7 Steps to Finding Work At Home Jobs

7 Steps to Finding Work At Home Jobs

Are you interested in working from home? A lot of people are. However, a lot of people never end up working from home.

Why is that? Is it just too much of a dream to be able to work from the comfort of your own home? No, absolutely not. Working from home is possible. It is realistic. You just need to know how to find the jobs and put forth the effort to do what is necessary to get one.

That is why many people who want to work from home never do. They do not put forth the effort to learn how to find work at home. If they do learn how, they don’t take the necessary actions.

So, be your own person and go after what you want. Start by following these 7 steps:

1. Determine how much money you need or want to make from home. Knowing this will help you focus on the right types of jobs, versus wasting your time looking at job for which you are either over qualified or under qualified.

2. Update your resume and list of references. If necessary, get help with your resume. Make sure you have a professional-looking resume. Avoid taking short cuts here.

3. Understand what telecommuting is and where the work at home jobs are posted.

4. Check out the company with:

* Your local Consumer Protection Agency
* Your State Attorney General and
* The Better Business Bureau – where the company is located and also where you live

Ask these organizations if they have received complaints about the company offering the work at home jobs that you are considering. Note that the absence of complaints doesn’t necessarily mean the company is legitimate. Companies may settle complaints, change their names, or move to avoid detection.

5. Do thorough research on any job in which you’re interested. Do a search on the internet for the company and also the names of anyone with whom you spoken at the company.

6. Do the math.

There are many of job postings that claim you can earn thousands a month, working 20 hours a week typing, performing data entry, or doing some other administrative work. However, when you crunch the numbers it’s clear the claim is bogus.

For example: Say a company claims that they will all of your clients for you. They also claim that you will only work 4-5 hours a day and make $5000/month.

Let’s look at the math:

5 hours a day, Monday to Friday, is 25 hours a week, which is 100 hours a month. $5000 a month divided by 100 hours a month means you would be making $50 an hour to type.

This is not going to happen – the company could hire someone locally and pay that person a monthly salary that’s a lot less than $50 an hour, even if benefits are included, and have him/her working 40 hours a week. Even if that person puts in over time at time and a half the hourly rate will still be a lot less than $50 an hour.

7. Report any scams that you come across.

If you encounter a scam, report it to your local Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission.

    Only thing you can do is try, although I would present it to them first. Don't let them find out about it. It's in your best interest to be up front and honest.

    Tell him you don't have time to do it all and ask him what he thinks the both of you should do. See what he says.
    And why do you have to work all those jobs?
    Make out a list of the chores…do your chores and leave the others that he is supposed to do.

    Welcome to life…lol ~ this is how a lot of us feel, so you're not alone. Is the class that is interfering with the job offered online? If so, take it as an online class. The best way to juggle is to make out a written schedule with every task that needs accomplished and give it a time slot. It may sound ridiculous, but I have Sunday-Saturday scheduled to every hour (now, I don't always follow the schedule but at least I know what needs done and when it needs done). I'm a single mom to a son with autism, so we thrive on routine… in addition, I work full-time and attend full-time classes + I have to get my son to and from daycare and occupational therapy, assist him with at-home exercises, supervise and assist with his homework time (generally 60-90 minutes each night), take care of home maintenance (inside and out), pack lunches for the both of us, take him to and from extra-curricular activities, etc… and the list goes on. Throughout the school week I'm up at 6:00 a.m. and generally get to bed at 3:00 a.m. Luckily, on Saturdays and Sundays I can usually get 7 hours of sleep or I'd be close to death by now. It sounds like your chaos will soon be over (if you're a senior), so you won't have to run so ragged for too long. You have to decide your priorities… if you have to take this class but it will cause you to lose your job, then you'll have to see if your job will give you flex-time or you'll need to put in your notice. If the job is your number one priority, then you'll need to drop the class and make it up through an online class, or with summer school. I leave work each day and list my priorities (out loud in the car, people passing by probably think I'm crazy…lol): what absolutely has to be done, what needs to be done, what I'd like to get done, what should get done, and what can wait. The list usually goes like this:

    What absolutely has to be done:
    dinner, homework for my son, showers, packing lunches, studying for a test (me)

    What needs to be done:
    dishes (especially if they've piled up), taking out the trash, putting up the laundry, homework for me, my son's at-home exercises

    What I'd like to get done:
    vacuum, dust, make return phone calls, organize the cds

    What should get done:
    filing, paying bills

    What can wait… everything else that's on the to-do list

    *** This really helps me figure out what absolutely has to be done, and what can wait for the next day… or week. Good luck! The craziness will not last forever, you just have to decide what is your absolute priority.

    I agree with you. I don't see this happening anytime soon or ever for that matter. After they are out of term they shouldn't be eligible for retirement or health care.

    Wow!

    You need help and support. Are there any support groups or way to network with other young student-parents? If not, try to organize one. If you can afford a few dollars, see if you can't find some students willing to babysit for a couple hours.

    What you describe about learning to work as a team with your significant other is exactly the problem I had, early in my marriage. We were very young, with a baby and trying to navigate school and work. The teamwork aspect is something that just comes with time and maturity.

    In the meantime, you need to get some help. But whatever you do, stay in school and finish your degree.

    Best of luck!
