    The holidays are crazy enough as it is, but if you can work at home for the holidays, that could simplify life. But to make that a reality, you've got to start looking for work in the fall.

    Many home-based call centers hire for holiday seasonal jobs. However, don't wait too long. Most companies that do hire for the Christmas holiday season start taking applications in August or September. Because of the need for a large workforce for the holidays, seasonal workers are often afforded less flexibility in scheduling, which may mean evening, weekend and/or holiday work. They are usually temporary workers without benefits. However, some companies may hire more permanent employees at this time as well.

    The companies listed below often hire for holiday seasonal jobs, but there is not a guarantee they are hiring this year or at this time. Click on the company profiles for details about how to apply, salaries and hours.

    Amazon.com

    The holiday season is a big time for this online retail giant, which hires some of its customer service reps as home-based agents. Amazon only hires work-from-home agents in certain states (WV, KY, WA, ND, NY, and OR are among them) and the holiday seasonal jobs may not be available in all those states. Search "work from home" in Amazon's job database. Jobs pay $10-12/hour. Bonus for working peak hours may be available.

    Apple at Home

    Apple at Home is a work-at-home call center program from Apple that hires both college students and non-students. Prior to the holiday season, Apple ramps up hiring for these part-time jobs in anticipation of the holiday rush. Students must be enrolled in the college from which Apple recruits (see profile for colleges). Use the keyword "home" in the company’s job database.

    Intuit

    Intuit's seasonal jobs are a somewhat different season than most of the jobs on this list since tax season gets into swing after New Year's. However, it begins the hiring and training process for its certified public accountants (CPA), enrolled agents (EA) and tax attorneys, who support TurboTax products via phone, chat, and email and provide written summaries of tax solutions to customers, in the fall.

It includes a pre-interview screening with a technical skills test, voice audition, and phone interview. Bilingual skills a plus; languages include Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

    TaskRabbit

    Although this one is a bit different from the others on this list in that a lot of the work would be done outside the home, short tasks like those offered on this site are in more demand during the holidays.
