It is estimated that in 2022 about one third of all retirees will be working or actively seeking work. While it is believed that the main reason for this is financial need, there are other factors involved as well. Retirees who are single can often get very lonely and seek work as a social outlet. Others want to stay productively busy for both their mental and physical fitness. Then there are some who are actually looking to start a whole new second career.
However, for many seniors, it is not practical or advisable for them to have a job requiring regular commuting and staying in a crowded workplace. Thanks to the modern internet and software tools, working from home – also know as remote or virtual jobs – has become a common and accepted form of employment for all age groups including seniors. Listed below are some of the best work from home jobs for seniors after retirement.

Remote Call Center Jobs
All types of companies and organizations operate call centers to handle communication with their customers and clients. More and more of them are now operating remote call centers – where the workers work out of their home (remote) but are connected to the rest of the workers via the internet. In other words, you work physically by yourself, but you don’t work alone. For most of these jobs, you don’t need prior experience (many will train you) and these employers happily hire seniors.
There are three main types of these jobs: sales, customer service and customer / technical support. The modes of communication usually involve both inbound and outbound phone calls, emails and text messaging (chat). You also have the option of doing this kind of work as an independent contractor through an agency or as a direct employee of a company. In addition to the convenience of working from home, many of these jobs offer flexible work schedules and career advancement.
Teaching and Tutoring
If you have prior teaching experience or even just an advanced degree, there are many job opportunities available to teach or tutor online. Because so many school districts have incorporated distance learning (where the students learn at home via the internet) into their routine, there has been a growing need for online teachers. There are also many companies and organizations that hire online tutors, to service their clients who range from elementary age to university students. By passing a subject matter expertise test, you usually can get hired by one of these tutoring companies even without any prior experience.
Writer, Editor and Proofreader
Although it may appear that the internet (web) revolves around images and videos, it is written content that really is the ‘fuel’ for most web sites. This has created the need for many writers with all sorts of backgrounds and subject knowledge. Not surprisingly, the majority of these jobs are remote. With many of them, passing a writing and or knowledge test can often get you the job without any professional experience. If you do have real experience, then there are also remote editor and proofreader positions available.
Office Administration and Assistant
Many small and medium size businesses don’t operate out of an office or commercial location, but operate remotely. Thus, their staffing needs include hiring remote workers, especially for office work tasks. This includes secretarial work, typing, scheduling, organizing and even human resource and accounting duties. Most of these jobs do require some prior experience, but often are willing to train you in their specific requirements. A plus to these types of jobs is the good possibility for career advancement.
