Things To Avoid

As easy as some locations can make it to find potential at-home work opportunities, not everyone out there is exactly reputable. With this in mind, it's important to avoid the scammers by taking a cautious approach to any proposition. To avoid problems with at-home work opportunities, freelance contracts and more, make sure to:

Research companies

Don't sign on to sell products for a company without understanding exactly what those products are and what the company's reputation happens to be. If you're freelancing, look into the employer's reputation. Freelance sites, for example, will often offer feedback ratings. For other business opportunities, check with local chambers of commerce or the Better Business Bureau for background information.

Avoid ads that promise the moon and stars

Many advertisements for at-home workers offer a ton of money for a very little bit of work. Others will try to charge you for the opportunity to work for them. Unless it's a franchise with a buy-in fee, be very wary of anyone who tries to get your cash so you can make money. Also, if work at home jobs sound too good to be true, they probably are. Exercise common sense here and do look into backgrounds.

Use contracts

It can become all too easy for freelancers, for example, to slip on this front. Make sure to get clients under contract, even if it's for a single, very short-term job. This protects not only you, but also the freelance employer.

Opportunities that don't fit personal plans

If you're idea is to work at home most of the time and enjoy a flexible schedule, don't sign on for a home-based sales position that will eat up 80 hours a week. Keep all your goals in mind when exploring the possibilities out there.

Finding employers for many at-home positions isn't as difficult as it might sound. There are a number of resources that can make the task rather easy.

Tips For Landing The Job

While not all work-at-home jobs will require interviewing or proposal creation skills, many will. If you've decided you'd like to work for a company that hires at-home employees or on contract for someone locally, for example, you'll want to brush up your interviewing skills. Should you be planning on Internet-based freelancing, you'll need to know how to present yourself in the best possible light through proposals.

Getting A Handle On Interviewing

If you haven't interviewed for a position before or it's been a long time, there are some tips that can help you put your best foot forward. To make sure you do the best you can in any interview situation:

Dress the part

While it might not be necessary to wear a power suit and pumps for every interview, dress neat, clean and professionally. First impressions do matter.

Do your homework

Be ready to answer a variety of questions both job-related and otherwise. Understand the position, the company and what your role might be before going in the door. Also, it's a good idea to prepare for anything that might be thrown your way. Plan for a one-on-one interview, but don't lose your cool if it turns out to be a panel. Just breathe and be yourself.

Make eye contact

This is essential for sending the right message to potential employers. This can help you gain a reputation of being confident, competent and honest - all things employers look for even in at-home workers.

Have a home setup well under way

While you might not need a home office or a good computer setup before you land a position, having plans in the works can give you the edge of initiative you need.

Relax

Try to be as relaxed and confident as possible during any job interview. This will help you answer questions more thoroughly and can also assist you in making a good impression. Even if the position is your "dream," don't psych yourself out by thinking it will be the end of the world if you don't get it. This will undermine confidence and will likely give you a tense appearance.

Sell yourself

Don't be afraid to bring your qualifications, experiences and strengths to the forefront. Remember, an interview is really a sales situation. Rather than a product or service, you will be trying to sell yourself. Perform the task well and you will land the job.

Be honest

Don't try to make yourself out to be more than you are. Be honest in answering questions. If you don't know something, admit it. Stress that you are willing to and capable of learning anything that's thrown your way.

Be realistic

Make sure you are at least reasonably qualified for a position. If the job demands highly specialized skills and you don't have them, it's probably unrealistic to go after the post.

Face-to-face interviews can be rather nerve wracking, but there are ways to ace them. The more prepared and relaxed you are, the better you will come across to potential employers. This can give you the edge you need to bump out the competition.

Landing An Online Job

Interviewing or applying for a job in a virtual setting can be a little trickier. While some positions might also include a face-to-face interview, many do not. This means you'll often have to sell yourself based on credentials and written communications alone. There are some tips that can help you perform here. They include:

Prepare proposals with care

Since it's very likely that you'll have to land the job on written materials alone, putting proposals together right will be imperative. Make sure you take the time to update your resume and qualifications, review your proposal and only offer what you can truly deliver. If you're planning on freelancing, keep your bidding prices competitive.

Make yourself available for follow up

Some freelance employers like to interview candidates on the phone or in chat rooms. Make sure you are available to speak when necessary.

Follow through

Once proposals are submitted, it can be a good idea to follow up with a potential employer and make yourself available to answer any questions. If you're bidding through a freelance matching service this might not be possible, but in other arenas it can be a valuable habit to get into.

Interviewing for a full-time position or even a freelance contract can be a little overwhelming. The more prepared you are for what to expect, the better you are likely to do. With a little confidence, you will make good things happen for yourself.
