If you work from home, have the technical expertise, and have been waiting for a technical job then this might be the one.  It seems that they do offer a good selection of remote computer services.

How Can an Interested Applicant Apply to PlumChoice?

While PlumChoice hires remote computer technicians to work from home, the job itself is hired through a staffing agency.  I have seen these jobs advertised on Jobamatic, CareerBuilder, and Monster.  I would go to each one of these sites and open an account, set up job alerts and have them sent to your email address.

In the meantime, you can learn more about PlumChoice at their website.
