Local hospital systems have been hiring IT. Universities may be hiring.

Here is Forbes list of best work from home companies. I recommend you start with Liveops https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexandratalty/2020/01/14/work-from-home-2020-the-top-100-companies-for-remote-jobs/?sh=3fd7853a4196

If you choose to go with a temp job, keep looking for a permanent job. I've worked in contract positions and they don't offer affordable health insurance, holiday pay or paid time off other than sick time which they are legally required to provide. A lot of companies also treat their contractors like second class employees. For example, we weren't invited to the fall festival. That might not seem like a big deal but after a while, things like that get draining.

I cannot stress to you enough how important LinkedIn is right now in networking. Like it or not folks, it's like Facebook for work. I have had recruiters contact me directly about roles even though I did not indicate I was looking. Some tips, when you view someone on LinkedIn, they get notified, can you jump in front of someone's face in any other way???? :) There are a lot of hot topics on LinkedIn and a lot of ways to be 'visible'. I am not an expert but I feel like recruiters must get bored looking at resumes all day and like to click through profiles. Good luck!!!

Contact your local county and state governments 911 centers and public transit hubs!! Excellent employ, benefits, retirement...of course government never pays as well as private industries, however in return you get annual raises of 2%, 12 paid holidays, good retirements, vested in 5 yrs, they kept employs with paychecks during COVID working remotely, and best trade off for the higher wage, in my opinion, JOB SECURITY. GOOD LUCK! GOD BLESS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Alorca provides tech reps for Verizon. I would target a lead role.. The pay is not that great but training is paid and it might hold you over while you keep searching for the position that is right for you. Best of luck to you!

I would sign in with all temp or temp to hire agencies. Many of them have long term positions available and dome positions go permanent. Plus, it is money coming in while you continue your search. And, do not limit yourself to call in centers. Other areas need help as well. Also, check out hospitals, put your resume in. I did this, after being a legal secretary for years, and now have a position I love (not a legal secretary position) that I love! Bonus-it is two miles from my house, instead of forty, and the folks I work with are great!

Not sure of your background or experience, but you might also check out Jack Henry & Associates - they have openings for technical assistance positions and are currently 100% remote. Website: https://jackhenry.avature.net/careers/SearchJobs Good luck!

Have you been active on LinkedIn? I am having a lot of success on that platform.

I agree with Lesa, I would discover where you want to work. Search for companies hiring on this site, LinkedIn, Monster, etc. Pepsi is hiring, Facebook and Instagram are hiring. It depends on your skill set and where you would like to work. Obtaining a job is work but it is worth it. Building connections, include being able to get virtual introductions or your resume passed along.
