Work At Home Jobs What to look for ... PLUS some real, legitimate homebased jobs!
Independence ... Freedom ... Flexibility ...
These are some of the reasons why work at home jobs are becoming more and more
popular every day. After all, working from home lets you adjust your schedule to
fit your needs and the needs of your family.
This section discusses some of the things you should look when searching for
work at home jobs. If you're in a hurry and just want to get the goods,
click here to find homebased jobs.
Many companies have sprung up to try to fill this surge in interest in work at
home jobs. They typically offer memberships for a fee. Members have access to a database
of homebased jobs from various companies. In other words, they act as a sort of employment
agency - they don't employ you directly, but they provide you with job listings.
Some of the things you should consider before signing up with any of these companies are:
Their membership policies.
Do you have to hold a membership in order to hold your job? If you find a job
through their job listings, do you have to renew your membership in order to keep
your job? Any job you have should remain yours so long as your are in good standing
with your employer. Not renewing your membership should not affect that.
Be cautious of any company that guarantees you a job.
No one can guarantee you a job if they aren't the employer! After all, employers
offering work at home jobs are looking for people with specific skills to fit the job.
That only makes sense. Your success in landing a homebased job depends on your skill
set, your resume, your interview, and many other factors. It is between you and the
employer; the company that provides you with a membership to their database of jobs
cannot (and should not!) guarantee you a work at home job.
The types of jobs they offer.
Are they all "business opportunities", like the type found over the Internet?
Are they only for typists? Are they only offering programming positions? A
database with all types of jobs will give you the most selection.
Additional benefits.
What else does a membership entitle you to? Do they give you any additional tools,
or help, or benefit plans?
Customer service.
Does the company where you hold your membership answer your emails promptly
and address your concerns?
Testimonials.
What do other people have to say? Check for testimonials from others. The
best way is to read verifiable testimonials - for example, is there an email
address where you can contact the person who gave the testimonial? Unscrupulous
companies can very easily make up testimonials.

Want to see what others are saying about OutSource2000? Here's one testimonial,
from the many that you can find under the Testimonials link at the OutSource2000
website.
"Your site is quick to download, very informative, priced where people can afford it and is worth every penny. Very Satisfied. I just became a member and have already landed a job. In my opinion there is not another site like OutSource2000. I was also impressed when my CD-ROM did not work that you rushed me a new one and gave me an additional 6 months membership for my inconvenience. Thank you very much for making the research easier for people like me. If I had to rate your site on a scale from 1 to 10 it would be 10+."
