If you are looking for a telecommuting postion, there are a few things that you should look for.
1. Never pay to work for a company. You don't have to pay to take a job in the outside world, why should working online be any different. This does not apply to Business Opportunities. Business Opportunities do involve fees for your starter kits. They are like owning your own business.
2. Make sure the company you want to join is listed in the Better Business Bureau. I can't tell you how many people I have stopped from joining scams on my site just by verifying that the company is registered with the BBB. If there is no address on the website, call the company and get one. If there is no phone number e-mail them.
3. Do your research! Check online and see what you can come up with. Search the Work at Home Message Boards and see what others have to say. One that I use very frequently is on WAHM.com. If you type in the company and do a search under Telecommuting Mommies, I almost always get results!
4. Most companies hiring people to work from home will require an application, and possibly a test and resume. Don't see this as an obstacle, see this as a company who is taking the time to screen their "employees" If you haven't heard anything in a few days, send a professional looking e-mail to follow-up, or make a phone call. You'd be surprised what a little persistance can do.
If you ever have a question about the validity of a job, you can e-mail me at any time. I research jobs for my readers all the time. I also have a list of companies hiring people to work from home, and a page devoted to work at home scams on my website. |

Great advice, Brandy!
I have one comment regarding the Better Business Bureau. I agree that the BBB is an extremely useful source to use when evaluating a company. But, I think it's more important to look for a company's complaint record than to only consider whether or not they are members. Many companies don't want to pay the hefty fee to become a member; it doesn't mean that they are unethical.
You can check with bbb.org to see if a company has complaints filed against them. If so, how many have there been and how were they handled. If a company has one complaint filed in a 5 year period and it was resolved, that's actually a good record. If, on the other hand, they have 20 filed in the last year and many of them are unresolved, well obviously that's bad news.
Just my thoughts on the BBB. Great article! |
