[Jobs] A note on work from home jobs.

[Jessica]

I am waiting to see if I get anything from live ops.  I just did their voice 
audition and submitted my application so hopefully something will come up. 
I've also got a little bit of scripting experience so if it's not too bad I 
might be able to make jaws work with software.
Cheers
Jess
