How can I find a reliable part-time remote job?
I'm currently working full-time in a medical office, but need to make extra income to support myself and my 2.5 year old daughter as I'm a single parent. I'm interested in remote work opportunities so I could potentially work evenings and/or weekends. I've completed 3 years of university and one semester of nursing school, but unfortunately don't have a degree. I have a strong background in healthcare as having worked in the emergency department in a hospital in the Houston Medical District amongst other jobs and I also have extensive knowledge of computer applications.

Considering your background in healthcare and strong computer skills, you might explore part-time remote opportunities in medical coding, medical transcription, or healthcare administration. Websites like Upwork, Indeed, or specialized healthcare job boards can be useful. Highlight your practical experience in the emergency department and your computer application skills on your resume or profile. Networking within your professional circles and online communities related to healthcare and remote work can also open up potential opportunities.

Have you considered online surveys to earn some extra income? I know it's difficult to find legit survey sites, but when I was searching for the same, I found 'Elite Survey Sites'. They list trustworthy survey panels and provide valuable insights into survey opportunities, which really helped me.
I’ve tried many paid surveys, and here’s how it went for me:
Branded Surveys – I earned $600 last month, working just a few hours per day. So far, this has been my top choice for survey panels.
Rakuten – I made $350 last month, dedicating about an hour each day.
Swagbucks – I earned $160 last month, but I noticed the offers here tend to be on the lower side.
Overall, paid surveys aren’t a scam; they can provide some decent extra income if you’re consistent, but don’t expect to get rich overnight. For me, I think surveys could potentially make up to $4,000 monthly, but only if you put in a full day’s work. Most people, however, tend to earn less because they only do it part-time.
Just remember, making extra money takes a bit of hustle. It’s all about finding what fits your skills and lifestyle, then putting in the effort to make it work for you!

Definitely highlight your medical and computer skills. Places like Red Cross have Help Desks where those answering for them work remotely.
Some places will let you work remotely and on-site for training.
As stated, be careful with your personal information.
All the best!!

Houcine- I reach out to you for more insight as I'm currently struggling to have any luck with obtaining a remote job. Although I have 3 years of college experience and not a full "undergraduate degree," I've been feeling limited as to what I'm eligible to apply for. With that being said, I'm interested to hear your opinion on how I can further portray myself as being a worthy candidadte for future opportunities. As always, thank you for your time.
