Hi, I'm looking for a small (around 10h/w) part-time position that can be done online. (No adjunct teaching positions - this would violate the non-compete clause of my day job.) Are you aware of any good job databases specializing on (honest) telecommuting jobs?
Clark Howard has some links about legitimate work at home. Check out http://clarkhoward.com/topics/workathome_help.html
There are many legitimate job boards that list regular jobs like Monster.com, Vault and Career Builder. They even list the occasional telecommuting jobs. You can directly inquire to the companies listed on the job boards to see if they hire telecommuters. You would send a letter and resume directly to the human resource department or person listed in the ad via email. Another good source of telecommuting jobs is Craig's list which lists all types of jobs around the country by job category.
Please check out Monster.com, there are so many home and telecommuting jobs offered there, I am sure you'll find something interesting on the site. I found a home job on the internet years ago, was one of my favourite jobs so far.

Wow, I just noticed that I never said 'thank you' here. So...thanks a lot. I appreciate all your input.
Anytime. Here's another one I found at indeed.com http://www.teamdoubleclick.com/Current_Openings.html http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=virtual+representative&l=
"When researching Online Customer Service Jobs, you should be very careful. * Never pay any upfront fees. Real employers won't require you to do so. * You should also be careful about giving out your social security numbers due to identity fraud. Instead, consider becoming incorporated and using an EIN (Employment Identification Number). * To check the reputation of any potential employer, you should do a simple google search and also check with the Better Business Bureau or even the company's state attorney general's office to find out if there have been any complaints." http://www.teleworkexchange.com/default.asp Stay away from pay per click, pay to surf, pay per e-mail, pay to stuff envelopes, pay per commission sites, and mobile pay programs.
