How to spot a real at home job.

There was a day that we did not see a scam in the help wanted section everyday. That day has sadly passed by. Maybe one day the scammers of the world will wake up to the notion that they can be more successful at a honest day's work, but until then when trying to find a work at home job we must keep our eyes on the details and watch closely.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Determination.
• Detail oriented.

1. Understand that there are scammers out there and if it sounds to good to be true it is. If someone says something is legal, and you do not believe it to be true it is probably not.
2. Know that most real at home jobs will not be advertised. You will have to find them, due to the fact that many open positions are filled before any ads can be placed.
3. If they are advertised, they will not start of with telling you how much you will be making. Business seeking home workers have the advantage, and do not need to waste advertising budgets telling the employees to the tee what they will get out of it. A description of the qualifications needed for the job and how to send them your resume will usually be all you will see.
4. They should also include a business name and address, check it out with the Better Business Bureau first.
5. Some times for very obvious reasons, they do not provide contact information exempt for a generic email. If you do sent the your resume do not be to quick to sent them any personal information. Block out identifying information exempt for you email address. In you cover page include the reason you blocked you identifying information and include that you hope to here back with them. Also include that when you have their information and are able to check them out with the Better Business Bureau then you will gladly send them the information they need. However think twice about providing a social security number, if you have never talked with them on the phone. I they do not care if they have your credentials the business is probably a scam. Same goes for if they will not tell you who they are in the first inquiry about you working for them.
6. Remember a honest real at home job will not request any money. Any charges they will have for background checks should be taken out of your first check.
7. If they seem to pushy, pass them by, if they are not a scam there is a reason why they are having trouble keeping employees.
