I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday/Election Day. (I don't know about you, but I'm seriously ready for this one to be over with and to stop hearing constant political bickering!)
Anyway, I've got a few minutes today to do some searching so here are some of the more interesting jobs I'm finding.
As always, if you apply for any of these and they turn out to be scams, please let me know ASAP. I don't want to promote deceptive people/companies!
Thanks!

The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to work independently with the utmost of professionalism, integrity, and dependability. S/he will be confident and organized and will know when and how to reach out for assistance. Your mission – should you choose to accept it – is to solve problems, answer questions, and resolve concerns presented by our Amazon customers.

Remote employees are still just as plugged into Higher One’s culture.

Tamara M. has worked for Higher One for over four years, and despite never having set a foot into corporate headquarters, feels like a true part of the family.
Tamara’s Top Three Favorite Things About Higher One
- Integrity: Higher One cares about the people they work with. “I am really particular about what I do, where I work and I wanted to work from home, so it really narrowed down my choices. I liked their integrity and as a former teacher, I liked the idea of working with students.”
- Work/Life Balance: Tamara and her husband both work part-time from home for Higher One. Their schedules allow them to be active in their church and neighborhood activities, and to enjoy lunches together on their patio during the workday! “There’s a lot of flexibility – it’s a good job for people that want to slow down but still are used to a challenge.”
- Old-fashioned customer service:Higher One puts a lot of emphasis on giving stellar service , no matter what the customer is saying or doing. “My favorite thing is taking the calls with regular students – good old customer care, I love it! We put a lot of focus on being people of integrity, and that’s really important to me.”
