How To Find Legitimate At Home Work Jobs

Looking for Legitimate At Home Work Jobs

Searching for new at home work jobs on the Internet can be a bit confusing when you first start looking. You will see one job ad after another of which some look promising and others that sound too good to be true. There are tons of jobs working at home on the Internet, but you must gain the experience to differentiate between the real ones and the scams. The plain fact of the matter is, there are a lot of people pretending to offer valid at home work jobs and only want to take your money. Trust your instincts and if it does not feel right, do not submit an application or a resume, especially with personal information.

 

Step 1

Most of the jobs for working at home will require a resume and an application in some cases. Prepare yourself ahead of time before looking for at home work jobs with a new resume. You can find several samples on the Internet to give you ideas as to formatting, fonts and examples of what to include. Remember, your resume is a mirror image of you and your work experience. Hire a professional to make one for you if needed.

 

Step 2

Visit Internet employment sites such as Monster.com, Indeed.com and SimplyHired.com. This is a good way to get exposure to job ads and learn what types of at home work jobs can be done through the Internet. Each of these types of sites has a search field at the top of the home page where you can search for any kind of job by typing in keywords or phrases such as "writing job." Make sure you check off boxes for work at home or work from home to get the right type of job ads.

 

Step 3

When searching for legitimate at home work jobs, the forums and privately run websites and blogs will provide you with a wealth of information for job leads. Ratracerebellion is a nice site that has been around for years and posts job ads for writers, call center operators, typing and several other online jobs. It is usually current and well-maintained.

 

Step 4

The WAHM.com forum is a huge resource for many at home work jobs. The main forum is split down into individual forums for transcription, writing, selling candles, marketing jobs and so on. Threads about job opportunities are posted within each individual forum and then members often supply feedback about the job. This feedback is often invaluable. Sometimes, you can learn what a job pays, the company name, if they pay by PayPal and when they pay. Work Place Like Home is another fine forum that discusses many at home work jobs .

 

Step 5

Check out job-placement agencies for at home work jobs. Most are set up to take your resume and schedule an interview with you. They will discuss the type of position you are looking for and take notes about your work experience and history. Some of these agencies have recruiters seeking employees for specific at home work jobs. Some of these agencies do charge for their services, but normally the hiring companies pay any fees.

 

Tips

It is usually highly abnormal to have to pay any fees to get most Internet jobs. Job ads asking you for fees should raise red flags. If you are suspicious about any at home work jobs, take the time to research the company. Bring up the name of the hiring company in a forum and ask whether anyone has worked for them in the past.
