These Companies Will Send You Equipment When You’re Hired
If you want to work from home but either don’t have a computer, or your computer is outdated, don’t give up. Several companies actually send equipment to you after you have been hired.
Just keep in mind, you’ll have to high-speed, hard-wired internet BEFORE you apply for the job. In some instances, you’ll also need a regular landline telephone.
Make sure you read the requirements before you apply. Most companies won’t even interview you if you don’t already have internet service. You won’t be able to tell them that you’ll get service if you’re hired.
If you’re serious about the job, it’s better to go ahead and have the service hooked up beforehand than to miss out on getting hired.
