How Our Schools Create Corporate Drones
We are all brainwashed and trained at an early age by parents,
teachers, and society to believe that getting a job is what we
are supposed to do. Maybe this was a good thing to do in the
50s, 60s, and even 70s. I'm not sure.
But things...

Touching On Telecommuting
I have exciting news if you want to stay home with your precious
babies, but still need a weekly paycheck. If you think you can't
do both, I'm here to tell you that you can! The official word
for what I'm talking about it "Telecommuting", but it's also
known as a work at home job.
If you're brand new to the concept let me tell you a quick
overview of the meaning. Basically, a telecommuting job is much
like a job outside the home. You work for an employer, you have
assigned duties, you often make an hourly rate, receive a
paycheck and do this all from home.
The differences from outside the home to inside is that you
often do not receive any type of benefit such as you would
outside the home. For instance, you won't receive health
insurance, paid holidays, paid sick leave or vacation time. The
benefit you do receive is the luxury of working inside your home
and being with your kids.
First Steps To Breaking Into This Field
If telecommuting does interest you there are some basic things
you need to know in order to get started. First, you need to
know where to find the legitimate jobs. The internet is filled
with scams and it's important that you know where to find the
legitimate jobs. The following are just a few of the great
resources online that provide many legitimate job listings.
FREE SITES:
www.WAHM.com
www.Craiglist.org
www.ABYZNewslinks.com
www.Workaholics4hire.com
FREE NEWSLETTERS:
www.TelecommutingAn
swerLady.com (which is my weekly newsletter)
www.Workoptions.com
www.homejobstop.com
Paid Membership Sites
You certainly don't have to pay to access legitimate job leads,
but there are two websites that are legitimate and offer many
leads and those are:
www.homejobstop.com
www.teleworkrecruiting.c

What Jobs and Pay You Can Expect
Often, I'm asked what types of jobs are available and what one
can make at home. First, I'm excited to say that there are just
as many types of positions available for telecommuters as those
who work outside the home. Anything from customer service to
sales to marketing to data entry to medical transcription and
much more!
The pay is going to vary from position to position, but the
average pay seems to range from $8.00-$14.00 an hour. There are
exceptions to this and it will honestly depend on your
experience in a particular field and what company you get into.
And there are chances to move up in many telecommuting companies
so keep that in mind as well.
Read This BEFORE Applying
It's so important that you realize getting a job at home is not
easy and will take time. Not only that, but your competition
will be tough and you need to stand above the rest. Being
professional with your cover letter and resume and any follow up
is key.
Make sure you spell check like a maniac and tailor each and
every cover letter and resume to that specific job you're
applying to.
I would highly recommend you have a professional résumé writer
craft a winning cover letter and resume for you. You can find an
affordable and creative resume writer at www.resumeasap.com.
And in a final note with this topic, please remember to always
be professional in all correspondence. If you don't happen to
receive a job you applied for don't email the employer angrily
because you did not receive the position. I received this great
tip from an employer on this topic. And believe it or not, this
does happen all too often.
"Don't burn bridges. When you receive a letter saying you didn't
get the job, send a polite reply asking that your information be
kept on file and express your interest in being considered for
future openings. There is nothing to be gained by voicing any
anger or resentment at not being chosen."

What Equipment Is Needed
Just like working outside the home you'll need certain things to
do the job. You often need either all or some of the following:
Home Office
Computer
Printer
High Speed Internet (in most cases)
2nd Phone Line (sometimes)
Fax Machine (sometimes)
Quiet Environment
Depending on the job you might need something that I didn't
list. For example, if you're a transcriptionist you might need a
foot pedal or something of that nature. And there are also
instances in which you won't need all of the equipment I
mentioned. The one obvious thing you will need in all cases of
legitimate employment is a computer and internet access.
Final Thoughts
Please keep in mind that it often takes much longer to find and
get a telecommuting job then a job outside the home. The market
is very competitive and although there are many more jobs now
then a few years ago there is also much more competition. So
please don't think that you will get a job tomorrow as that is
not likely to happen.
Persistence is the key. Don't give up on this happening. I
firmly believe that where there's a will there's a way. It could
take months, but when you do receive the welcome letter to a
great telecommuting position it will all be worth it!
