Legitimate (real) Work At Home Jobs with Pay and Benefits
Have You Dreamed About Working from Home?
Many women want to work from home. Since women tend to be family caregivers, a home position can eliminate a long commute. That leaves a lot more hours in the day. But when we search for home office jobs, a lot of what we see are not real jobs with salaries or hourly pay, but home business opportunities or, even worse, lists of places you might be able to find a work at home job that want you to pay up front for access.
Work At Home Jobs with Pay and Benefits Exist!
While some people may benefit from home business opportunities, not everybody wants this. Home entrepreneurs are a special breed, and many people would rather just have the structure of an actual job with a set shift and pay rate. I love running a home business, but I know that my business is not the right choice for others.
How To Spot Real Home Jobs
Here are some expert tips to tell if a posted job is really a job, or is a business opportunity (or worse yet, a scam):
- The posting will have requirements. Certain skills, equipment, and/or years of experience will be required for the job. If the ad says that it does not require any equipment or skill, it is not likely to be an actual job posting. Some examples of requirements for a home customer service representative ( a common work at home job) might be one year of customer service experience, a good phone manner, and basic computer skills (like entering data or sending emails).
- The job will require an application or resume, and may ask for some references. A company that is willing to hire people to work at home will not want to take everybody, but will look for disciplined, self starters.
- Any sort of application fee should make you wary. You do not usually have to pay to apply for a job.
- A home office job may have an hourly pay scale, salary, and even benefits. But if the promise of earnings looks too good to be true, that should cause you some concern. Have you seen ads that promise $7,000 a month for posting links on Google? Those are not endorsed by the search engine, and are certainly not postings for jobs with wages.
