Assembly and packaging homework.

Ok, I have trawled through this forum but still can't find an answer to my question. I want to work from home doing homeworking such as packaging, picking, gluing and assembling. I did alot of this as a kid and young adult but really need to do some more now. I have seen all the web based work from home oppertunities but would really prefer to do this instead. Any help on how to find these kind of jobs? I have spent hours on google today!!
Thank you.

    I'm interested in doing this as well. A few years ago there was a lot about the way some of them were run and not paying out, there were also a lot of scams associated with this. Im wondering if now there are any legit places out there that do this sort of thing.

    I doubt you will find much work like that, but if you do make sure you don't pay any money for it. There's a lot of scams out there!

    Mostly the scam sites charge you a joining/registration fee, just to show you are serious, which they promise you will make back when you complete your first batch of work.

    Once you have paid, one of two things usually happen.

    1. They just never send you any work
    2. They send you a small sample to complete, to make sure you can do it right. But no matter how good a job you do, it will not be good enough.

    Lots of years ago now I used to pack screws into bags for a local company, I doubt they would advertise on the web, although maybe these days on their own website. Perhaps it's more about contacting local companies, as I used to go and pick up the work myself then return when finished.
