Question: Where is the best URL/LINK to help someone find a legitimate 'telecommuting' job?

( Back )

Answer #1:

Most telecommuting jobs are those done my long-time experienced employees with a company, who have a track record with that company, who can be trusted to work by themselves with the self discipline to get things done on time and correctly. In other words, most telecommuting jobs are filled by people who are known and trusted by the company. It's very very unusual to have a new employee with no track record get a home-work job.

IN addition, many telecommuting jobs do require *some* office time. In some cases it can be one day a week, while in other cases it might be one week a month. No matter what, there is some need for "face time" and that needs to be taken into account. Further, if your friend were to get a telecommuting job, no doubt there would be some training required, which would make him have to go to wherever the training is taking place.

Finally, some jobs are amenable to telecommuting (computer programming, for one, some sales for another) while others are not (retail sales, marketing, things where you need others to do your job). What skills does your friend have? What can he bring to the position?

I'm really not trying to be negative, but rather, realistic.

Answer #2:

I am sorry to hear about your friend. There are lots of jobs that you can do from home and make good money. You are not going to get rich working from home, but you can make a good living. Most people who work from home make just as much as they would working outside the home, plus you save money by not buying gas, work clothes and lunches out.

Just remember never pay to work from home. You would not pay any outside company to work for them and the same is true with telecommuting jobs.

Answer #3:

There are a lot of companies that hire people who telecommute however it isn't as easy as getting a job outside the home. Your friend will need to have a good resume and cover letter prepared and depending on his skills start applying at the appropriate companies.

One great place for him to start is Click Here they connect people with disabilites to employers willing to hire employees and contractors for home-based assignments.

Be sure to tell your friend to NOT fall for the trap of paying for a job. Many websites make it sound like they can get you data entry work if you only pay a one time fee.. It's a scheme and not really a job. There are also a lot of payment processing scams going on right now as well which people are falling for since they promise a great job and great pay. Warn him of those too.
