Work at Home Jobs

~ by Tammy Embrich

Work at home jobs are not for everyone. There are a lot of things to consider before you take on a telecommuting position. You need to look at your current work situation, your home lifestyle, your family's needs and schedules, and last but not least, your skills and experience. Your children will also need to be considered. Do you have little ones at home during the day? Have you taken the needed steps in making sure they are well cared for while you perform your online duties? Continued at right.....

Pleio's Good Start

Pleio is a company that offers a 100 day support system, Good Start, to people who are beginning a new medication regimen. It hires people to call program participants and offer them answers and reminders about their medication. The work lasts 8 to 12 weeks but can be repeated. Pay is per phone call but averages $15 to $20 per hour. Workers must commit to 15 or so hours per week, and there are some technical computer requirements. The first step in applying is to complete the short form. You will then take an aptitude test and make a mock call. If those go well, you will be invited to apply and do a phone interview. If hired, the company will train you about various medications, etc.

Work at Home Jobs, continued....

Above all, don't for a minute think that a real "job" online is easy peasy. It is NOT. It's just like brick and mortar. You have to work hard to earn your wages! Please keep this in mind when you start out with your journey for home employment.

You will need patience when considering (successfully) working at home, along with a good dose of reality. These are not chances of getting rich quick, as you've seen those promises from a host of scammy thieves, but honest ways to make money from home. If you are looking for some sort of set and forget type of thing, you are reading the wrong article, as they are not offered here.

You also need discipline when you work at home. When you telecommute, you work for someone else and most of the time, this means their schedule. Also do you know WHERE to look for these home based gems? Half the battle is won when you know exactly where to look. Also, have an open mind when searching. There are a lot of variations of positions that are legitimately offered. A few will offer paid training, although most will not. For some, you will need specific knowledge and skills. Keep that in mind when reading on the following sites.

Below are one dozen companies to start your search

* cloud10corp.com/index.php?home_career
* odesk.com
* liveops.com/
* hirepoint.com/athome/index.html (Teletech)
* vipdesk.com/info/
* apply.westathome.com/workfromhome.html
* workingsolutions.com/
* 1800flowers.com/
* smarthinking.com/static/aboutUs/careers/
* elance.com
* accoladesupport.com/techjob.html
* grindstone.com/work-with-grindstone.html

The work at home sites listed above are all legitimate, so you'll not have to worry about doing research for them. However, you WILL need to consistently check back with them to find out if they are currently hiring. Unfortunately, just because a site is legitimate doesn't mean they are always hiring. So, don't lose heart! Keep checking back. I suggest to check at least monthly, if not, weekly. You will also need to keep a careful record of which companies you've applied with. I find wordpad or notepad works well for me with staying organized with my information.

One Final Tip: Always keep a positive attitude. Successful people didn't get far with doubtful thinking. Keep looking and applying, then search some more. Also the list above is just one dozen, there are plenty more. Make Google a good friend and perform your searches from there.

Wishing you much success!

How to Avoid Work at Home Scams

How can you determine which work at home scenarios are genuine, and which are scams? We've got some tips to help you.

Never respond to unsolicited job offers sent to you in the mail or in an email. Of course, if you have registered online at a work site or sought info by mail or email, then that's a different story.

The best work at home jobs are ones you've thoroughly researched, asked questions about and gotten some firm facts and money info on. What do you want to do, or what can you do, if your career choice has turned to working at home? Decide that and then go in a guided direction.

You've heard the saying -- if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is? Opportunities that need no education or research or just plain hard work do not come along very often. Some work at home jobs, however, once they're set up, may be easier than others and almost run themselves -- online retail sites etc. are a few of these.

Never pay anyone to work for them. Legitimate jobs do not require upfront fees.

Do not send any money to receive those "golden opportunities" for work at home opportunities. These kinds of companies will take your money and run in the opposite direction. The same goes for pyramid schemes. Just what are the people selling or talking about? Get to the root of it all.

Freelancing is a solid way to go, depending on your skills. Usually, a freelancer controls everything and chooses what jobs they want. There are many freelance sites on the web so pick one that seems to have a lot of opportunities in your field, and a possible free try at it. If you have writing and graphics design and some other skills then this is an excellent way to get work.
