Home Job Searching
By Kelly Land, © 2005-2008, All rights reserved.
Home job searching can be frustrating. Lets face it, there are over 100 million
web sites out there claiming to be THE home job resource.
This is what I think.....
We all need to be pretty savvy when hunting for a home job and realize that the
jobs are few and far between and that it could take a long time to find the
position that you are A) qualified for, and B) pays enough
The best home job would be one that was created through your current job outside
the home. Your employer allows you to telecommute part time and eventually full
time. That would be ideal.
If that's not the case, or even a remote option -- then having a "freelance"
type position is a possibility. Writers and artists have been doing freelance
work for years. Do you fall into a category that would allow you to freelance.
Do you think there is a need for what your skills offer or can you obtain enough
of clientele to keep an income going on a monthly basis. I have friends that do
IT work that now work "freelance". They've acquired enough clients and jobs to
work from home and arrange their schedules the way they want to.
The options are endless if you have a skill that is in demand. Everything from
dog groomer to babysitter, tutor, real estate agent ... all have the power to
work at home with enough clients and marketing.
Now...if you're one of those folks that thinks the $40,000 a year job with
benefits is going to FALL into your lap and that it's going to be a cake job
that requires little effort on your part......well-- call me when you get it,
because something tells me it's like the Loch Ness monster....a myth.
Of course I would love to have jobs to just hand out to people that fit their
skills, pay well and that they will enjoy. But I don't. Shoot, I'd be working
one of those jobs if I could find one! The truth is -- I do several things to
earn a decent income from home. I write, I do web design, I
am a
Procard
Referral Rewards Associate, and I sell
AVON. I also just joined a
brand new company called
Barefoot Books. I love a ground
floor opportunity because they offer a real chance to build a business because
there are so few doing it at first. There are only 500 reps with
Barefoot Books right now - so it's an awesome chance to build
and grow with a company.
Another company I fell in love with - first by being a customer - was Tastefully
Simple. I had bought so many boxes of their fabulous Almond Pound Cake over two
years - I thought - I should just be a consultant for them! And now I am -
and I really love it. There are so many women (and men) out there that love
sharing recipes, and helping people find easy ways to prepare really delicious,
healthy food for their family and friends.
Tastefully Simple
I found that through the years when I did get an actual
"telecommuting" position like chat moderator or message board host, real estate
agent etc -- it just did not pay enough. The hours were few and the pay was less
than minimum. My degree is in Radio-TV-Film.....not medical coding,
transcription, art or teaching -- I had to find things that fit me, my
lifestyle, my family and my skills.
Now I have a "mixed" bag of jobs I love and that allow me to stay home. Am I the
mom that makes a million from home in just two hours a week?? Ummm....no? I've
seen many ads online claiming for this type of success --but I like to think of
myself as more realistic than that.

Don't get me wrong -- home businesses and the number of people in MLMs and
home party type sales are growing -- and many of them are making enough to quit
their real jobs and work at home. It takes patience and persistence. You have to
WANT it more than anything and LOVE the products (s) you're selling.
I don't claim to have THE website for finding working at home. I do have a great
site to use as one of the many tools you use in your hunt for work at home. I am
genuinely interested in work at home and all things related. My curiosity leads
me to much research and what I find I put here on my site.
I try to cover all areas of work at home. There is a section for
no fee
work at home jobs and
home business ideas and everything in
between.
Bookmark my site and use it as one of the many at your fingertips in your hunt.
You can also subscribe to my
weekly newsletter which I always put
telecommuting jobs in each week.
Every time I get an email or call from someone that found work or a home
business they love through my site -- it gives me inspiration to keep going and
keep digging. I encourage you to do the same thing. Don't give up, keep track of
what you find useful and always check back. Have your
resume
ready and your
cover letter.
Other programs that require no experience, and can really add up are

PayDay,
