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.

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. |
