Jobs That Aren't Conducive To Telecommuting


There are many positions that can be done by telecommuting from home, but there are some jobs out there that aren't possible to telecommute with. Here are some of those jobs that you won't see anyone doing from their own home anytime in the near future:

Notary Public - A Notary public's main job is to witness signatures on legal type documents. The documents would have to be taken to a designated point where they would witness someone signing the appropriate papers for authenticating reasons. Having individuals come to your home to sign the documents isn't professional and can alter the authentication process of the legal papers.

Interior Designing - While some of the work could be done at home like creating designs on the home computer; most of the work would have to be done onsite as measurements would need to be taken and other considerations would need to be done. There would be visits to stores to find the necessary items for the design project. Very little of the work could be done at home.

Hotel Hospitality - This is a position that is better suited doing onsite. It's more of a meet and greet type of position. While there is phone work involved, a lot of in-person tasks would be performed as well.

Real Estate Agent - This type of job involves a lot of computer and phone work, but there needs to be some visiting of homes and businesses in order to make the sales. Prospective buyers can view pictures of the place on a website or call an agent for details, but they will want to see the properties in-person before making a decision. The agents will also need to visit the places that sellers want to put on the market to check for readiness of sale.

Person to Person Sales Positions - There are some sales jobs that can be done from home as long as they are done by computer and phone. The person to person sales jobs need direct contact with the potential customers, which can't be done in a home based office.

Court Reporter - This is a position that is performed in a court room as the proceedings are being done. This is not to be confused with the scoping careers that people work from home helping the court reporters with transcribing files.

Computer Repair/Technicians - This type of work involves direct contact with a user's computers in their homes or places of business. Sometimes the evaluation of the problem includes checking out existing wires in the home or business, so this job isn't suited for telecommuting.

Take a look at each job position out there that you come across and see what the work tasks are for that position. Could they be feasibly done from a home office or do you think they're best suited for onsite work.

Types of Telecommuting Positions - Part Two


In the first article we talked about a few types of telecommuting positions. That article only skimmed the surface of what's really available to you.

Here are a few more options to consider when doing your telecommuting job search:

Help Desk

Help desk kind of goes along the lines of customer service agent. The main difference is the help desk focuses their help on a certain aspect of the company. For example, one could be helping customers with software issues, computer problems or a particular product problem.

This kind of position would require you to have some experience in whatever part of the job you would be helping with. Knowledge in that area would also be important for this position. There are some companies that will hire someone with little or no experience and train them on what they need to, but they aren't seen as often.

Web Designer

If you have any on the job experience designing websites or if you have done some well-crafted sites for yourself or friends, then this could be an option for you to look into. Web designing is always needed with someone online.

Everyday websites are going up and the people who own these site domains need a well designed place to put their content. Most of these people know that a high quality site will bring them closer to success than a poorly crafted one, so they will find someone who can help them out.

There are many companies who will hire a team of designers to work on their clients' sites and there are others that will hire someone to work on their own sites. You will need to have good designing software or tools to be able to get one of these jobs, should you feel you would like to try your hand at it.

Virtual Assistant

A virtual assistant who basically performs administrative duties from their home office. They can perform several types of duties, such as data entry, customer service, bookkeeping, web designing, writing, telemarketing, sales and transcription. Not all virtual assistants do the same duties, as each company has different needs.

If you can do some basic administrative duties, you can still get a position as a virtual assistant. You may not be paid as much as those who can do more skilled jobs, but it gives you a chance to hone your skills to gain more experience for the higher paid virtual assistant jobs.

These are some of the more common types of telecommuting jobs available. The list, of course, goes on to include several more. Jobs like, data entry, graphic artist, web developer, accounting, writing, and proofreading.

Before you start to look for a telecommuting position, you should take a look at yourself and see what skills or experiences you do have. When you know which type of position works for your skill set, then you can narrow your job searching down to that type of job, instead of just looking at hundreds of job ads trying to decide what to do.

Telecommuting Job Idea: Legal Document Coder


Legal document coders provide a very specialized service for law firms. They organize the legal documents to make research easier for the lawyers. By using databases to organize things, the information can be found quickly, allowing more time to be dedicated to the case at hand.

Where to find a job as a legal document coder: There are many companies that offer document coding that may hire freelance workers. You could contact law firms in your area, especially smaller law firms, who may need occasional help.

Skills you need: You need to be able to do Objective Coding (a basic index of each document, including dates, author of the document, recipients, type, title, where stored) and Subjective Coding (includes keywords from the document itself for searches). If you have some basic knowledge of the law, it is helpful. Some companies only want to hire entry-level lawyers or paralegals, so they have a better understanding of the documents.

You should be able to learn the filing system that each law firm uses quickly, so you can step in and do the job efficiently. You should also be aware of the various styles of indexing that can be applied to the documents, including inventory, bibliographic, and detailed indexing.

You should have excellent typing skills (40 WMP or better) with high accuracy. You should be able to read quickly and accurately as well.

Tools you need: A reliable computer and internet connection are necessary if you will be working from home. A printer, scanner and fax are useful tools for transferring files to the law office. But, since many of the documents may be confidential in nature, they may have to send them through the post office or other delivery service. You should have a standard word processor and database programs. Some companies may have a preferred program that you may have to purchase.

How much money can you make? Depending on skill and experience, you could make upwards of $9 an hour.

Using Keywords to Find Legitimate Telecommuting Job Leads


Many people are choosing telecommuting as an option to bring in an income while being at home. Whatever the reasons that we choose to work at home, the one thing we all have in common is the problem of locating legitimate jobs online. We often come online with the idea that finding a job online will be easy.

Unfortunately it’s not usually that easy. What you will often run into are the scams for working at home. Why is that though? We often find the job search websites and plug in two common keywords. These two keywords are often the reason many of us give up on finding a legitimate job because all that pulls up are the scams.

The keywords I’m speaking of are:

•Work at home

•Work from home

--> With the keywords “work at home,” you’re almost 100% guaranteed to pull up scams or business opportunities, and not the legitimate jobs. Now don’t get me wrong, there can be legit jobs in these keywords. Iit takes much longer to find them, and it’s much harder to locate them. In my 4 plus years of working at home, I’ve discovered lesser used keywords that yield me much better results.

Popular Keywords:

•Telecommuting

•Telecommute

•Telecommuter

--> These three keywords are second to “work at home” in their popularity. A pro of these keywords is that many leads will be listed with them. I find legitimate job leads using these keywords every time I search with them. I also find the scams, but overall these keywords are great to use with your job search.

7 More Keywords to Use

•Must have home office
•1099
•IC or independent contractor
•Virtual office and virtual
•Remote contractor
•Off-site
•Freelance

--> Next on the list are these 7 keywords. Next to telecommuting, these are my favorite. Often they will pull up legitimate jobs. You won’t always find a good variety of leads all the time. Sometimes the deeper you dig, the better the jobs and the better your chance that hundreds of other people haven’t found that same job.

Last 3 Keywords to Try

•Must have DSL
•Home-based
•Home-based employee

--> Last, I use these 3 keywords when finishing up my job search. I don’t always find leads with these keywords on every job search site I go to, but the more job search sites you go to, the better your chance you’ll find leads with all these keywords. You can find a list of over 25 job search sites at [http://www.mommysplace.net/work_at_home_job_sites.html]

Basically, the more keywords you use and the more job sites you go to, the better your chance at locating legitimate job leads. Even if it takes you a few hours a week to do your searching, with all the keywords and job search sites, it’s worth it in the end if you land a job!

Another thing to keep in mind for speeding up the job search is to know what a scam looks like so you can avoid it. I’ve gotten to the point where I can usually just read the title of the “job” and know right away it’s a scam. If I do click in a job lead, within a few seconds I can determine if it’s a scam or sketchy. I wasn’t able to do that when I first started out in the telecommuting field, though. In my time of being scammed and reading others being scammed, I discovered the common scams and the common red flags. Read more about scams, red flags, and links to research scams at [http://www.mommysplace.net/work_at_home_scams.html]

In closing, I’d like to say that using these keywords is a good start. When you find legitimate jobs, really search through the description and see what keywords they use. When you find a new keyword, jot that down and add it to your keyword list. The more keywords you use, the better your chance of finding and landing a legitimate job!

Happy Job Hunting!

Finding and Becoming a Telecommuting Employer


Telecommuting is the term coined by an American, Jack Nilles in 1973. It is also called as e-commuting or e-work or tele-work or work-at-home. Telecommuting is a work arrangement where employers take advantage of the various technological advances and enjoy limited flexibility in working hours and working location. It is a broader term referring to substituting telecommunications for any form of work that requires travel, which consequently eliminates the distance limitations of telecommuting. Some work from home while others use mobile telecommunications technology to work from any location. All telecommuting employers work for tele-workers but not all tele-workers are telecommuting employers.

The motto is 'work is something you do, and not something you travel to.' A successful telecommuting program needs a management style which is mostly based on results and not on a close inquiry of a telecommuting employer. Most legitimate telecommuting companies do not charge you to work for them rather they will pay you for your work. The only exception would be a freelancing company which will take a fee from both you and the employer as a part of the agreement. The fee is usually very small, around 5% of the total budget, and considering that you don't have to travel to work, and you pay no immediate income tax on your earnings, this is a very small fee indeed.

One option for starting your own online business is to become a telecommuting employer. These are people who hire others to work on a team, and then bid on projects on freelancing websites. As long as onedoes his job well, he will have a guaranteed paycheck, as they control all of the terms of the agreement, from the amount of the bid to the salary of their employees. Telecommuting jobs allow you to work on your own schedule but with the given tasks and responsibilities.

The greatest disadvantage to a telecommuting employer is that they work for someone else and their job stability is dependent on their companies. Another disadvantage is that the competition among them is very high. Many companies are very choosy and the pay is based on their terms.

Today, there are many obstacles to overcome to get a good job. Many skilled workers are not able to get to the place of work due to family situations or physical disability. Telecommuting employers are very lucky to hold this job as they can choose to work where they want. Telecommuting jobs provide great opportunities for one parent homes or for homes where only one parent can work. Some work places do not have the facility to accommodate handicapped people, for those people telecommuting work gives them security and they can earn from where they live.

Telecommuting employers were in the past proved their job to be very difficult due to lack of technology. But nowadays, it is easy to become a telecommuting employer because of the advancement in technology and internet and working from home has been made easier and more convenient.

Have a Plan Before Proposing Telecommuting to Your Boss


Everyday people think about how great it would be to work in the comfort of their own home and at their own pace instead of commuting to work. For mothers, how they wish to have the option to work at home to spend more time taking care of the family. For people who feel that their personal lives are out of balance due to their hectic working schedule or simply sick of the grind, telecommuting is seen as the answer and the only option in their desire to work at home.

Proposing an off-site arrangement at work is actually possible with your boss, but there are a lot of factors that need to be considered for somebody to be given the chance to telecommute. Before giving the telecommuting proposal, make sure in your heart that you are a good candidate for telecommuting. Often, bosses approve such proposals only to employees who have already proven their worth in the company, shown the right work disciplines and have served the company well for quite some time.

All successful telecommuting proposals take a great deal planning. Once you have finalized all your terms, it's time to give your boss the big news. Here are some of the strategies that you can use when planning and presenting a proposal:

1. It would be best to give both a written proposal with an oral presentation. This way, your telecommuting proposal becomes comprehensive. The presentation means to enlighten your boss about certain things that are included in your proposal, enabling him to absorb some important points about your proposal, giving him the opportunity to raise questions as well as objections.

2. When doing a proposal, make sure that you focus more on how your proposal benefits your employer and not yourself. Never focus on how well it would serve your needs. Avoid mentioning your need for more time with the kids or any other personal reasons; discussions must only revolve around the job. Your proposal must be telling something about how it can help you become more efficient and productive, and how well it would benefit your employers and the company that you are working for.

3. Telecommuting proposals are the best time to brag about your work accomplishments. Touting your value to the company as well as your traits as a great worker may help you get an approval.

4. Propose a trial period during which your bosses will determine whether or not you are more efficient doing telework. It also gives your bosses an easy way out of the deal. Just make sure that you perform well during this period for it will make or break your chances of becoming a telecommuter.

5. Present accountability measures. Employers are mostly anxious about telecommuting because of fear that you become unproductive when no one is watching over you at work. Lay out a work outline and schedule when he can check on you from time to time. Make sure that your boss knows that you are reachable and flexible; give him or her your phone, fax, pager, cell-phone numbers and e-mail addresses to convince them that you have all the necessary work equipment installed at home.

When giving your proposal, be sure that you are prepared to answer questions. Expect that your bosses will be looking out for reasons why not to approve your proposal. Using these tips can help you convince them to do otherwise.

The Pro's and Con's of Telecommuting - As Seen Through The Eye's of a Seasoned Telecommuter


Janelle Delacorte has been happily answering calls for the Home Shopping Network and various infomercials since November 2004.

Several nights out of the week she tucks the kids in to bed, turns around, takes 20 or so odd steps, and arrives at the office. In her pajama's, no less.

Janelle is a telecommuter.

According to the 2004 ITAC American Interactive Consumer Survey, she's one of 24.1 million people who is employed by a company, and works from home. And as you can imagine, she loves her job.

In a recent interview she confided with me about the pro's and con's of telecommuting.

Pro's:


Working at home - especially if you have children. Janelle has a 1 and 3 year old. Having the kids at home with her has saved their family tens of thousands of dollars in day care costs.

"I was a latch key kid growing up, and that's not something I wanted for my children," she says. "By working at home I've been able to see them pass all of their major milestones, and I'm very grateful for that."



Being able to choose your own hours.
The company Janelle works for routes calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even better, she can work in 30 minute increments, not a straight 8 hour shift as you would in a traditional office.

This enables her to work while the kids are asleep. And even if she wants to squeeze in a 1/2 hour during their nap time, she can do so.



Not having to commute.
Los Angeles - where Janelle lives - has the worst rush hour traffic in the United States, according to the American Automobile Association. Not to mention some of the highest gas prices.

Janelle's family has saved over $200 dollars a month by eliminating her daily commute to the office.



Not having to invest in office attire.
With two toddler age children, and a new car, Janelle's family expenses expanded dramatically in the past 3 years. However with a cut in certain expenses, like office clothes, they've been able to allocate that money to their newest bills, without feeling overwhelmed.


Con's:


Voice strain.
If you're not accustomed to talking continuously for long periods of time, you might find your throat hurting for the first week or so until your body adapts.

"When I began answering calls for the infomercial people I had to read a relatively long script, depending on the product being sold. Those first few days were murder on my throat," says Janelle.

Her solution was to keep a warm cup of tea nearby, as well as a glass of room temperature water with lemon.

"It's very important to keep your throat hydrated with the right things, or you'll lose your steam very early on," she advises.


The pay can be volatile for those who are new to the game. Janelle get's paid anywhere from $.17-$.27 per minute when she's on the phone with a customer. So if you choose a slow period, you could literally make less than a dollar an hour.

"When I first started with HSN I would have really busy times when I'd be on the phone for almost the entire hour. Then there would be times when the phone would ring 1 or 2 times," she says.

"Now before I book my hours I look at what's going to be selling during that time frame. Some items just attract a lot more buyers. So I schedule my work time around those hot sellers, and my checks have been getting consistently better."

She advises workers in her field to keep a diary of what's selling when they work, so they'll know where the most calls come from.


Not having a separate worklife away from home.
Janelle says she sometimes misses the adult companionship and change of pace that an outside office provides.

"Yes, I sometimes long for a little watercooler banter," she laughs. "But when I can roll out of bed, put on my headset and start work anytime of the day or night, I realize that I still have one of the best jobs in the world."





Alexis Dawes is the author of "The Telecommuter Job Report," a quarterly updated e-report that highlights companies hiring telecommuters on a regular basis, and interviews with real, working telecommuters.

Jobs That Will be Better for Part-Time Telecommuting


Telecommuting jobs come in two different types. The ones that you work from home the entire time and the others that have you work part-time at home and part of the time at the work site. The Part-time telecommuting jobs are ones that will be local to you. Here are some types of telecommuting jobs that work better for Part-time telecommuting:

Paralegal - This is not always considered a telecommuting type job, but some employers allow for part of it to be done at home. Because this job entails filling out private sensitive information, the documents used in these purposes, aren't allowed to leave the site's premises.

Human Resource - Phone and paperwork duties can be done from a home office, but there will be face to face meetings that will have to be done on site for the company. A recruiter generally finds people to hire, so oftentimes you will see that as a total telecommuting job, but human resources deals with more than just hiring and firing. They are what keep the company's team together.

Social Work - This is much like the human resource position. This job has duties that can be performed from home, but will require some face to face meetings with those you represent and also with service providers that will be helping your clients.

Sales - Those who sell products to local businesses will have to make visits to those companies. The phone calls and the necessary paperwork could be done from the home office. There can also be weekly or monthly meetings with other employees and management for the company.

Mystery Shopping - Some companies will hire people to evaluate certain businesses and their customer service qualities. Most of this job will be done at the requested business site, so that one can evaluate their service as a shopper there. The phone evaluations and the reports that you would fill out based on your visit for that particular day, are usually done from home.

Auto Appraiser/Claims Adjusters- There are several duties that these jobs have that could be done from your own home office, but there will be on site visits to do the vehicle appraising. In a lot of cases you may be traveling quite far to evaluate certain vehicles.

There are many positions that could actually be done completely from home, but the company that hires the employee chooses to make it a part-time telecommuting and part-time on site position. Those that make that decision usually do it because they want the part-time face to face contact with the person they hired for that position.

This enables them to keep tabs on that employee and allows them a level of comfort knowing that there's sufficient enough communication between them to ensure completion of necessary projects. Each company will be different in how the position will be performed, so you will want to ask before taking on a job with them.

Job Lead Websites To Use in Your Telecommuting Search


Let me ask you a question: are you tired of

using job sites only to find scam after scam? I bet you're nodding

your head in agreement to that question. I know that I was sick

and tired of spending all my time online searching for

telecommuting jobs only to find scams. Any type of free job site

is going to have a few scams, but some sites have more legitimate

jobs than others, and some are easier to use than others.

There is one job site that I enjoy, have found the most legitimate

jobs from, is the easiest to search through, and has a good variety

of jobs. This site is http://www.craigslist.org/. If you've never

used this job search website, I would start using it today!

What makes it such a superior job lead website? Well, let

me tell you what I personally like about it. I like that there is

an option to search telecommuting jobs only; not too many job sites

have this option built into the search feature. You simply go to

whatever city you want, select whatever category you want, and

click on the telecommuting option. Then, it pulls up the

telecommuting jobs! It's sooooo easy!

I also enjoy that there are so many great categories, and there are

some really diverse categories. If you're looking for jobs in

administration, biotech, writing, teaching or many others, you can

find them at http://www.craigslist.org/.

I also enjoy that there are so many cities and countries to search

through. If you're searching for Canadian telecommuting jobs,

there are options to search that country. If you're looking for

telecommuting jobs in Ireland, there is an option to search that

country and many other countries as well. Plus well over 30 US

cities!

To find the best results, I go to http://www.craigslist.org/ and

start with the first city, Albany, and start with the first

category, accounting and finance, and then start searching through

every city and category! Sounds simple right? It is simple, but

you need to stay committed to looking for jobs everyday.

Telecommuting jobs go fast, so searching everyday at Craigslist.org

will be your best bet. You need to jump on the jobs the day they

are listed. Is this going to take time on your part? Of course,

but if you're serious about working at home, you will find the time

to search everyday for jobs.

Craiglist.org is one of the easiest job search websites I've found,

and it's one that I go to in order to find legitimate leads from

every single day! My husband has even started using it to find

offline jobs in our area.

I have other job search websites that you can try out listed on my

MommysPlace site. I haven't used all of the websites on this list,

so please know that I can't vouch for them all or tell you if they

are the best to use. You should try as many as you want in order

to decide which ones work best for you.

[http://www.mommysplace.net/work_at_home_job_sites.html]

Now get out there and get searching! I wish you the best with your job search.

Could Your Current Job Be Suitable For Telecommuting?


You may or may not realize this, but sometimes it's better to consider taking your existing job home with you rather than perform an all out search for a new telecommuting job.

Your existing employer knows your work ethic and this can be to your advantage when attempting to convince them to allow you to telecommute.

However, not all jobs are suitable for telecommuting. And this article will focus on that. Distinguishing what jobs are suitable for telecommuting will help you determine if your current job is a prime candidate for this type of work environment.

How many hours out of your workday are spent working on projects alone? If you perform a type of job where you are trapped in one area for an extended period, this could be a job for taking home. That's why typing, computer programming, designing, reporting, writing, data entry, engineering, designing all are decent candidates for teleworking arrangements.

But even if your job involves this type of work, you must consider whether your job requires large amounts of interaction with other employees or your employer. While, everyday technology is advancing to make this less and less of a concern, it should be something taken into consideration.

Video conferencing and other methods of distance communication our advancing so everyone can easily take advantage. Right now, the necessary hardware, software, and connection speeds to do this efficiently aren't available to everyone at a reasonable price.

In the near future, you can expect telepresence to break down this barrier of required communication with employers and colleagues. Making telecommuting a much easier proposition for employees in this current dilemma of needing to have constant contact with their fellow workers.

If you are not familiar with telepresence, it's basically, a method of communication where your image can be seen by someone communicating with you as if they were sitting across a desk from you.

Believe it or not, our communication lines are set up for allowing this. The communication speed is there and we can expect this technology to become more and more common in the near future.

Now, just the opposite, if your current job involves interacting with others outside your organization then this can easily be done from elsewhere. Telephone customer service and telephone sales are all good candidates for telecommuting.

Do you work at a physical plant, construction site, retail store? If this is the case, then it will be a lot harder, if not impossible, to convert that job into a telecommuting position. That is, unless your job involves large amounts of phone or computer work within these settings.

Do you need to be available at a moment's notice? If so, telecommuting may not be a good choice for you. If you are the main point person when people need problems solved right on the spot, being at home may not cut it. Do you manage other peoples computers, the company network, office equipment, etc.? If you do, you may find it hard to convince your boss your services can be performed from home.

These are just a few things to consider to determine if your present job is suitable for telecommuting. If your job can't allow this type of work environment and you still want to work from home, you need to consider finding another job that does.

If your job isn't suitable for telecommuting, you may need to find one that is. And this could mean needing to learn some new skills. You can definitely learn the skills you'll need for a future telecommuting job from the comfort of your home.

If your job happens to be suitable for telecommuting and you want to stay with your current employer, your next step would be to find out if your company has any telecommuting policies in force. Then you will need to discuss your telecommuting desire with your employer. And you just might be working from your home very soon.

Telecommuting Job Idea: Virtual Assistant


One of the newest jobs available today is a virtual assistant. With so many jobs being completed through the internet, having virtual office staff only makes sense. It helps companies keep down overhead, and allows more workers the flexibility to telecommute. While there are training programs to teach you how to become a virtual assistant, many people already possess the skills needed. You simply need to learn to market yourself, showing the potential employer you're the perfect person for the job.

Where to find a job as a virtual assistant: There are virtual assistant associations found on the internet that could assist in your training and job search. Some people who run home offices advertise for a virtual assistant, to help them stay organized without having to have an outside person come to their home. The VA will help them stay current by answering e-mails, reminding them of appointments, and other office administrative duties. Some VA assistant jobs may require occasional office visits, so you would need to live within driving distance of the office.

Skills you need: You should have good people skills, knowing how to communicate well both over the phone and through written correspondence. Being organized is a must, as that is the main reason most people need a virtual assistant: to help them stay organized. Good typing skills are also crucial.

Tools you need: You will need a reliable computer, with word processing database, spreadsheet, calendar programs and internet connection (high speed is best). You may also want to have an unlimited long distance phone plan, as you may be calling clients or setting up appointments for your employer all over the country, possibly even the world. A hands-free phone might also be a good investment. A fax machine is a good idea, as well as a printer and scanner (many units combine all three features in one machine).

How much money can you make? If you find a full-time position, as opposed to freelancing for a few clients, the income will vary. Some companies pay VA's anywhere from $20-$50 an hour.

10 Hot Telecommuting Jobs


If you're interested in working from home & still want to keep a paycheck then the option of telecommuting could perfect for you. There are many different options when it comes to telecommuting and we're going to spotlight 10 of those below:

1. Call center/customer service- Most companies need someone to help take their calls and guide customers with whatever help they may need. Some use their call centers to take and process the orders consumers make. Usually, this type of work involves inbound calls.

2. Transcription- This is usually the closest to a "typing from home" job you will find. Transcription is when you type an audio file into a document that could be read. There are three different types of transcriptioning you can find. There's general transcription, which doesn't require any special training; Legal and Medical transcriptioning are higher paid jobs, but they require training or experience to perform.

3. Data Entry- This is the most popular work at home job people look for. Basically, one takes specific data and enters it into a spreadsheet. It can be the easiest type of work out there for work at home jobs, but these positions are hard to come by.

4. Telemarketing- Typically, telemarketers help to generate sales for companies or set up appointments for other sales people within a company. A lot of outbound calling is involved in this type of work at home job.

5. Online Tutoring- This is where you can help children with their homework by using your computer. There are some companies who hire tutors for those looking for help with ESL (English as a Second Language).

6. Forum Posters- Some companies will pay a person to post a certain number of times on the designated message boards. These are usually to help generate the board's popularity. You will be assigned to a message board with the amount of posts that you will be required to make before being paid the determined amount.

7. Blogging- There is several blogging websites that will pay you to blog for their company. Some will also pay you to review their products on your blog to gain interest in the product from consumers. Blogging is done by computer, so it can easily be done from home.

8. Writing- There are some companies that will pay a person to write articles for their websites. If you can write, then this type of work will do you well as it is a fairly flexible position to hold.

9. Bookkeeping/Accounting- If you have experience in this area, you can find work doing it from your own home. Companies need the help with typical accounting duties and will pay you to do it from your home if you're good at it.

10. Administrative Assistant- If you have done secretarial type work in the past, then this is an option for you. Every company needs someone to do this kind of work for them. There are many companies that don't have a building as their main office, so an administrative assistant would not have a worksite to go to. They would then have to perform those duties from their home office instead.

There are many more jobs that can be done from home, but these are the more popular positions that people are looking for. Some of these jobs can be easy to locate, while others are difficult to find, so do your research and see what is available to you to work from home doing. To find some of these jobs, visit justonlinejobs.com.

Telecommuting - Income For Holiday Cash


There is some desperation around work at home town from folks needing to make some extra cash for the holidays. Everyday I see members of many message forums searching for an honest online job. Here it is...just two short months before Christmas day.

Is it too late to realistically find a telecommute job and make money with it in time for the big holiday?

Well, that all depends on the type of position applied for and the company. Sometimes folks get lucky and get an interview right away, and other times it could take weeks or months. Most times, it is a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

Should one feel optimistic about finding a home based position right away? Absolutely!

A job seeker should begin their search with confidence and motivation. Without it, they won't get very far. Also, repetition of applications is key when trying to land a home job. Apply consistently and think positive. There is still a chance to make some holiday cash for this year.

But the question is...what type of work is actually available online and where can one find it?

There are many positions that can be done at home. A lot of online companies are looking to hire home-based contract workers. The jobs range from bookkeeping, customer service and support, writing, blogging, transcription, admin assistant, and others.

Search for home employment on job related websites such as Careerbuilder.com, Craigslist.org, Monster.com, Jobbank.com, and others. Do a search for those sites with the keywords "work at home job boards" or "home job boards." If you're particularly searching for writing or blogging jobs, take a look at jobs.problogger.net.

You can also search on message boards. There are usually specific sections for telecommuting jobs. Sign up on these forums and stay updated on the listings.

Important Tip: You will need to create a professional resume that can be tailored for specific jobs...as most telecommute companies require a resume. It's also a good idea to include a cover letter. Your resume and cover letter is your key to an interview.

Did you know that holiday sales often represent as much as 75% of a retailer's annual profits? These retailers routinely are busiest at this time of year. So...in truth, it may be easier to find a work at home position closer to the holidays. But, one never knows until placing one foot in front of the other and trying.

I wish you luck, wealth, and happiness throughout this holiday season!

Telecommuting Job Idea - Transcription


Working as a transcriptionist is a great way to telecommute or work from home. Transcription simply means that you take spoken word and transcribe it into a written document. The person you are doing the transcription for usually speaks on a tape or records his voice as a digital file and then sends it to you. You simply type what you hear.

Of course there is software and hardware out there that will make the job easier by allowing you to slow down the recording you are transcribing.

Different Types of Transcription Positions

Medical Transcription

Medical transcription is probably the most common and best know type of transcription. Doctors and other medical staff record their comments and notes about a patient. The transcriptionist then transcribes the recording and the written document is added to the patients file. As a medical transcriptionist you should have a good understanding of medical terminology and their spelling. While a degree or course in medical transcription is not required, especially if you are working for smaller doctors' offices, it does help to gain more lucrative contacts and of course prepares you for the work ahead.

Legal Transcription

Almost everything in legal proceedings is recorded from interviews between attorneys and clients to actual trials. Many of the minor recordings are often outsourced to someone doing transcription from home. You could work for a few lawyers and turn their recordings into written documents that can be added to their client's files. As with medical transcription, there is quite a bit of specialized terminology, in this case legal lingo that you will come across when doing legal transcription. Previous experience in the field of law, or taking a class or home study course will help prepare you for your work as a legal transcriptionist.

Business

There is an increasing need for transcription in the business world. In addition to the traditional letter dictating work that you can pick up, there is an increasing demand for transcriptionists that will turn teleconferences and online meetings into written documents. It seems that almost any online business owner these days is holding teleseminars or teleconferences these days to communicate with both customers and business partners. While many people appreciate the option of listening to information, there are also quite a few who prefer to read a transcript of the call. You could stay busy just transcribing for a few online business owners, or work as a secretary taking dictations for a few traditional business owners in your area.

If you have good typing skills, transcription may be a great way for you to telecommute. Start with some general business or teleconference type jobs. If transcription is something you enjoy doing, it may be worth your wile to take a class or course to prepare you for medical or legal transcription, both of which require extensive knowledge of special terms in the respective field.

Types of Telecommuting Positions - Part One


If you're new to the telecommuting job search; you probably have a lot of questions about what types of positions you can apply for. There are several kinds of jobs that are frequently being offered as a telecommuting position by several companies. Here are some of the options you may find when browsing the job boards:

Customer Service Agent

This is the most popular and easier to find jobs online. There are several companies that hire people to work from home providing customer service for several clients. You could be using the telephone, live chat or even email correspondence to provide the service. The level of experience you need for this position depends on the company's requirements, but they can vary from no experience to a couple years of experience. Each website should say what they have for that requirement.

Transcription

Transcription is typing up audio content into a word document. There are three types of transcription positions that you might encounter in your job search. The types are:

General - You would type up materials from focus groups, financial meetings, and presentations. This type of telecommuting position doesn't require a lot of experience to do. Companies that hire for this position usually look for ability to type fast, ability to listen, and take direction well.

Legal - This is where you would be transcribing legal content for lawyer's offices. This type of transcription usually requires one to have at least a year experience working in the lawyer's office, so that they are familiar with the legal terms.

Medical - You would be transcribing Doctor's notes and files that are sometimes sent to insurance companies. This is the harder type of transcription to land. This type usually requires medical transcription training and some experience working in the field. The companies will not pay for your schooling, so you'll have to pay your own way.

Scoping

A scopist works with a court reporter. Basically you would receive the rough data from the court reporter and clean it up for them. You would do the research, type up the correct information, change the formatting and look for any questionable items the rough data may contain. The court reporter would then proofread your work to be sure everything is correctly in place. This kind of job would require you to have a scopist training under your belt and the necessary equipment needed to do your job. This can be costly.

Social Media Manager

Social Media Managers are people whose job is to scour all social networks, communicate with the target audience of a company and respond to any negative comments being published within these networks. Basically, your primary duty is to socialize with other people important to the company you work for.

You would need to have a good understanding of most of the social networks online and continually research the available tools that pop up frequently to make social networking easier for those who participate. Most companies that hire for this position aren't necessarily looking for on the job experience; they will oftentimes hire based on your knowledge and experience using them in your personal life. This list is only a portion of what's available online today for telecommuters. More types of positions will follow in an upcoming article.

4 Big Mistakes People Make When Applying For Telecommuting Jobs


While it's important to know what to do to help your chances in getting the telecommuting position you want; it's also just as important to know what you should not do. Learning from others mistakes is the best way to do that.

Here are the top 4 mistakes that cost people the telecommuting jobs they apply for:

1. Don't follow directions in a job ad

Some people tend to send off their resume without reading a job ad thoroughly first. A lot of job ads will say things like, "don't send attachments. Place your resume in the body of the email." or something similar. Then what happens if the person applying doesn't read through and see that?

They send an attachment and it ultimately gets deleted and the person is no longer considered for the position since they didn't follow the potential employer's instructions. Those employers are more impressed with someone who can follow directions, because then they could follow directions on the job.

2. Annoy the Prospective Employer

Believe it or not, this actually happens. Its one thing to be anxious; because you haven't heard anything, but it's another to bombard your prospective employer with one or two emails a day inquiring about it.

It's okay to send an email making sure they received the resume a few days after you send it. It's even okay to send an email a couple of weeks later to inquire to see how things are coming along, but it's not okay to send oodles of emails to them on a daily basis. You'll be seen as an annoyance and they probably won't want someone like that working for them.

3. Monopolizing the Interviews with Personal Stories

It's true that most employers want to know a little about you to determine whether you're a fit or not for their company. However, they don't need; nor do they want to know about all your personal problems. Say things like, "I like to travel" instead of "I'm desperate to work from home, because I can't afford daycare anymore."

Stay focused on the questions they ask.

If they want you to share a few things about yourself, then stick to positive things and leave your personal problems to your friends or family.

4. Lying on your resume

You might think that it increases your chances of getting the position, but in most cases, it increases your chances of losing it. Those who have lied on their resumes tend to slip-up in the interviews or get caught by the employer, because they do a little digging.

Be truthful when filling out applications or creating your resume. If you only have 6 months experience developing software programs or whatever; then say so. It's better to be truthful with them, then to get caught in a lie.

These mistakes are easy ways to cost you the job you've worked hard to try to get. Learn from others and avoid making them yourself. The employers will appreciate your professionalism in the application process and you'll be pleased too if they decide to hire you for the job.

Telecommuting Job Idea: Resume Writer


If you are a creative, but concise writer, then being a resume writer could be the perfect job for you. Many people have a good deal of job experience, but don't know the best way to present it to a potential employer. With just the right polish and editing, their resume could put them at the top of the pile. While there are programs out there that can "help" write a resume, nothing beats the human touch. If you add helping with cover letters, you could have a business going in no time.

Where to find a job as a resume writer: You could hang signs on college campuses. Students who are facing graduation and job hunting are always worried about writing a good resume. There are websites that offer resume services, so you could contact them and see if they hire freelance writers.

Skills you need: You should be able to convey the crucial information in a way that highlights the job seeker's strengths. You should be able to creatively represent the information without embellishing in a way that misrepresents the skills.

You need to be able to write the different styles of resumes: Reverse Chronological, Functional, or a Combination. You also need to be aware of the current trend of people writing a CV (Curriculum Vitae), rather than a standard resume. A CV tends to focus on education, writing, and research experience for academic fields.

Tools you need: A reliable computer, internet connection and basic word processor program are all you really need. Although, if you are doing work for local customers, you may need a printer as well.

How much money can you make? Some resume services charge around $250 for a resume, CV and cover letter package.

Earn Money From Home by Telecommuting


Are you confused by the term "telecommuting"? Telecommuting simply means doing work from the comfort of your own home. This trend is catching on fast thanks to the internet. Telecommuting allows people to earn money from home and is invaluable to people who cannot travel to work daily.

The foremost advantage of telecommuting is that you never have to leave home and it leaves you with ample time for family. For physically handicapped people especially, telecommuting is a boom since it allows them to work with ease; something they cannot do if they have to travel to work daily.

This is also convenient for mothers with small children. It allows them to be near their children while also saving the expenses of a daycare facility. Telecommuting also cuts down on transportation costs. Since you are no longer traveling to work, you save the daily expenses of a car or train ride to and from the office.

The most common telecommuting jobs include transcription, telephone customer service, and coding. Jobs of this nature can be found in the job search engines like Monster and Google. These jobs are easy to find but demand a certain amount of prior training. The job market is growing at an average of fifteen percent annually and is generating hundreds and thousands of jobs every year.

You can get information regarding telecommuting jobs from various sources. There are multiple websites that show job listings in various fields for those interested in data entry, transcription, sales, writing, publishing, and more. Some websites allow you to post your resume. Your profile will be placed in a page of potential employees for prospective employers to browse, thus, providing great advantages in networking.

The burdens of working from home cannot be denied but experienced people feel that the advantages of telecommuting are far greater than the disadvantages. It is usually the employee who sets the working hours according to his convenience. It is also far easier to work from home since the disturbances of an office are absent. As a result, duties can be performed more efficiently.

There is also no distraction of office politics. In fact, you needn't even always work from home. Thanks to the nature of such jobs, you can work from anywhere - public places like coffee houses, libraries and even when you are on a vacation.

Legitimate job holders in this field will testify to the fact that telecommuting is a far more satisfactory option than the normal work routine and, since it is free from additional hassles, workers in this field make rapid progress in work and income.

Payments vary in this field. While some companies may pay you the same money as your office going counterparts others may pay somewhat less. The important thing to remember, however, is the fact that the savings has also become a part of the monthly income.

Telecommuting saves the expenses of daily travel, business attire, and meals and this increases the value of whatever you might get from the company.

Guarding Your Personal Information When Applying For Telecommuting Jobs


When I find a good job lead, I will post it on several work at home forums with the word "Unresearched" in bold. Of course it simply means the job lead hasn't been well...researched. A lot of scammers are very good at making a not-so-legitimate job very legitimate sounding which is why doing your own due diligence is so very important. A lot of times people will respond to my post with "Thanks for the great job lead! I applied." Wait a second! Back up! You said you applied?

At this point, I'm hoping they saw the first and bold word Unresearched at the top of the page before jumping in with both feet and shooting off an email with all their personal information on it.

First, you should only have your first and last name and email address on your resume unless you're 150% sure it's a reputable and legitimate company. Too many times people have provided sensitive information that ended up in the wrong hands. It's much too late to think of it after the fact.

Finding a telecommuting job is a huge and stressful task as is and you don't need to deal with the extra stress of not knowing where or who has your personal information.

In no particular order, here are some ways to conduct your research.

1. Check with BBB.org to see if there are any complaints. If they aren't listed it doesn't necessarily mean they are good to go.

2. Check with Federal Trade Commission - ftc.gov

3. Check the company for a physical location. A legitimate company will freely provide street address and telephone number.

4. Check if they have a website. Sometimes a website will have warning signs if it isn't legit such as grammar and spelling errors, poor English and so forth.

5. Ask around various work at home forums if anyone has/had any experience with them.

6. Check the company's references. Request a list of their employees or ICs or contractors and then contact them and ask how it has worked for them.

These are just a few ways and the most important one to live by? If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is.

Remember, never give your social security number, credit card, passport information or drivers license to anyone unless it is requested and you know for sure the company is reputable and legitimate.

Are You Really Cut Out For Telecommuting Work?


Do you have what it takes to work from home? If you haven't yet experienced telecommuting, the thought of it may sound to good to be true. Getting up, putting on your favorite pair of slippers, fixing yourself a cup of coffee and sitting down in your favorite chair may sound tempting at first. But lookout! You may be in for a rude awakening.

Below we are going to discuss some personality traits that are suitable for telecommuting and some that aren't quite as desirable for the existing and want to-be telecommuter.

1. Are you a self-motivated, self-starting worker?

When you're at home working, you're not going to have a manager or boss checking in on you every five minutes to make sure you are performing your job as required.

When I first started telecommuting this was a difficult obstacle for me. My personality had been conditioned through many years of playing sports. Ever since I was a child and up until I finished college, I was always under the guidance of a coach of some sort. I had people constantly pushing me to excel. When I worked from home, I did not.

I'm better with that now. But if you happen to put projects off to the last minute because no one is watching, telecommuting may not be what you are looking for.

On a more positive note, experience has shown that most telecommuters actually get more work done at home than in the office. There are many distractions in an office setting. And employers are finding out telecommuters can be more productive workers for them.

2. How are your communication skills, both verbal but more importantly, written?

As a telecommuter, you will find that you'll be communicating more with the written word rather than verbally. Writing emails, progress reports, and text chatting are all important skills needed for telecommuting today. However, in the near future, video conferencing will begin to replace these modes of communication as internet connections seem to gain speed by leaps and bounds every day.

But for now, good writing will continue to be a much needed skill in the telecommuting world.

3. Are you the type to form strong relationships with fellow workers?

Telecommuting will take you away from the community found in most office settings. Will you be able to handle this? Or is it necessary to have your colleagues accessible throughout the day? Working from home can get very lonely. You'll be spending large blocks of time alone. But with a lot less interruptions.

I myself, don't particularly like this aspect of telecommuting. But this can be overcome by meeting up with the guys or girls after work at your favorite restaurant or on the weekends at the movies, etc.

Just be aware that constant verbal and visual communication with co-workers won't exist while working from home. And quite frankly, sometimes this can be a good thing. For you and the employer.

If you do decide to telecommute, be sure you have a good core of friends you can confide in outside of your work. Back in the 50s, most people became good friends with their neighbors and other circles within the community. But today, where are most friendly relationships developed? Most likely at your place of employment.

4. How organized are you?

Yes or No? If your answer is no, don't fret. Engineers are probably the worst at organization. Both in the office and at home. And I am great testimony to that. We have papers scattered everywhere. But don't you dare try to rearrange it, because we know exactly where everything is.

But on a more serious note, being organized can help you be more productive at your job. And productivity is key in telecommuting. You will have to prove to your boss again and again that your working from home is truly beneficial to the company.

If you happen to be an advocate of chaos, like myself, there is still hope for you. But it's always nice to keep your workspace tidy, because you never know when you'll need that critical piece of information that fell behind your desk.

And finally the big one...

5. Does technology frighten you?

If the thought of the internet, email, video conferencing, and computers in general causes you to break out in a cold sweat, you may want to think twice before you break away from that workplace zoo.

Whether we like it or not, technology is changing the workplace quickly. And especially for the blooming telecommuter. If you don't have basic knowledge of computer telecommunications this will be a skill you'll need to acquire before pursuing a work from home job. These skills aren't optional, they are requirements of all companies looking for telecommuting professionals.

So are you fit to be a telecommuter? Don't worry if you feel you aren't. These skills can all be learned. And some of the downsides, or at least what seem to be downsides, of telecommuting can easily be justified with what this work arrangement can provide you: More time with your family, time for yourself, once missed little league practices and games, more work accomplishments, and more. The positives of telecommuting far outweigh the negatives.
