What places can I work from home between 10pm and 7am?

Asked by freckles (363points) January 25th, 2010

I need to get another job. But I already take classes and work from 9 am – 9pm every night. I cannot go get a job at a restaurant that is open late, because I don’t have a car, that is really what I am needing to work more to afford.

So my question is, are there any places I can work online that offers hourly shifts that would be late night/early morning?

I really appreciate all of your ideas!

If you’re working at home, they’re all 10–7 shifts, which is why you want to work at home.

Sorry, you failed the interview process for my company.

Consulting work involving clients on the other side of the world. That is what I’m trying to develop, if the depression will let up.

I have a third job with kgb_. Also, lots of people know of work for Amazon.com.

It is boring as shit, but a company called Pearson scores the standardized tests that are given statewide to the state school system’s students (e.g. all 10th graders in the Texas school system). They use what I think are called “distributed scorers,” which are basically people who score from home on their computer. You get calibrated on one question and score that same question over and over at $.05 to $.10 a pop, which generally works out to $10—$12 and hour.

You have to have a college degree. Scoring usually starts in April, but they might have something sooner.

@kevbo why the hell would you need a college degree for that?

kevbo's avatar

The company’s customers are state boards of education, and the work rquires an ability to evaluate short answer and essay questions according to that state board’s criteria. I suppose requiring a college degree creates a minimum guarantee of quality employees for the customer, and there certainly isn’t a shortage of underemployed college grads.

@kevbo ive met college grads who can’t spell.

Likely, they wouldn’t qualify, but most of work done doesn’t require or even assess good spelling. Other parts of the test might, but none of the ones I scored.

Supermarkets employ people to stock shelves and wash floors during those hours.
Doughnut shops need night bakers, and drive through attendants.
Schools need cleaners.
There is always work for security guards.

Do you have any specialized skills or training?
Is there public transit available to get you to and from work?

Customer service for HSN if you live in one of the right places.

You could try West Communications. They handle the calls to tons and tons of 800 numbers and infomercial orders. You will need to add another phone line at your house and put in for the hours you want.
