Melissa Rich Author – Your Virtual Home Office Can Be a Reality!

A lot of people I encounter are seeking a home based job/career. It sounds wonderful but the need for legitimate home-based positions are not any easier to find than when I started 12 years ago. The scammers are even better at finding those that are considered to be newbies to the field. My advice to those just starting out in this market-Research every opportunity and if you think that it seems to good to be true, it generally is.

Look at local sites such as:

Flexjobs.com

Indeed.com

Monster.com

Or companies such as:

Live-ops

VIP desk

Convergys

There are many legitimate opportunities out there for those that are seeking long term positions working from their virtual home office. When I first started looking for work from home, I made it my full time job to research companies and opportunities. I researched at night when my family was sleeping and in the afternoons after I completed my daily work.

I started working from home by spending hours, days and months of research. It was not a quick process. Looking for work became my full time job.  Just like most people, I paid money for a guide that had the top 100 companies that hire work from home staff. Like most guides, it was not worth the paper it was printed on. The best way to get started is to First-define your skill set. If you have experience working on the telephones, then start in customer service. Gain experience with a company to get your feet wet in this industry.

Do your homework! Check out every company before going to work for them. Contact the BBB or state agency where the company is located and definitely check out some of the top WAHM chat boards. Being a newbie in any industry is tough, but being a newbie in the work from home industry can cost you money.
