get Your Free Work at Home List Please Follow These 3 Simple Steps to Confirm Your Email Address

Which told me to open my email, open the message and click the confirmation link. I opened my email. The message read:

You were just at our site FreeWorkAtHomeList.com and requested our Free Work At Home List. I look forward to sending it to you. But first, you just need to take a quick second to click on the confirmation link below. This ensures that we only send our list to people who really want them, and it helps eliminate spam.

Okay. I figure no problem. Now I can complete the process. I clicked the link.

The link went to a sign up page for a FREE Google Automated Income Kit - Fast - Free - Profitable. Son of a B, if it's not the same Google work at home scam routine wolf in sheep's clothing again!

But what happened to the "Free Work at Home List"? It's nowhere to be found!

I then clicked the Terms and Conditions link from the Google Income Kit sign up page (always my first step before signing up for anything). Lo and behold, a pop-up window, which describes the Terms and Conditions for the "BlogToolKit" I bring you the same old crap! Where did the BlogToolKit come from? And where is my "Free Work at Home List?" Did somebody eat it when I wasn't looking?

To their credit, this outfit admits they want to take your money right on the sign up page, although it's in very pale gray text. It says (emphasis added):

This is a trustworthy, authentic and secure website (actually, when I clicked through, the browser told me the site's security certificate was invalid)... By continuing, your kit will be sent to you via United States mail, in 3 to 5 business days, S/H not included, so be sure to look for it. Also, by continuing you understand this offer includes a 14-Day Free Trial to the BlogToolKit.com website, which can help you create an additional income using the tools and strategies inside. After the 14-Day Free Trial period, you will continue to enjoy full membership at an affordable $39.95 per month billed automatically to your credit card.

Well, isn't that special? So you're telling me, my Free Work at Home List, is neither:

• A work at home list, nor
• Free.

But wait! It gets even better.
("How could it?", you're asking.)

What they don't tell you directly on the sign up page but do mention in the Terms and Conditions (and I assume the Privacy Policy too, except that I was too ill to read it by that time, and again, I've added emphasis here as I wouldn't want you to miss something exciting):

We may sell our user information and/or join together with other businesses to bring selected opportunities to our members. By allowing us to make the information you supply available to these third parties, you are able to receive free information on products and services that may be of interest to you. We will use contact information from your registration data to send you information about our products and services and to keep you informed of our other products and services that may be of interest to you. This information may also be shared with third party advertisers who may contact you by means of e-mail, telephone or other sources of marketing. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the practices of our third-party advertisers.

Now that's really special! Thanks so much. I'm so glad I clicked your ad. I'm also glad to you are able to eliminate spam by making me click a confirmation link that goes to a completely different offer than the Free Work at Home List you advertised, yet you are willing to SELL my information to others so they can spam me! Now that's just so special that my eyes are welling up with tears.

You have just changed my life! You take truth in advertising to a whole new level! I can't wait to get my Free Work at Home List! Oh, that's right. I'm not getting it. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go on using regular toilet paper instead.

Since I posted the question, Why Do You Work from Home or Want To? I've received over 90 responses from you. What I never realized was the number of you who are disabled and are desperately wanting to find work at home so you can continue to support yourselves and your families.

While I post legitimate work at home jobs each week, and I even occasionally stumble upon a work at home job that is especially suited for the disabled, I have to admit, this is an area that has not received enough attention on this site. My "big" contribution to the subject amounts to a blog post I did over two years ago titled, Work from Home Jobs for the Disabled.

That post talked about an organization known as the National Telecommuting Institute (NTI), which describes itself as follow:

National Telecommuting Institute (NTI) is a unique educational/job-matching organization pioneering the development of telework jobs for Americans with disabilities.

However, not all of the comments on my prior blog post were positive about this organization.

Recently, I've been receiving comments about an organization known as J. Lodge Corporation. Those comments (assuming they can be trusted, and I assume they can), seem to indicate that J.Lodge is the answer for many of those who are disabled and are trying to find work at home. On its website, J. Lodge explains:

Our agents, despite having suffered an illness or injury during their professional career, still yearn for the opportunity to apply their skills within a business environment. Recognizing this need, J.Lodge structured our entire employee model around the physically disabled - providing them a platform to succeed by allowing them to apply their expertise to our client base. This employee model has been the backbone of J.Lodge's success and is what differentiates our company from our competitors.

The company provides services to its clients in the area of call monitoring services (for quality control purposes), call center services, and what they call "All America Works", which they describe as their "Professional contract staffing service focused on placing physically disabled Americans in fulfilling, work at-home jobs."

The company's Website says it is actively recruiting and hiring individuals for Technical Analyst, NonTechnical Analyst and Customer Service Specialist positions. The application process involves completing a series of online tests, which they say takes from 45 minutes to an hour to complete (you do not have to complete the entire test in one sitting). If your experience and skill level matches their needs, a Human Resources representative will contact you about the next steps in the process, which can include an in-person interview at your home office - there is no need for applicants to travel.

I found no complaint record for J. Lodge in a Better Business Bureau search and saw no negative comments about them in a Google search, either. Ironically, some of the NTI material suggests that they refer workers to J.Lodge, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or not.

At any rate, I'm hoping that a new source for work at home jobs for the disabled has come forth. I'm very interested in hearing about your first-hand experiences with J. Lodge if you contact them, or if you are already working for them. I strongly encourage you to leave your comments here on this post or join in the discussion in the forum. I have created a new folder called Work at Home for the Disabled.

It's tough for anyone to find work at home, but the disabled have additional hurdles they have to face every day. I'm hoping to do a series on the topic of work at home jobs for the disabled in the future, so your stories, your experiences and ideas are most welcome!
