WHERE TO LOOK FOR JOBS

Making the decision to work at home and selecting a field to pursue won’t be
enough to get the ball rolling. Unless you plan on building your own business from
the ground up, you will need to know where to go to find home-based jobs and
opportunities. There are a number of options out there that can be incredibly useful
for helping you launch into earning money at home. There are, however, a few
things to watch out for. The work-at-home world is not immune from scam artists,
unfortunately.

USING EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES

Local employment agencies can be an invaluable resource for freelancers, semi-
skilled workers and even those looking for on-staff positions with companies that
put at-home workers on the payroll. To find an employment agency that’s worth
working with to fuel your career, make sure to:

 Define your interests
Employment agencies can be rather specialized in the types of positions they
handle. Make sure your interests and the career area you plan on pursuing
are clearly defined to cut out agencies that might not be able to help you.

 Research agencies in your area
Once you know what you want to pursue and perhaps even what fields you
want to stay away from, look for agencies in your area that have reputations
for helping people in your sphere of interest. If you can’t get
recommendations, call local agencies and ask what they handle.

 Research associated costs
Most employment agencies charge the employer; not the job seeker. Make
sure to check on this before dealing with an agency. It’s no fun to land a job
only to discover a cut will be taken off the top!

Employment agencies can be invaluable resources for launching certain areas of
interest in at-home work. Make sure if this is the path you want to pursue that the
agency you work with is skilled in your area of expertise or interest.
