Work At Home Vintage Employees (WAHVE) is a site for professionals "phasing" into retirement who work from home for insurance firms.

That said, be especially careful on Craigslist because anyone can post a job opening.

Visit the websites of professional organizations in your field to see whether the site has a job board or links to other sites that post relevant jobs.

To find local job boards in your area, search the Internet for your city, state or county, followed by "jobs." For example, DCJobs.com caters to job seekers in Washington, D.C.
