Tips and tricks for finding work at home jobs.
Hello to all fellow home employment seekers.
I say "home employment seekers" because in one way or another
you find yourself reading this article because that is exactly
what you are trying to do. For whatever reasons.
Find home employment!
I empathize with all of you. I know all to well that finding
that perfect work at home opportunity can be like finding a
needle in a haystack. Thousands of hours researching. Countless
numbers of scams. Finally when you think you've found the
perfect opportunity you learn the position has already been
filled. Now your back where you started.
Dont lose faith. There are REAL work at home jobs out
there. Be aware though, alot of compeition is out there for
these positions. Most of the people I know who work from home
have spent alot of time researching and searching before they
found a position. Its safe to say you could be looking for as
long a 6 months to a year before you happen across
something.
The point is stay focused and dont take it personal.
The trend is growing and so should the opportunities.
Good news is the opportunity to work at home is real!
In this article I will share with you ideas, tips, and tricks I
have used to find real work at home jobs. I will also try to
help you lessen your risk of being scammed if you follow a few
simple steps. Click
Here to read my article on learning how to spot
scams.
The first Idea I had when I started to look for work at home
was:
Am I currently working in a position that I could do from my
home. I wasnt. However you may be. If you are my suggestion is
to put together a "game plan". Get all your i's dotted and your
t's crossed. Take your idea to the powers that be. Ask them to
give it a trial run. Maybe 1 day a week. Who knows they may like
the idea and it could lead to a full time gig.
The most common time wasting techiniques used to find work at
home:
Would have to be using search engines the wrong way! Being to
vague in our search queries. Wasting time sifting through
results you dont have to be looking at.
Alot of people dont really understand the power of search
engines. There are your more common ones like Google, MSN, And
Yahoo. These are the ones that index content from entire web.
But there are also ones that just index the content that is on
their site. These types can be found on sites like HotJobs,
Monster, and Careerbuilder. No matter where they are they are
very powerful tools. When used correctly they can greatly
increase your chances of finding legitmate work at home
jobs.
By using them correctly I mean:
Dont just type in the phrase work at home. Type in something
more specific to what you are looking for. Use this powerful
tool to your advantage.
For example:
When I want to find jobs for part time administrators I type
"Part time administrator" "work at home" in the search box.
Notice I have put quotes around the phrases I am looking for.
The quotes around the phrase tells a search engine I only want
results with that exact phrase. Word for word. This eliminates
alot of stuff I dont need to be looking through.
Previously I said dont just use the phrase work at home. There
are many other phrases you can use. I have taken some of the
more common ones and listed them below.
telecommute telecommuting must have home office independent
contractor 1099 work remotely virtual virtual office remote
contractor off site freelance
Now that you have narrowed down the words you will use to
search,
It is time to start looking! Right?
No! Not just yet, but almost.
Before you start searching you should be prepared to apply
quickly. Have a resume ready. For more information on resumes

Remember there are lots of people out there doing the same thing
you are doing. By having, and being able to provide your
information quickly, you are giving yourself a slight edge over
those who haven't prepared.
Now Its Time To Search!
There are many FREE places available for you to look for
home employment. Your local classifieds, online classifieds,
internet job banks, search engines, free work at home web sites,
and to many more to mention. The point is dont pay someone for
this information when you can find it just as easy and probably
a whole lot better than they can. The only cost to you is some
of your time over the next few months.
To help you along the way I have created a list of sites that I
use to find work at home job leads. If you would like to view
