Good Evening,

This will be my last post for Sundays in the No Scam Zone Jobs Blog, but instead of bringing you jobs only on Sunday and daily through the widgets on the blog, it will be the most up to date jobs.

How To Create the Perfect Work At Home Resume

How To Create the Perfect Work At Home Resume

By: Sylvie Fortin

Did you know that your resume for home-based jobs must be completely different than a resume you would use for an onsite job? Your resume for a telecommuting job has to be your main sales pitch. It says everything the employer needs to know to hire you, so having a professional image is very important. You may never have the chance to sell yourself in person with an interview, so you need to make your first impression a good one!

The standard resume has a goal of landing you an interview, while the telecommuter’s resume has the goal of landing you the job. You need to include more information in a compact format that sums up your most important assets and employment history

Important Sections

 

Here’s an overview of what you’ll need to include in your resume if you want to start working from home.

 

 

Objective

This section provides a one paragraph overview of what you want in a job and what you can offer the employer. This is the first thing an employer will read, so make it snappy and exciting!

Be sure to omit the typical “I want to work from home so I can be with my kids” paragraph that some people think are a good idea. There are some very good reasons to avoid these statements like the plague! You need to focus on the highlights of your skills, rather than focusing on your desired location.

Overview or Summary

This section should be a bulleted section which briefly outlines your relevant skills.

 

Keywords

One of the most important parts of a successful telecommuter’s resume is the keywords section. Many large employers have a resume scanning program which scans in your resume without anyone ever actually reading it. Create a section called Technical Experience or Skills and make a list of every software program you have ever worked with, including those freeware programs you downloaded and played with.

 

Employment History

The most common section of any resume is the employment history section. This is where you have the chance to say where you worked and what you did there. The common format employers are used to seeing is the chronological format, with the most recent position listed first. Feel free to be excited about your experience. Use a lot of action words to describe what you did and how you contributed to the success of the company you worked with.

 

 

Education

Outline your educational background here and provide an overview of what you enjoyed most about the courses you took.

 

Interests

This section is completely optional. In this section, try and make a note about interests that relate to your work. Some employers are looking for what kinds of things you do outside of work, but try to stay focused on things that relate to what you do, like reading or research on the web.

 

Formatting is Important, Too

Once you have your resume completed, you’ll need to save it in a variety of formats.

You will need a formatted resume, preferably created in Microsoft Word (the most common word processing application) to send as an attachment only if the employer has specified it. You will also need this to apply by mail or fax. If you are looking for more than one type of job description, be prepared with different resumes for different occasions. Your resume should focus on the type of job you are applying to.

You will need an ASCII text resume to paste into an email or online application. If you rely only on your Word-formatted resume, employers may never read it. Some email programs will automatically delete any attachments, so avoid sending your resume as an attachment if you can.

You should also have an online resume that is created with meta tags firmly established. Some employers and recruiters search the web for skilled personnel who have their resume posted, so make sure yours can be found online!

There are many telecommuting positions out there if you know where to look, but you must project a professional image to the employer. Don’t forget the importance of a good cover letter and have a few different ones ready to send out to land the telecommuting job of your dreams.

 

This article is excerpted from “You Can Work in Your PJs”, a real world guide to telecommuting. Sylvie Fortin works from home full time and wrote this book to share her unique techniques with others. You can download your copy of “You Can Work in Your PJs” by visiting http://www.inyourpjs.com .

 

Sunday Jobs: 2/21/2010

Good Morning,
How was your President's Mid-Winter Break? Even if you don't have children, I hope you took some time off and enjoyed the holiday. I had a very relaxing, sometimes tense time with my family, but overall it was well deserved and we enjoyed ourselves. Now back to the daily grind:). Enjoy these great finds and continued success in your search for a work at home job. Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by.

Warmly,

A Perfect Work from Home Home Opportunity: Start a Transcription Business







If you're looking for a business to start from home quickly and easily then working as a general transcriptionist could be just what you're looking for. A transcriptionist is someone who who types verbatim (word-for-word) from an audio recording. This online business idea won't require much in terms of office space, equipment, or start up costs and could be perfect for someone that has accurate, fast, typing skills.






Picking out your transcription equipment will take a little bit of investigation. Take a look online at the computer programs and good quality headsets available. The actual transcription program will have the settings you need to keep the verbal recording under your control. A must-have is a good headset that enables you to clearly understand the words you are trying to type. So, let's take a look at what else you need to know.






So, you're a talented typist, both in speed and accuracy, you possess good hearing, and you have a good understanding of proper grammar and spelling. So far, so good. You also like to work with deadlines and without supervision. Good. But, there is also a physical aspect of transcribing documents which you'll want to consider. You will be typing big documents and sitting at your computer for long periods of time. Can you handle the stress on your back, hands, wrists, and eyeballs? If you're okay with that then you've come through all those considerations just fine. Now, let's look at how to get started.






Training in Transcription: When you get the right training in transcription, you will save yourself a lot of frustration! You don't want to fail because you didn't do your homework, do you? Before you start your transcription business, spend some of your time browsing through online courses, with your first stop being the Transcription Starter Kit.






Complete Business Plan: Your new business, like all successful businesses, will require a well written business plan. Let your business plan reflect your excitement and tell the world who you are. Start with a straight-forward outline of the services you will offer, then your vision, your marketing plan, your financial plan, and your plans for growth. This not only is a good exercise in keeping your focus, but your business plan will be an significant tool to track your goals and your progress.






Your Home Office and Special Equipment: Let's start with your physical space, your home office. You should have a comfortable space to work, yes, but be sure it's quiet, too. Along with a good computer, you will want special transcription software, but, don't be scared. There are programs to fit every financial situation. Begin on the internet and research the computer programs and headsets available to you. Your computer program will allow you to reverse the document, move it forward, and keep the recording under your control. You'll also have the ability to change settings for speed, volume, and tone, so don't worry that you won't get every word down accurately. Let's not forget the headset! Please do yourself a favor and invest in a great headset. The money spent now will save you a lot of frustration down the road. Being able to hear the spoken words easily, and understand the words without struggling, is priceless when you're trying to pump out documents on a deadline.






Marketing Yourself: Some people like to join with national transcription companies so the work comes to them. However, if you are a good networker and don't mind selling yourself, you may want to find your own clients and work directly with them. With podcasts popping up all over the internet - and teleseminars spreading like wildfire, you'll have a huge list of people to contact with your services.






Website For Your Business: Besides your hard work, your new and growing transcription business depends on a great website. Use it to let the outside world know that you have openings and ready to work! You will be listing your services and letting clients know how to contact you. If website design is not your forte, please hire someone to develop a professional website for you. The cost is minimal when compared to the client reaction you will get from happy testimonials and other client referrals. Keep in mind that your website is your professional face, so please save your personal or cutesy web stuff for the a personal blog. Your satisfied clients will always be ready and willing to refer other clients your way if you make your website easy for them to use and respond to.






It's good to know that one of the fastest growing jobs in the US is in the transcription service business. According to the US Department of Labor, statistics show that transcriptionist jobs are growing at a higher than average rate. If a little research and some hard work is a challenge you are ready to take on, a career as a transcriptionist may be exactly what you're looking for. Is it time for you to dig in and create your own home-based business? Well, there's no time like the present to find out!

Love to Cook?

***********************************************************************************
An Easy Way to Get Blogging & Earning with Your Recipes







Having a Web log, or ”Blogging” as it’s more commonly called, is a great way to share information with others in a public forum, by posting comments on a (often free) website.






Blogs are easy to build; even a novice can set one up in just an hour or less. With free applications like Google’s “Blogger” (blogger.com) or the easy to use Wordpress (Wordress.com), a simple blog can be put together that will highlight your thoughts and images. By setting it up with a clean format and using the latest templates, this increases the blog’s appeal and it can be updated as often as you wish.






One fun and profitable way to blog is by starting a recipe blog (and there’s plenty of information on the topic in this Just Add Sweat guide). A recipe blog is where you can post your favorite family recipes, restaurant secrets or other popular “dishes” about the world of cooking. It’s perfect for people who have tried recipes and thought they could do better. Or those who have sampled restaurant cooking and found a favorite they’d like to share. If cooking is your passion, blogging about it is a wonderful way to get more information out there about this interest. It’s also a great way to tell others about new products available in the world of cooking.






A recipe blog can also offer the opportunity for an entrepreneur to build a home based business. How? By offering for sale cooking products, popular recipes, cook books and other tools that the budding chefs of the world would like. In this way, a blogger can build a nice residual income to support their cooking habit.






Popular blogs that earn a substantial amount of website traffic can earn even more revenue. Through the power of using web traffic tracking tools, a blogger can earn ad revenue or earn commissions by recommending product from other companies. Successful bloggers can even sell their blogs to others and earn an income from developing popular topics into highly trafficked websites.






With a little bit of time and a lot of creativity, a recipe blogger can create an income working from home.






Recommended Additional Resource:






To learn exactly how to set up your blog and how to create a recipe blog that people love, talk about and come back to, grab Just Add Sweat Guide to Start a Recipe Blog. You’ll also learn how to get traffic to your blog and make money doing something you enjoy.

How to Make Extra Money in a Recession

 

Most of what appears here on Tip Hero has to do with ways to save money, but occasionally we cover ways to make money too. And while it's no easy task making extra money in a recession, we know of a lot of people who have been creative and figure out how to make a few extra bucks each month.

The Wall Street Journal recently posted an article about ways to make money in a recession. The ideas are pretty straight forward ("Sell It", "Rent It", "Say It", "Do It"), but we still found the article worthwhile. We also found the real life stories of how people have found success to be very inspiring.

For example:

Linda Lightman first tried eBay more than 10 years ago because she wanted to help her sons get more for their old videogames. It was so easy that the former lawyer started selling her old suits. Then, friends asked her to sell theirs.

Today, shoplindasstuff.com has 50 employees and expects to reach $7 million in sales this year on eBay. "The economy has been the perfect storm for my business," Ms. Lightman says. "More people need cash, and more people are looking for bargains."

 

The article goes on to explain how easy it is to sell used items:

Many bookstores provide cash or store credits for "gently" used books. Similarly, stores like Play It Again Sports provide cash and store credits for gently used sports equipment. Check with local stores but they often need golf clubs, ice skates, lacrosse equipment and other gear.

Threat of Job Loss? Economic Crisis? Let Those Challenges Help You Skyrocked Your Career

Threat of Job Loss? Economic Crisis? Let Those Challenges Help You Skyrocket Your Career

Could economic crisis or the threat of unemployment actually help your career? Could it improve your life? Believe it or not, it can. Read on to discover how those negatives can actually change your life for the better.

Even those of you who enjoy the benefit of job security – health professionals, technologists – experience the discomfort of an economic crunch. You too are suffering as systems, organizations and employers are trying to do even more with even less than ever before.

And you have to ask yourself: is it worth it? Is pushing yourself beyond your limits on a regular basis worth any amount of money?

You’ve taken the stress tests. You know you’re on the verge of job burnout. What now?

Step back. Take a long hard look. Where you will be in 1 year if you keep this up? Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years? Will you last that long? Honestly, is it worth it?

Are there alternatives? You bet there are.

Most employers get sucked into the frantic race to compete. And they demand more and more of their employees in order to keep up the pace.

Other employers – the rare ones – step back and ask themselves if there is a different way. The even rarer ones make a commitment to find it. Henry Ford did this.

So did Cirque de Soleil and Blue Tail wines. Both of these companies excel in highly competitive industries. Both are likely to survive economic crises. Both are employers.

There are “Blue Ocean” (W. Kim Chan & Rene Mauborgne, authors) companies in most industries. These companies have sufficient insight to ask the deeper questions – questions that transform the way they do business and raise their vision and value to a whole new level. Companies that make it their mission to create completely new models on which to build their business.

These are more than visionary companies – they are mavericks. With their unique approach to business success, they recognize the value of talent to their organizations. They see it as their most precious resource and are committed to protecting and nurturing it.

Look for these kinds of companies and organizations. They will value you. They know better than to destroy the very resource that assures their success – their people.

And here’s a resource that can help you get started with finding the perfect job for you: Great Job Finder Expert Pam Jonsson’s downloadable audio and ebook at http://www.JobSatisfactionGuaranteed.com

Working from Home: Managing Stress at Ease

Working from Home: Managing Stress at Ease by S. Geetha

Many people are of the view that home based businesses are stress free. Actually speaking, a person may have to face a lot of stress when working from home. If the stress is not treated properly it might affect the person as well as the productivity of the work. When corrective measures are taken and the work is organized, some amount of stress is reduced, but the person should remain motivated and try to overcome from it fully. A person working from home may get stressed due to the loneliness nature of the work as there will be no boss or manager to guide or take care of the administrative work. Friendliness atmosphere is lost due to lack of collegues etc. One of the biggest hassle working from home is the stress it causes. It is really impossible to lead a stress free life. Efforts should be to manage or reduce stress. There are several ways to cope up with the stress caused by work from home businesses so that the person doing the job can enjoy and excel in what he likes to do at the leisure of the home.



Tips to reduce stress when performing a home based business:



Getting the work area organized and free from clutter will provide a little bit of relaxation to the person. The work area gets cluttered daily and it is unavoidable, but they can be kept in place either while leaving the work place or before starting the daily jobs. It will become a habit in the long run and it saves from stress.



The person doing the home based job should only commit what he will be able to do. Because, the deadlines can be very stressful to the person who has committed when cannot be met. It is better to set a realistic date of delivery and if possible to deliver the project before the said time, but should never delay not deliver beyond the said time. Thus the client and the person doing the job are free from stress.



All the jobs cannot be done by a single person, as it will lead to a stressful life. To avoid that delegation of work needs to be done properly, so that the job does not suffer.



Planning is very important to successfully finishing the job in a better way. It is also very important to avoid unwanted disturbances from others either through phone calls or who come in person to have a chat etc. It is better to see that there are no interruptions while working and plan to work on those undisturbed hours to stay away from stress caused by others.



In between the work time, some time can be taken to meditate or to exercise, or to go for a walk, or do anything which the person likes to do. It can also include a nap if desired which rejuvenates the person to work in a better and peaceful way.



Stress can also be caused due to health problems and sickness which can be overcome by eating a nutritious food, regular exercise and enough sleep. All the above things keep one refreshed and be prepared to meet any kind of day to day challenges at work.

Good Evening,

It is late and I am sorry that I didn’t get around to getting this information up here earlier. It is just life and it can sometimes get a little hectic, but here it is. I just wanted to be clear here that the information I provide here is from Leslie Truex, who owns WAHS and provides all of the jobs here.

Her subscribers have probably already received the jobs, but I still continue to provide what I know is legitimate and trustworthy. I would not have it any other way.

Medical Transcription: A Perfect Work from Home Opportunity

A Perfect Work from Home Opportunity: Start a Transcription Business







If you're looking for a business to start from home quickly and easily then working as a general transcriptionist could be just what you're looking for. A transcriptionist is someone who who types verbatim (word-for-word) from an audio recording. This online business idea won't require much in terms of office space, equipment, or start up costs and could be perfect for someone that has accurate, fast, typing skills.






Picking out your transcription equipment will take a little bit of investigation. Take a look online at the computer programs and good quality headsets available. The actual transcription program will have the settings you need to keep the verbal recording under your control. A must-have is a good headset that enables you to clearly understand the words you are trying to type. So, let's take a look at what else you need to know.






So, you're a talented typist, both in speed and accuracy, you possess good hearing, and you have a good understanding of proper grammar and spelling. So far, so good. You also like to work with deadlines and without supervision. Good. But, there is also a physical aspect of transcribing documents which you'll want to consider. You will be typing big documents and sitting at your computer for long periods of time. Can you handle the stress on your back, hands, wrists, and eyeballs? If you're okay with that then you've come through all those considerations just fine. Now, let's look at how to get started.






Training in Transcription: When you get the right training in transcription, you will save yourself a lot of frustration! You don't want to fail because you didn't do your homework, do you? Before you start your transcription business, spend some of your time browsing through online courses, with your first stop being the Transcription Starter Kit.


Complete Business Plan: Your new business, like all successful businesses, will require a well written business plan. Let your business plan reflect your excitement and tell the world who you are. Start with a straight-forward outline of the services you will offer, then your vision, your marketing plan, your financial plan, and your plans for growth. This not only is a good exercise in keeping your focus, but your business plan will be an significant tool to track your goals and your progress.






Your Home Office and Special Equipment: Let's start with your physical space, your home office. You should have a comfortable space to work, yes, but be sure it's quiet, too. Along with a good computer, you will want special transcription software, but, don't be scared. There are programs to fit every financial situation. Begin on the internet and research the computer programs and headsets available to you. Your computer program will allow you to reverse the document, move it forward, and keep the recording under your control. You'll also have the ability to change settings for speed, volume, and tone, so don't worry that you won't get every word down accurately. Let's not forget the headset! Please do yourself a favor and invest in a great headset. The money spent now will save you a lot of frustration down the road. Being able to hear the spoken words easily, and understand the words without struggling, is priceless when you're trying to pump out documents on a deadline.






Marketing Yourself: Some people like to join with national transcription companies so the work comes to them. However, if you are a good networker and don't mind selling yourself, you may want to find your own clients and work directly with them. With podcasts popping up all over the internet - and teleseminars spreading like wildfire, you'll have a huge list of people to contact with your services.






Website For Your Business: Besides your hard work, your new and growing transcription business depends on a great website. Use it to let the outside world know that you have openings and ready to work! You will be listing your services and letting clients know how to contact you. If website design is not your forte, please hire someone to develop a professional website for you. The cost is minimal when compared to the client reaction you will get from happy testimonials and other client referrals. Keep in mind that your website is your professional face, so please save your personal or cutesy web stuff for the a personal blog. Your satisfied clients will always be ready and willing to refer other clients your way if you make your website easy for them to use and respond to.






It's good to know that one of the fastest growing jobs in the US is in the transcription service business. According to the US Department of Labor, statistics show that transcriptionist jobs are growing at a higher than average rate. If a little research and some hard work is a challenge you are ready to take on, a career as a transcriptionist may be exactly what you're looking for. Is it time for you to dig in and create your own home-based business? Well, there's no time like the present to find out!

The Benefits of a Work At Home Internet Business

The Benefits of a Work At Home Internet Business by Colin Johnson

Your standard of life is directly related to your choice of job or career because the standard of life you enjoy is dependent on the income you receive. In traditional jobs in which you are answerable to your employer, your income potential will be capped and you'll never exceed it by any significant amount. Sure, you might earn a little extra if you're willing to work overtime hours, but you'll never make those changes to your lifestyle and security which you probably dream of making. Working for an employer definitely limits you. If you want to make lots of money, you really need to work for yourself. Enter: the growing trend of home based internet business. Here is your answer! Not for everyone, but amazingly lucrative for a growing number of people who research carefully and make an informed decision to just `go for it'. Do make sure you find the business which will give you optimum chance of being successful, the right business for your needs.



Imagine the joy of unleashing your earning potential and seeing how far you can go, in your own work from home business. Nothing could be more exciting than challenging yourself to creating wealth and an improved lifestyle for you and your children. Never again will you feel trapped by the expectations of the boss or your formerly inflexible hours. There will suddenly be no limit to what you can earn, and no income ceiling to restrict you.



There is no comparison between the cost of buying a traditional business such as a store or newsagency and the cost of buying into a work at home internet business. The former will usually set you back $100,000 minimum and the latter as little as $1,300. The former requires a huge mortgage, the latter requires no borrowing whatsoever. No wonder work at home businesses are growing exponentially in our modern society.



The maintenance fee on a physical building outlet type business, can be a huge burden to an owner. Leases need to be paid, electricity, phone and water expenses can run high. Then the continual renovating and updating costs can mount as well as those horrid unexpected repair bills. Proprieters are often tearing their hair out at the unstoppable flow out of their account just to keep the doors open. A home based business however, skips nearly all of those crippling costs. In fact, a good proportion of usual home maintenance and running costs can be claimed back on your tax. All of which is money in your pocket.



It seems like it's harder than ever before to find good staff. Even when you do find a suitable, honest, conscientious employee, these days they'll be moving on to the next thing as soon as you've trained them up! No wonder so many feel frustrated and thwarted in their attempts to grow their business. No such worries with home based internet businesses. The only thing working for you need be your computer and telephone, and spouse (if you get on really well!)



What a wonderful lifestyle booster it can be to have flexible work hours where you set the timetable and not a demanding boss. The internet is always open and the best online business programs are the ones that have an automated system that makes money for you when you are sleeping, golfing, shopping meeting with friends over dinner, and dare I say it, holidaying. A work from home business can mean never having to disappoint the kids again by missing a concert, play, school presentation or carnival or sporting event. Memories like those cannot be recaptured or relived. They are one off opportunities that a home online business can present for you.



Most would agree that there's nothing more important than family. Wouldn't it be great to spend more time with your children and to be home when they get home after school. Wouldn't it be an amazing feeling to have your work day completed by the time their school day is completed. It's completely possible. The right internet business can make you an astounding amount of money, even on a part time basis, and can free you up to enjoy your partner and kids.



A work from home business gives you the freedom to be part of the solution in society. Every person I believe should be involved in giving their services in some way to their community in a voluntary capacity in helping the elderly, local youth or school, your church or emergency services. Not only does this create obvious benefits for others, but also has great benefits for our self worth and esteem and is an excellent model for our children who can often think the world revolves around them. Don't ever forget to invest in your community. A huge income from a home online business can also give you a lot more money to donate to worth charities. Be a blessing to those around you.



There are countless benefits to you and your family in managing your own work from home internet business. Too many employees head off to work day after day wishing it was different and battling on under the circumstances. The answer is to get out from under the circumstances and be proactive and do something about it. If you don't take control of your future and finances, someone else will. It's just that they may choose to steer it in a direction that is a dead end and not toward the destination you had in mind. Investing in a well researched home based business puts you in the drivers seat.
