How to Search For Work From Home

searching home jobs
I have written before about where to search for work from home, but not so much about how to search for work from home. There are several good job search sites you can utilize as well as some websites you can visit that regularly list home job leads.
Once you are on a job search site, you’ll need to put in some smart search terms to narrow things down to the home-based jobs. You can get super creative with this and even narrow it down to specific types of home-based jobs!
My two favorite searchable job boards that I use most every day are Adhuntr and Indeed. Adhuntr searches all of Craigslist and Indeed searches several major job boards at once, which honestly saves a lot of time for me because there are so many job boards out there.

How to Search

There are a number of different keywords you can type into the keyword field on both sites that will bring up primarily home-based jobs. You should type all of these keywords inside quotations so you’ll get only listings with that exact phrase rather than a variation of it. For example, if I type in work from home without quotes around it in the keyword box, sometimes I end up with listings that contain the words work and home, but not necessarily together, so this means it’s likely not a home job. This is why the quotations are so important.
If you are wanting to narrow down your search to something very specific like work from home transcription jobs or work from home writing jobs, you can type in “work from home” “transcription” together, both in quotes, or “work from home” “writing,” and your results will populate with listings that contain both phrases.
Also, note the date of the listings you get. When I’m on Adhuntr, I always tell it to sort by most recent or past month so I don’t end up with a bunch of expired listings. Indeed will also tell you how many days ago the listing was posted and you may notice at the top of the listing if the job has expired already.

Search Terms

Obviously, “work from home” is a great search term to use, but it’s not the only one. Not every company uses that exact phrase to describe their home-based jobs! Here is a big list of many search terms you should use to ensure you find as many work from home jobs as possible. And remember, type these all inside of quotations!
  • “work from home”
  • “work at home”
  • “work remotely”
  • “home-based”
  • “home based”
  • “virtual”
  • “remote”
  • “remote location”
  • “telecommuting”
  • “telecommute”
  • “work from anywhere”
  • “location: anywhere” (good to use on Adhuntr since they have a specific location field)
  • “location: remote”
  • “freelance” – (not all freelance jobs are work from home, but many are so it’s worth checking)
  • “work from home” + “freelance”
  • “virtual office”
  • “this is a remote position”
  • “working remotely from home”
  • “working from home”
  • “working at home”
  • “work offsite”
  • “offsite position”
  • “work may be done from home”
  • “work can be done from home”
These terms should get you off to a good start. Obviously you may not have time to go through each term (I know I don’t). But just experiment with the terms and see which ones tend to give you the best results and you’ll find you have some favorite, go-to search terms.

Watch Out for Scams!

It’s possible to run up on work from home scams no matter which job search site you use. The people behind these sites certainly have good intentions, but it’s simply impossible for them to weed out everything. This is why it’s always your responsibility to do your own research and investigate jobs carefully before applying or sharing too much of your personal information. I have a list of tips here for spotting work from home scams, or you can browse through the various posts I’ve written about specific scams here to learn more about each type.
