Work From Home Jobs - Search Tips & Tools For WAH Job-Seekers

Work From Home?

Imagine waking up, putting your coffee on, making lunches, getting your kids off to school

(insert your morning routine here) and sitting down at your computer to go to work.

No more dress code. No more fighting rush hour traffic. Relief from high fuel costs. No need

for expensive meals purchased from fast food eateries and restaurants. Plus the many other

benefits enjoyed by home-based workers.

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Well that's exactly what many Americans and others

are doing these days. And in increasing numbers. The technical term is telecommuting.

Simply put, they're working from home.

It used to be that working from home was a privilege reserved only for home-based business

owners and other professionals whose job allowed them to complete some or all of their

work at home.

These days however, thanks largely to advances in technology (computers and the Internet),

the door to home-based employment is now open to many for whom the door has previously been closed.

Today, busy college students, stay-at-home moms (and dads), and those challenged by the

traditional workplace, such as the handicapped and disabled, are finding more and more

legitimate work from home job opportunities.

In fact, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 20%, or, 1 in 5 Americans

now work from home full time.

Work At Home Job Search Tips

To limit your search to work from home jobs, enter the field/position you are interested in plus

"telecommute" or "telecommuting" (without the quotes). You can also try searching by entering the field/position plus "work from home" (with the quotes).

Beware of Scams

When searching, beware of scams. "Work From Home" scams are everywhere, including on the

Internet. Never pay money to someone for the opportunity to work from home or to access

job listings. There are plenty of free sites offering the same information at no cost.

The only exception to this rule is for a background check. There are some legitimate

companies that require a background check (at your expense). If you are unsure of a

company, do some research. Check with the Better Business Bureau online to see if there

have been complaints. Another good site to check is RipOffReports.com.

Data Entry Telecommuting - The Skills and Tools You Need

Data entry telecommuting is a good option for you if you want to earn a decent income from the comfort and convenience of your own house. You don't need any prior education or training and finding the best job for you is now easier than ever. What you do need is some equipment like a computer with high speed Internet access, a headset, a printer and a telephone.

You only need minimal skills for this type of job. If you don't have them yet, you can easily learn them by yourself. First, a reasonably high typing speed, and second, a high accuracy rate are essential. Administrative skills are a plus. You should always check up on any job offer you may receive before actually plunging into it. A good indication of whether a job is a fraud is when the employer is asking you to pay a fee. In this case stay away from it.

To successfully work from home you need to be a disciplinarian when it comes to yourself. You should not allow yourself to be distracted by any non-work related events that are not emergencies. Another great advantage is that you have flexible working hours. So you can work at times when you are not likely to be required for other things. Once you develop a regular and consistent working time table, you will further increase the quality of your work and because of that receive even greater profits.

It's a good idea to use a room or dedicated area in your house exclusively as your home office, allowing you to focus on your work only. Not only will you be able to concentrate better in a productive environment, you can also perform better and get the job done faster.

Most data entry telecommuting jobs are easy to do and repetitive, never exhausting or stressful. Another added bonus to working from home is that you will save on the ever increasing commuting costs.
