Are you in a situation where you have an old, outdated computer — or even no computer — and you really need a work from home job?
If so, there are certain companies that will supply a computer and possibly other equipment for you if you are lucky enough to get hired.
Keep in mind that in most cases you are not going to own the computer you’re sent because they may not be exactly giving it to you.
Every company will have different terms in place, but most of the time you may be required to return the computer at the time your employment with that company comes to an end. Also, these companies are not always hiring.
Work From Home Companies That Send You a Computer
1 – Apple
Apple regularly has occasional openings for the “At-Home Advisor” work from home position.
If hired, they will send you an iMac to use for work. I have read SO many good things about this job and the pay! If you’re interested, you can read our review of work from home jobs at Apple, or go here to visit Apple’s site and search for openings.
2 – World Travel Holdings
World Travel Holdings has several work from home positions open throughout each year for travel sales, reservations, etc. They will send you a computer, monitor, mouse, keyboard, phone, and headset to use for working.
According to the website, “Refundable $500 deposit for a company computer and phone (deposit will be spread out over 5 payroll deductions).” So you pay for the computer although not all at once, and you can get it back.
