These tough international economic times can wreak havoc on a small town, or really any town’s individual local economies, making things almost impossible on the finding a job front. But as long as you have some sort of tech skill certification, it’s very likely that there could be real work at home opportunities for you. With which you can turn your personal computer into an office, making yourself available to thousands of companies the world over, all interested in your unique skills. Which is where eBay inspired job sites like oDesk and Elance come into play.
Through both oDesk and Elance you have the opportunity to set up a unique provider profile, complete with your resume, work history, and accolades. This in turn aides in making the job hunting process as easy and quick as possible, as you then use that provider profile you’ve created to apply to as many jobs within your industry as quickly as possible. All over oDesk and Elance are real companies looking for professionals in graphic design, data entry, encoding, website content contribution, and even blogging and technical writing. All with only one requirement, that being you have some sort of actual qualification to represent that you are indeed a professional in your industry.
Meaning if you were already doing some sort of computer work and find yourself out of a job, given the global credit crunch, oDesk and Elance should at least be able to provide you a substantiating in between job income. Not to mention all that from the comfort of your own home, and the added availability to apply to jobs either hundreds of miles away, or even on entirely different continents. Imagine how that will spruce up the experience portion of your Resume for when you apply another job, or you could find yourself never again needing to, as oDesk and Elance gives you a fantastic opportunity to become your own freelance boss.

This is a great option. I am somewhat familiar with the two sites you mentioned, and there are a lot of different jobs on both.
Browse through the listings from the comfort of your own computer, then choose the ones that you are qualified for and interested in.
If you are chosen, you will get to work on something you enjoy, plus have the flexibility and freedom of working from home.
It sounds like a great solution!
