WORK AT HOME JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Finding Work at Home Jobs and Employment
Work at Home? For Real?

I'm
gonna let you in on a work at home secret that I have discovered after doing
years of work at home research and trying to make an extra income myself.
Work at Home JOBS are scarce!
There, I said it. Now....don't get all bent out of shape, or feel the need to
give up. When I was looking for work at home and a way to supplement my family's
income, I just decided to dedicate time each day to my search.
I ended up working as a chat room moderator, a writer and a web designer! How
did I find these REAL work at home opportunities? I searched and searched. I had
to take a test for the moderator job and I had to have certain office equipment
and programs on my computer. That was
certainly easy enough for me. The writer's
position was writing descriptions of places to eat, sleep and explore in the
city I live in. I simply applied to the ad with a
professional
resume, writing examples and highlighted the writing classes I
had taken in college. I also sent a personalized
cover letter expressing my genuine interest and qualifications.
I know for the most part, I'm singing to the choir here --most of us out there
working for work at home already know we need a GOOD resume and a personal cover
letter when responding to telecommuting or work at home positions. Salaries will
also depend on your qualifications. So make sure you're
as
ready as you can be. From what I've learned, most positions that
are done from home pay low wages. So...be prepared to make around minimum wage
and work part time hours.
For this reason, I decided to explore other ways to meet my financial goals.
With the jobs scarce and competition steep, I knew I needed to find multiple
streams on income and not just bank on ONE check.
This might be something you'll want to explore as well. There are fabulous home
businesses, with outstanding reputation and credentials. There are also tons of
ideas out there for starting your own work at home business.
If you would like to read more about my work at home plan in action, feel free.
Kelly's Work at Home Plan
Finding out what you want to do, can do and absolutely won't do --is where I
would start. That way you can weed through everything quickly. If you won't do
sales....then you know most "home party" type businesses are out for you.
(Although there are TONS of people with no sales experience at all making
$100,000 or more a year by doing direct sales!)
There are more job sites on the internet now than there have ever been. Look
through them ALL. Not just the big name ones, but the small more specified ones
too. You can also search geographically too! Do not limit yourself. I've kept a
list of job sites that I have used for over 3 years on the net. I add new sites
and delete ones that are no longer working. It's a fabulous list of over 150 job
sites! You can read more about this list:

Site List
Remember that the job of your dreams can be found. Just be realistic and
diligent. Your finances will benefit and so will you if you find a career or
position that fits you and your budget.
I'm always reading emails from other's that are job searching on the Net or
offering ways to find work at home. Recently I've had a few emails from people
that have used
HomeJobStop to research work at
home. They've been around since 1999. From their site: "Homejobstop
has been a worldwide leader in the work from home job market for the last five
years." There is a membership fee to access this site - but it's minimal.
A newer website on the scene is
LegitOnlineJobs. They are listed
with the BBB and offer a refund up to eight weeks after purchasing a membership
to their job database. From their site: "LegitOnlineJobs.com
has been established to provide individuals from around the world with the most
popular and rewarding work at home opportunities available on the web today."
Be wise when researching, and be open to all the tools out there. I remember
the first work at home job I got - I had never been so excited. It fit perfectly
into my schedule. My second child was only 1 at the time - so it was such a
blessing. That chat moderator job..... it didn't pay a lot and it was part time
- but it made the difference I needed to stay home. And trust me...I had been
close to giving up months before I got it!
Be good to yourself. Keep searching.
