Tips on Applying work at Home

Working at home is always a bit tough and risky because there are so many rogues who are out to scam you.
Searching for jobs you can do from home used to be a matter of scanning the Sunday classifieds for offers to get rich quick by stuffing envelopes.
Now, exposure to at-home employment opportunities has exploded, and a wide range of job ads are just a mouse click away. But so are the scams.

Scam Alert:

When considering any at-home job, put up the scam-detection radar.
Durst suggests watching for these positive indicators of "real" employment:

• The hirer is an established company.
• The ad includes the company name and does not have applicants reply to a blind e-mail address.
• Human resources personnel are available for questions.
• There is mention of information commonly associated with "real" employment (benefits, vacations, policies, etc.).
• There is an application and interview process, not simply an e-mailed offer.
• The employer can detail the job duties and expectations.
• References/work samples are requested.
