Step 1
Prepare a resume. If you already have one done, fantastic, but you may want to update it. If you are really anxious to find workathome then you may want to have a professional update your resume for you. There are sites that can give you ideas on how to write your resume rather than using a professional, but they also have professional services listed too. You can find these sites in the Additional Resources section.
-
Step 2
Join websites such as WAHM and ratracerebellion. The first is a forum with people who are either looking for work or are working at home already. WAHM can give you a lot of advice on where to look and whether the sites are legitimate or not. Ratracerebellion is a list of work-at-home jobs. You can find the links in the Additional Resources section.
-
Step 3
Send your resume to all the jobs that you may be interested in. The more places you apply to the more chances you have of getting hired.
-
Step 4
Converse with others. This is very important especially when you are waiting for responses to your resume. The people in the forums are great at keeping you sane. They can give you advice and let you know how long it took for them to get a response from different companies.
-
Step 5
Report scams. If you find a lead that is a scam, post it in the forums. This will help others when they are looking for legitimate work-at-home jobs.

on 5/29/2009 Working at home is the thing of the present. Especially in this economy today. I've worked at home for about 7 years now. I've been home and back out and I see what I prefer now (being at home). I found my first at home job from a wahm site that way I knew others had done it and I found another oppty in which I applied for http://www.document-do-it-yourself-service.com/jobs.html. Can't wait to hear back.

on 3/10/2009 hEy- cHeCk ThIs OuT--- I work from home with this great company, it's real work with real money- none of those get rich quick schemes. If you are interested let me know, I'd be happy to share it with you. After all, it's been such a blessing to me and my family.

on 3/6/2009 Many multi-level marketing programs are scams that cause you embarrassment from your friends and family because you tried to sucker them in. I was turned on to this new opportunity called CDRP or Collision Deductible Reserve Plan. You make great money saving 10% to 40% on their auto insurance without changing companies or agents. Don't take my word for it; here what Rich Hawkins, Vice President of Insurance for AAA of Washington, has to say about the program by clicking the following audio link.http://www.idaleaders.com/Step2-Audio.aspx?ID=bobscott This is not insurance it is a reserve account that pays your deductible in the case of an accident.
