The Do's And Don'ts of Applying for Work at Home Positions
Most people want a work at home position, whether they find one researching online or their outside employer considers telecommuting. When applying for a work at home position, you must treat it like you are seeking an outside position with a company. When applying for a work at home position, there are some things you must consider to help you get the position at home.
The Dont's in finding work @ home positions -
1. Do not ask if the position you are inquiring about is a scam. Do you realize how bad that looks? If you respond to an advertisement and ask if their opportunity is a "scam," do you know what they are going to do with your email? You got it, they are going to toss it! Never ask if an opportunity is a scam to the person you are inquiring too!
.
2. Do not respond to every single work @ home ad you find online. I find many people responding to every ad they find to get a work @ home position. Why apply for a position when you do not have any experience. For instance, you are a typing expert and you see a web designer ad, don't apply for a web designer position if you are not qualified.
3. Do not keep emailing the company regarding the work @ home position. If you keep emailing to find out the status of your interest/resume /application, you will annoy the company. I would say follow up with them in about two weeks.
When you follow up, make sure you write a professional follow up letter.
The Do's in finding work @ home positions -
1. Apply only to positions where you are qualified. If you are a web designer
then you would obviously apply for positions where you have the knowledge and experience.
2. Read the information regarding the position in detail. Read the advertisement over and over. If they have information on a website, read it in detail.
3. Follow the directions of "how" the company wants you to submit for more information. If the company wants you to email your resume in the body of an email then do it or if they want it as an attachment then send it that way.
4. Always, email a resume when the company asks for one. If they say they want a resume then make sure you send one. Make sure it is a professional resume focusing on what your skills, experiences and anything you are
doing working @ home.
5. Make sure your resume and any correspondence is well written and checked for errors. Last thing you want to do is send a resume with grammar and punctuation errors. It is critical you check your resume over and over and even have someone else review it for you.
Making sure you are thinking and acting professional when applying for work @ home positions. You will probably get more responses to your resume and have less rejections.
