I found a company called Troy Research and applied. I received 2 responses back, one thanking me for my interest, the second asking for a virtual interview. I am not sure if they are legit or not. Has anyone every heard of them or worked for them?
Troy Research is a real organization that offers legit opportunities to work from home. I would love to hear feedback from other SOHOjobs subscribers who have worked with them!

I was actually hired by them, but turned it down, due to a guaranteed number of hours per week from another employer...They seemed legit, the virtual interview and the spreadsheet skills test were pretty extensive. I also had a verbal interview at the time the job was offered as well.
