In today's job search, I found 5 interesting telework possibilities. Yes, that's "telework". I've learned from past experience you have to be open to the terminology that employers use when referring to work from home - especially if you want to find legitimate companies.
The term "telework" is most often used for U.S. government jobs. Aetna Insurance also uses the term, while United Health Group leans more toward "telecommute".
At any rate, here are 5 fresh opportunities to work at home (telework):

At any rate, here are 5 fresh opportunities to work at home (telework):
- Technical Writer (FrameMaker and RoboHelp) - Partial Telecommute - This is a long-term (estimated 12 months) contract with approximately 50% telecommuting available for someone who lives in the Hercules, CA vicinity, which is in the Bay Area north of Oakland.
- Business Analyst- (Telecommute) - Also a one-year contract for a firm in the Louisville, KY area, but there was no indication if you need to live in that vicinity to be considered for the job.
- Senior Project Manager (Telework from anywhere in the U.S.) - This is a permanent, salaried job opening from Aetna Insurance and it carries an annual base salary of $65,610 - $82,400. (Link removed. Position filled.)
- Senior Claim Representative - Property - St Louis, MO (Telework Considered)
- Regional Sales Manager - 2 Telework Positions Available - These are two home-based, salaried sales positions with considerable travel being offered by the Mayo Clinic. The only location requirement is that you live within your assigned territory, which, for one position is primarily California, Washington or Oregon and for the other is New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC.

I tried the Aetna job right away and its no longer available. Thanks for the updates!
