One of the things you might not realize at the beginning of your search for a work-at-home job is that some companies hire remote employees only from specific states. Often these states are where the company already has a physical presence, which is an important tax consideration.
If you live in the Lone Star State and are looking for a flexible schedule or an at-home job, there are plenty of companies for you to choose from. Some do have specific location requirements, wanting you to live within a specific distance from the corporate office. Others just require you to be a full-time resident of Texas.
Be sure to read the job descriptions carefully to make sure you qualify before applying. Also, check for any on-site training that might be required. Some companies require you to complete their training program at their location before you’ll be able to work from home. And many jobs require you to have a set schedule, not set your own hours.
If you’re ready to ditch the commutes and take the leap find to a remote job, these ten companies may be your best bet because they’re frequently hiring people to work from home in Texas.
1. Apple
Are you enrolled in college at a major Texas university? If so, there’s an at-home position for you at Apple. To qualify, you must be enrolled in a participating university, be able to participate in six to nine weeks of online training, and be available to work three days a week in the evenings as well as on weekends and holidays. Depending on your college course schedule, this could be a great job for your off-hours.
To find these positions, go to the Jobs at Apple website and search for AppleCare College. You’ll see a list of available positions, sorted by the specific college.
2. The Disney Store
Can your love of Disney help you get a paycheck? The Disney Store often has available positions for Guest Services Representative – remote work positions. You must live in Texas to apply. This position allows you to help make Magical Moments come true for Disney guests, by providing superior phone support.
To find this position (and potentially other work-at-home opportunities in the future), visit their website and search for “Work from Home” positions, and put “Texas” in the State/Province filter.
