Companies With Work at Home Holiday Jobs

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—such as West Virginia, Kentucky, Washington, North Dakota, New York, and Oregon—and the seasonal holiday jobs may not be available in all those states. Although most of the virtual positions are in customer service, there are also jobs with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and as a cloud architect and technologist. Most seasonable positions typically pay $10–$12 per hour, with the potential for bonuses if you work peak hours.

Apple at Home is a work-from-home call center program that hires both college students and non-students. Before the holiday season, Apple ramps up hiring for these part-time jobs in anticipation of the holiday rush. You can apply to be an At Home Advisor, At Home Team Manager, or At Home Area Manager. Current students can work as Apple Support College Advisors, which is part of the At Home Advisor team.

TaskRabbit is an online and mobile marketplace that connects freelancers and those looking to earn some extra money with local individuals who need extra help.
