Find out how you can increase your chances of finding and getting a work-at-home job!
When I first wanted to work-at-home, there wasn’t the number of opportunities for telecommuting as there are today. Like many before and after me, I hoped there was a company that would hire me to type or do some other menial job so I could stay home with my kids. Because I wanted something I could starting now that would be easy, I passed over many viable jobs, and as a result, it actually took me longer to become a work-at-home success. I want you to avoid the time and frustration I endured by giving a few tips to help you avoid missing telecommuting opportunities.
1. Stop looking for fast and easy work-from-home jobs.
Searching for jobs that you can sign up and do now will only slow you down because there is no fast and easy way to get a job. Further, it will increase your chances of getting scammed.
2. Be open to new work at home job options.
Sometimes people are so focused on getting one type of job that they miss others that could be as profitable and enjoyable. Instead, consider how you can use your skills, experience and interests in a variety of jobs.
3. Go for it!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought, “I’ll never get that,” or “I’m not qualified,” or “I’m not good at that,” but I tried anyway and got the work. Failure is a part of the process, but so is success. Even if you don’t think you can compete for the job, if you have enough skills, submit the best resume you can.
4. Be proactive.
I once got a work-at-home job by sending a resume to organizations asking if they needed someone with my skills. One replied and I worked from home for that agency for nearly twenty-years years. Sending a professional resume and cover letter that highlighted the benefits of telecommuting to the company was all it took to get a reply.
5. Learn a new skill.
If you don’t have a skill needed to get a job, get the skill. Take a graphic design class at the local community college. Teach yourself WordPress. Learn to write copy (copywriting). Many work-at-home jobs don’t require advanced degrees. All they require is knowledge and skill that can be easily had for a few dollars and practice.
6. Keep up with technology.
Just a few years ago, the job of social media marketer didn’t exist. Today, anyone who’d spent time learning Facebook and Twitter can now command good money to help others use these resources. The same is true for WordPress. These jobs don’t require any special education; after all, there isn’t a degree in Tweeting. Instead, companies are hiring people who have learned to use these tools and can help them make use of them as well. Learn emerging technology to increase your job options.
The opportunities for work-at-home jobs are everywhere, but they can be missed if you’re not open to seeing them. Use the tips above to make sure you’re not missing out telecommuting opportunities.

Hello Sandor, Work-at-home jobs are like any other jobs: You need skills and experience to get them and you find them where employers post their employment needs. With that said, it can take a long time to find a job that fits with your talents. Plus you need a great resume that sets you apart from other applicants. Finding a work-at-home job is definitely a test of tenacity and resolve.
