As the desire for work at home opportunities increase, unfortunately so does the desire to create work at home job and opportunity scams. As the number of scams rise daily, it is vital that work at home opportunity seekers become savvy and aware of the alerting signs that warn them that a scam is in the works. There are legitimate work from home jobs available; it only takes a job seeker knowing what to look for and what to avoid. During your work from home search, keep the following in mind.
Those who manipulate words and create scams prey upon the eagerness and the excitement of the work at home prospect. Clues such as “Earn ,000.00 a day!!! No experience necessary! We train you!” should trigger a “scam flag” in the reader’s mind. Avoid overly enthusiastic ads with excessive exclamations, capitalization, and extravagant promises. If someone could realistically earn this type of income so easily and quickly, our economic situation would be resolved and poverty would have already been non-existent.
Another “scam flag” should alert the reader to “beware.” When a company demands a fee to secure a position, this should alert you to “steer clear and click away.” Many of these companies who request payment to “secure a job,” only earn their income from these requests. They often make claims that the job is filling quickly and you “must act now.” You should never have to pay for a job.
Unfortunately, many have been taken by these scams and have made the scammer the richer. Utilize others mistakes and wisely heed their warnings and advise. Search for the company in any search engine followed by the word “scam.” Various reviews from work at home seekers will clearly reveal the opportunity in question.
Just as you would with any job search, look for the requirements of the employer in question. Do they, just as other employers would, seek a background check, do they request a resume, do they list requirements such as work history, and references? Do they request an interview? Even if these requirements are asked of you, still proceed with caution, as this is your personal information. Many legitimate work from home jobs and opportunities will also list technical, office equipment requirements, and skill requirements in order to be considered for a position.
When seeking a work at home job opportunity or any home based business opportunity, examine the website of the company. A company should be willing to have a “contact us” page should you ever need to contact them with questions or concerns. Especially if you were hired to work at home for them whether it be telecommuting as an independent contractor or as a work at home agent working as an employee of the company.
Be encouraged, there are reputable legitimate work at home jobs that are available. Using the guidelines provided in this article should help bring you closer to the comfort, flexibility, and freedom of working from home! Happy work at home job hunting!
12.1.10 Bringing Work Home
Image by iampeas
(335.365) With my job I’m on-call 24-7 for any emergencies, but I rarely take work home with me otherwise. I’ve worked hard to be really very organized, so when I leave at 5…I leave everything there.
Because the boss is working on a major deadline and my other full-time coworker is leaving for a month on vacation….I’ve been picking up more and more (and more and more) cases. Thankfully Ellen has taken on more cases too (though she’s still training in some areas) and our Grad Student is going to take on more as well….but really I’m pulling the majority of stuff these days.
I’ve always worked on the premise that WORK will always be there, there will always be MORE to do…and so I set a limit (5pm) and walk away. However, because of the nature of my job…when work piles up….it’s not reports or things that don’t get done…it’s PEOPLE who don’t have work done on their specific situation.
So tonight I brought some work home, I poured some wine, pulled out the phone and email and got a lot of work done. Not enough….but some. And tomorrow, I’ll have room to take on more.
