Working Virtually

Businesses, especially small companies, are increasingly turning to virtual employees for part-time work, which spells good news for at-home women (and men) looking for work. Inc. magazine has a recent article detailing the rise in virtual workers, "Needed: Part-Time Help, Location: Anywhere."

The article pointed out that in "a 2010 survey of 330 U.S. employers by Right Management, a talent and career management consulting firm, found that 45 percent of businesses are increasing their amount of virtual workers."

Many of the part-time virtual positions revolve around social marketing and social media work. Some companies acting as the middlemen for virtual employees and companies looking for such workers include Urban Interns and Evirtual Assistant.

Check out these unique opportunities but be sure to investigate the company with the Better Business Bureau before handing over personal information or starting work.

Until next time,
