Finding a "real" work-at-home job is easier than you might think. The problem is, scam artist have left their mark and in doing so, left a bad taste in the mouths of many.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • High speed Internet
  • Quiet work place
  • Comfortable seating
  • Resume
  • Cover letter
  1. Step 1

    Seek out places that specialize in offering work at home job leads. Doing random searches can often lead to finding scams. http://occupationalhwy.com is one such company that has researched, tried and tested the many avenues of work at home jobs over the years.

  2. Step 2

    Choose your keywords carefully when searching for a work-at-home job. Use keywords such as telecommute, virtual and off site, rather than the standard "work from home". Using the term, "work from home" alone is the key phase that is often used by "scam" artist and in their ads. Instead, type in "work from home job leads".

  3. Step 3

    Most companies do not require you to pay for your own background check. However, there are a few legitimate companies that hire workers from home and do require that you pay your own background check. Again, finding a good site that offers work at home jobs leads will keep you much safer.

Tips & Warnings
  • Never EVER pay for a job
  • Never EVER pay for a job list
  • Do your due diligence
  • If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is
