Last year was a big year for would-be telecommuters, according to job search site FlexJobs: from 2014 to 2015, the site found a 36 percent increase in job listings that offered some telecommuting option, either part- or full-time. If you’re hoping to make the transition to working from home this year, the company’s latest list will be of great interest: 100 Top Companies With Remote Jobs in 2016 ranks the employers that offered the most work-from-home jobs in 2015.

The top seven industries for remote jobs were IT, healthcare, sales, administrative, customer service, education and training, and marketing, FlexJobs said in a press release. Common job titles with remote working options include sales representative, writer, IT analyst, and interpreter/translator, among others.

I am amazed at these “please contact me” comments. Like you can just sit at home and someone will find you. And the one asking what qualifications are needed. Sorry folks, you have to get off your butt, do your research, make contacts, prove you are worth something. It’s part of earning a job. No one owes you anything, no one is coming to find you.
