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.

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

One Dozen Tips to Making Your Telecommute Job Search More Productive

"I need to find a legitimate telecommute (work at home) job right now! I'm going to lose my house! Help me please!" These bold statements look considerably familiar. With the economy the way it is now, I see these desperate words leaping off social media sites everywhere. And in truth, is it possible to find a telecommute job on the spot?

In most cases, unfortunately, no. In others, some are just lucky at being in the right place at the right time. It takes real patience from a severely motivated person to find a legitimate home job.

That's probably something you didn't need to hear, just being realistic. However, there are certain things you can do to greatly increase your chances at landing a work at home position. Also being Internet savvy will certainly be in your favor.

Some great places to actually start your search may be on home job search forums, Twitter, Blogs, and doing a search on Google.com (type in "work at home jobs" or "telecommute jobs")

One dozen tips to help make your search a little more productive

* Firstly, be fully aware that when seeking for a legitimate telecommute job, don't assume your work will be easy or there will be no effort on your part to earn money. Honest, hard work + job loyalty = profit.

* Know upfront that most online companies require some set skills and experience to get the job in question.

* Know upfront that most online employers will request a resume from you.

* There are a few companies that will train you on the job, but very few. Make for sure you know the full details before applying.

* Don't stop at submitting just a handful of resumes. Consistently applying without giving up will pay off. Keep submitting those resumes, and think positive

* Don't set out to apply for just one type of job, there are many options available to you (depending on your skill sets of course).

* Never be apprehensive about asking for assistance from time to time with your search. Message forums are excellent for job searching. The idea is to use proper forum etiquette network with others, and ask questions.

* Keep your eyes open for the work at home scams, and there are plenty of them out on the net. The number one sure sign of a scam is registration or start up fees, and they are usually the "data entry" ad hype you see everywhere. Don't take the famous saying lightly and never pay for work at home.

* Visit the various work at home websites, job boards, and blogs that regularly post job leads.

* Keep a careful track record of the jobs you've already applied for. This will aid with duplicate applications.

* Do consider your family's needs and their schedules. Especially your children. Do you have daycare covered if you have small children at home, (depending on what type of job you are applying for).

* Important: Don't quit your outside the home job until you've successfully found an online job and have a start date. It's also a good idea to do a few trial days to see if the telecommute job is truly your cup of tea, (if possible).

Be positive, committed, and always be thinking, "I CAN do it!" Never second guess yourself, especially if you have all the required skills.

Telecommuting Job Search - Frequently Asked Questions

If you're looking for a telecommuting job, you may have some questions about the whole job searching process. Here are some frequently asked questions to answer some of them for you:

What is the difference between Telecommuting and Work from Home jobs?

All in all, there isn't really a difference. Both refer to a job that you would perform from home. Telecommuting, oftentimes, will refer to the types of positions where you would work part-time onsite and part-time from home. Work from home, generally means that you would perform all job tasks from your home office. Each company uses which ever term they see fit.

If a job says that it's a work from home opportunity, then is it okay to apply to?

No it is not. You should never apply to a company until you've done some research. Some scam ads will use the work from home phrase to entice you to inquire with them. Also, legit business opportunities will use that term to get you interested in starting your own business selling products. Research each ad before giving the company any of your information.

Why is it so important to research companies before I apply for their advertised positions?

There are many legit companies looking for people to work from home, but there is also the same number of people looking to scam you out of your money. Scammers are crafty and have conned a lot of people into giving them money or some of their personal identifying information that's ultimately used for identity theft. You must do your research and make sure the company is legit before you start handing over any information.

Does it increase my chances of getting a job if I apply to a lot of telecommuting positions?

Yes, provided you are applying to jobs that you have the necessary requirements and skills the company is looking for. If you apply for a position of web designer and you have no skills or experience to perform the job, then they'll just delete your resume. Or they might go another step and not consider you for any other position.

Can I get a telecommuting position if I don't have any experience?

Yes, it is possible for some positions. Take a look at some of the job duties you are performing now or have performed recently. There might be something there that could give you an edge. For example, maybe you do some typing at your current job. If you're a fast typer, you could possibly get a position with a transcription company. Take an online typing test, see how fast you can type and see what the transcription companies are looking for.

The job ad says that I only have to pay for training materials. It's legit right?

No it is not legit. No job, whether it's work from home or onsite; will ever ask you to pay for anything except a background check, in some cases. Training is a part of your job; it's not something you should ever pay for. Scammers use it for unsuspecting people who will go ahead and pay the price and then they ultimately end up with nothing or junk in return.

If you're searching for your first telecommuting position, you may feel overwhelmed with all the information out there. Be assured that you're not the only one. Many telecommuters have been in your shoes, and because of that they have paved the way for you to be well informed.

Keeping Your Telecommuting Job Search Efforts Organized

Oftentimes, those looking for telecommuting work, will apply to several companies at one time to increase their chances of getting hired. It does help your employment efforts, but it can make it hard to keep track of where and when you applied to what company.

It's important to have some kind of organizational system to keep track of what you've done so far, because:

- It helps keep you from applying to the same job ad three times

- It helps you avoid the mistake of confusing the hiring manager's names

- It helps you know when you can send a follow-up email to check on the status of your application

What to use to organize your job searching efforts

There are several things you can use to do this. Everybody has their own preference, but here are some of the more popular choices:

Word processing document- This allows a job searcher to place all they information they want about who they apply to. It can be easily printed off the computer and they can file it or carry it around with them.

Spreadsheet- This allows you to document important information concerning each job ad you applied to in an easy to read format. It can also be printed out or it can be saved on your computer for future reference.

Daily planner or calendar- This helps you quickly see what day you applied to what job ad. Brief notes are jotted down about the ad you applied to and the planner or calendar and it can be carried anywhere. You can also use a computer version of the calendar to keep it saved.

Spiral notebook- This can be used by those who prefer not to use a computer or feel that the planners don't have enough room to jot everything down. A simple notebook, which you write down all the application details in, can be taken anywhere and stored anywhere.

Once you've decided what you're going to use to store all your information in; then you can start keeping track of your job searching efforts.

Again, everybody has their own preference of what details they want to remember, but here are some of the items you should be including in your organizational document:

- The date you applied or sent your resume

- The company you applied to

- The hiring manager that will receive your application, if known

- The job title you applied for (For example: Customer Service agent)

- Important details from correspondence sent to them or received from them (For example: interview dates)

- Any important job ad details, like how long they're accepting applications (gives you an idea of how long of wait you might have)

As time goes on you can refer back to your list and make any necessary changes and even cross out the ones that you didn't land or see which ones you could send follow-up emails to.

Having a list handy, that's easily referenced, makes your searching much easier. Now, you can avoid struggling to remember who you applied to, when you applied and even whether or not you've checked back with them.

By avoiding these mistakes, you appear more professional and more organized in a prospective employer's eyes. Those who can organize something as daunting as a job search, has the ability to organize details relating to the job they're applying for. Show your prospective employer that you can do it.

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 From Home Jobs

So what kinds of jobs are these home-based workers doing?

There is a wide variety of jobs being performed from home. Legitimate work at home

jobs can be found in all of the following fields.

Appointment Setting

Data Entry

Document Coding

Customer Service

Editing

Freelance Writing

Fundraising

Legal Transcription

Medical Transcription

Online Tutoring

Order Taking

Programming

Proofreading

Research & Surveys

Reservations

Sales

Telemarketing

Translating

Virtual Assisting

Website Design

And this list is far from comprehensive. The question then becomes, where can you find these jobs and the companies offering them?

Regular Search Engines

For starters, use your search engines. Ask, Google, MSN and Yahoo are the biggies.

Specialized Job Search Engines

There are also specialized job search engines you can use. Sites such as Indeed, Juju and

Simply Hired will return results from major job boards (CareerBuilder etc.) as well as jobs

posted directly to their own sites.

Specialized Job Listing Sites

And finally, there are specialized job listing sites. Sites such as TelemarketingFromHome.com

provide specialized job listings for a specific type of work or industry. Using this site as an example, if you are interested in call center work from home, you can find jobs in Appointment Setting, Customer Service, Fundraising, Order Taking, Reservations, Sales, Surveys and more.

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.

Good luck with your job search

So there you have it. A list of resources to aid you in your search for a work at home job,

as well some specific tips to help you along the way. By using all of the resources available,

you are sure to find the perfect work from home job for you.

Gain the Know - How You Need to Do the Work-at-Home Job Search Successfully

Researching for legitimate work from home or what is most commonly known as "telecommuting positions", can be a difficult task and may open up some risk factors you are unaware of. To be successful at this you should know a few things up-front, as well as bona fide resources online that have more of a potential to start you off on the right foot, and in the right direction.

Telecommuting positions are projects such as freelance writing, "genuine" data entry assignments (not survey taking), full time or part time independent contractual work in many different fields, web design and/or content management, customer service with inbound or outbound calling (most popular), sales and even employment with health insurance, dental coverage (NOT discount benefits), and even 401K, that the work can be performed from your home office.

This can also be described as a non-traditional type of work (NOT multi-level marketing, network marketing or direct sales = you pay to join a company to work), meaning you won't be required to work at the companies location or office. You'll be given the opportunity to work from your home instead.

Now that we've covered the basics of what this article is about we can now get into "how-to" search for authentic jobs online, all while avoiding scams, bait and switch offers, misleading MLM advertisements... etc.

Searching the Internet for legitimate work at home jobs (telecommuting position):

One of my most favorite authors and Information providers on the subject is Rat Race Rebellion. From this resource many people have learned how to do some pretty basic searches on Google for work at home jobs. They call it "Google Your Way to Telework Job Leads" on their website.

They offer very basic keyword phrases including the quotations that offer decent results on Google. What others have learned from this section of their site and also implementing their own creativity is you can find a variety of opportunities online once you know what to look for.

Using quotations in your search on Google will provide specific feedback on that keyword phrase alone. So for instance if you were searching for medical transcription work at home jobs you might consider searching with quotations.

For example:

"medical transcriptionist needed"

"seeking experienced medical transcribers"

These search results and providing the quotes before and after your keyword phrase will bring up all of those words in that order on each result, thus providing you with a much more narrowed result that may be more specific to what you are searching for.

Go give it a try on Google and see what I mean. Then come back and continue reading.

Now you aren't only limited to Google.com. Try the following websites for even better results that are pulled from all over the Internet and job related only.

Indeed.com
SimplyHired.com

How to Identify Those Red Flags:

The most popular misrepresentation of a classified ad I've seen showering down on the Internet is an ad from a health benefits (non-insurance) MLM company affiliates.

The ad reads that they are looking for a Regional Sales Director, a Health Benefits Specialist, and I've even seen "Professional Recruiters Needed" title to the advertisement.

The title "implies" legitimacy and professionalism when rightfully it's a ploy to get you to read on.

The creator of the advertisement means to draw you in with stating they offer you health benefits, daily pay and bonuses, which sounds good, but what they don't tell you when you sign up for the "telephone interview" is that you will have to pay to join this multi-level marketing business.

To some that is viewed as a bait and switch and often not appreciated once the applicant finds out they must pay to join this business.

Now I'm not saying whatsoever that the MLM industry isn't worth getting into, but I am saying that you need to be aware of what you are applying for and what it is you truly are willing to do to earn money from home.

Most don't appreciate ads that subtly imply they are an employer.

For the MLM or direct sales industry it is always strongly suggested to gain some sales experience or outside training before committing to any monthly expenses in this field.

More advice:

If the advertisement doesn't offer direct contact information, such as an email address (@companyname.com, not @gmail.com or yahoo.com) or preferably a website or contact number it may not be worth handing out your personal resume with your contact information.

If you choose to apply to such an ad that offers no or little contact information, just reply asking for additional information "before" you hand over your private details.

In addition you can often find reasonably level headed discussion on work at home leads by visiting the popular wahm.com forum.

The bottom line is your research into a company should be the first on your mind. Although more and more companies and individuals are hiring people to work from home and the industry itself is becoming more recognized as a legitimate way of earning money, it's always a good idea to keep your wits about you before you apply and accept a job offer from a stranger or unknown company.
