There has never been more opportunity, but also there have never been the number of scams. Used to be the best chances lay with stuffing envelopes, now there are dozens of at-home jobs that are just a mouse click away.<\/p>\n<h2>Legitimate Or Scam<\/h2>\n<p>How do you sort out the legitimate opportunities from those that will end in disaster? With 4,500 to 5,000 ads for in-home jobs screened weekly, The Rate Race Rebellion, which tracks such things, found that there were 30 scams for every legitimate opportunity. <\/p>\n<h2>Competition For Job<\/h2>\n<p>Who\u2019s your likely competition for the jobs that are available? Durst, whose company Staffcentric LLC develops home-based and virtual career training programs, identifies them as: Parents with small children, military spouses who face moving every few years, retirees and people with disabilities. <\/p>\n<h2>Disadvantages<\/h2>\n<p>Work-at-home is not particularly an ideal option for parents with small children who are likely to create diversions during the day.  Consider deadline-oriented jobs rather than those that demand schedule-oriented work. <\/p>\n<h2>Who It Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Social introverts may do very well with at-home work. They prefer interacting with others at a remove, working through email or on the phone, to being obligated to work with a lot of other people directly. <\/p>\n<h2>Personal Characteristics<\/h2>\n<p>The characteristics that usually are demonstrated by good at-home employees are self-motivation, discipline, well-developed job skills and independence. <\/p>\n<h2>Check Your Credit<\/h2>\n<p>If you apply for work at home, a prospective employer may check your credit. Check yourself at myBankrate. <\/p>\n<h2>Reduces Overhead<\/h2>\n<p>From the employer\u2019s perspective, hiring workers who don\u2019t come regularly into the office has some advantages. It reduces overhead and provides access to talented workers who are not available locally but make great telecommuters. <\/p>\n<h2>Opportunities Available<\/h2>\n<p>Ten job opportunities that now are available to at-home workers include virtual assistants, medical transcriptionists, translators, web developer\/designer, call center representatives, tech support, travel agents, teachers, writer\/editors or franchise owners.  Look at the possibilities, but check with the oversight agencies to be certain you aren\u2019t involving yourself with a scam.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to find a job that will pad your family\u2019s income while you remain at home?
