How do you find a telecommute job? Every person that has a dream to work at home starts with that question. Begin by searching job banks as described at http://www.mybesthomelink.com/employmentagencies.html.

Basically, approach your search for a telecommute job like any other job search. If you were looking for a regular forty-hour-a-week job in an office, you would approach it with the following:

• A polished resume that emphasizes your skills and strengths
• You would seek out positions that you were qualified for
• You would follow application instruction to the letter. In other words, if the ad said “No phone calls”, you wouldn’t call. If it said “Apply in person, you would apply in person.”

Although a work at home position probably doesn’t require you to make a personal appearance, whatever instructions are included in the ad must be followed to the letter. If you have none of the traits specified in the ad, don’t apply for it. If the ad specifies that a resume and three references are required, be prepared to provide that information. If it is looking for a particular type of experience that you don’t have, don’t pretend you do.

The competition for a work at home job is enormous, especially with recent trends toward rising gas prices. Improve your chances by approaching this job search with the same kind of professionalism you would bring to searching for a regular job.

Millions of Americans work from home on a full or part-time basis, so finding this type of job can be done. The most important qualities you need for this search are determination, persistence and a little bit of patience.

My next post will discuss writing a resume geared to the goal of working at home.

Welcome to Work At Home Link Blog. I am excited that you have found your way here. If you’re looking for a place to find out the best opportunities for working at home, a place to find out how to recognize and avoid scams or a place to show you how to really start making money from home, you’ve come to the right place.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 20 million people spend at least some time working from home as part of their primary job. The statistic that isn’t available is how many millions of people wish they could work at home but don’t. For a lot of people, working at home seems to be an impossible dream. Experiencing only frustration, some start believing there are no opportunities, only scams. They may try a few opportunities but run out of money or hope before making any real progress. They give in to discouragement and frustration. They give up their dreams.

With patience and persistence, your dreams can come true. Don’t give up!

The first step in this journey is to get in touch with what you really want so you can make a plan to get it. There is a difference between needing a few extra dollars to fill the gas tank and wanting to be able to quit your day job. One is a path to financial relief – the other is a path to financial freedom. Different goals require taking different steps. My goal is to help you on your journey, whatever the direction.

What is your goal? Let’s explore the options and work toward them together.

Thank you for joining me today. Hope you will visit again soon.
