I am looking for a Work-At-Home career so that I can spend more time with my children. Do you or know someone that has a Work at Home job opportunity available? I have excellent work experience in Payroll, Adminstrative and Human Resources. I have worked with various software products, such as ADP, Paychex and Microsoft Windows. I have a full range of Administrative experience, to include typing coorespondences, travel arrangements, Accounts Payables and answering multiple phone lines. I have also worked in Human Resources for over 10 years. I would be happy to pass on my resume for review.

I am NOT interested in a sales position, appointment setter or a start your own business opportunity. I am only interested in working for an established legitament company that would offer benefits, such as Medical and a Retirement plan.

Thank You

Check out the forum at workplacelikehome.com They list leads for work at home jobs all the time.

For extra money also check out the following:
If you like to write you can supplement your income at Associated Content. Also check out Demand Studios, Textbroker, and Suite 101, WordGigs, Ezine Articles, and Hubpages.

If you like to blog or want to get into blogging, check the The Niche Blogger program at http://www.thenicheblogger.com/amember/go.php?r=3549&....
You do have to pay to join, it's 19.95 a month but you can have a free trial to see what it's about. I love this program, Amy, the owner, walks you through what you need to do step by step. You don't need any knowledge about blogging or websites to get started. Also, what is great about this program is that you know it works because it is something that she actually does herself. She started 2 years ago and now she makes $5,000 a month from her blogs. Lot's of other people also make a full time income following the steps in her program.

Also, check out KGB or ChaCha.com. Neither will give you a full time income, but it can help supplement your income. These are great because it requires no phone work and you can set your own schedule up.

Check out www.TreasureTrooper.com/minella I made 58$ last month and I did about an hour ever week night while I was watching TV. It's free to do and it's a very easy way to make extra money. I think of it as a hobby that makes me money.

If you have Facebook, check out http://cloudcrowd.com/i/65abd6 They offer tasks for you to do. I've heard it's very easy. I don't have any personal experience with it yet, but I am starting it today. But I have heard good things about it.

There is also Amazon Mturk. It's where you get paid to do simple tasks. It's a great way to earn extra money. If you like to look for products online or help other people find good deals on items, check out IMShopping, you can get money for answering peoples questions.

There are also at home call center jobs, such as West at Home and Live Ops.

If you keep an eye on my blog at www.makemoneyonline.tonoftips.net I will be talking about a work at home opportunity every 3-4 days. I just started it the other day, so I don't have much information on it yet.
If you have any questions about any of this, I would be more than happy to answer them.

I also wanted to add that you can sign up to test websites. Check out userlytics or usertesting. They both pay 10 dollars per test and take about 10 minutes to complete. I signed up with both, but have only done a test with Userlytics. It was very easy and they paid the next day.

There have been so many of these requests lately and I hate seeing the moms who honestly post a request get bombarded with sales pitches from others who often have "opportunity of a lifetime", etc. "Just make a small investment", blah blah blah................. PLEASE be wary. MLM's can be very tricky and suck you in before you know it to those unaware of them.

Check with a temp agency to see what types of clients they have and how they would use someone like you. A lot of corporations would be interested in talent who could work at home because it would save them money. Accounting firms are busy like crazy now, try them.

Also, working at home is a JOB and TIME-CONSUMING....I am speaking from experience. You must be disciplined to do it.

Best wishes.

I get a little sad when people are so down on MLMs. I used to be one of those people! I learned, however, that like ANY business, there are good and bad MLMs out there. If a business sounds appealing to you just do your research before jumping in...like you should for ANY business. There are a lot of people making an honest living and offering honest products through MLMs.

Hi, alot of large corporations have telecommuting jobs available. Studies have shown that telecommuters are more productive so employers are taking this into consideration. Please keep in mind that most employers that allow telecommuting require you have alternative arrangements for childcare...meaning the kids can't be at home when you're working. I have been telecommuting for several years now. I recommend you view major employer job postings according to your interests.

All I can say is be careful if you look through Craigslist.com - I tried there a while back and it was all scams. Of course they require that you follow through with the scam, but I was a bit aware what they wanted after they advertise that I had to go through their credit check... I might be dumb going through craigslist.com for the jobs, but not dumb enough to use their credit checks or giving them personal info.

Good luck! Hope you find work that will suit your family!

There are so many of these postings lately. It's crazy! Do a search in mamapedia and see what other responses are. http://www.mamapedia.com/ I found ‘the right’ work from home job a couple of months ago. I'm not making millions (yet!! haha), but its helping us save money and make money right now. I still have my full-time job and someday I may be working from home completely. But for now, this works! Let me know if you want more information and we can talk.

Hi J.
Your question is just fine. You're seeking a way to remain home with kids and having to sift through what's good for you will be worth it given the goal that you have. With that being said, you don't have to be afraid to explore anything, even if it is an mlm. Not being educated on what's out there is what should make you afraid.

One thing to know is a work at home "job" is different than a work at home "opportunity". So, decide if you want to work for someone or work for yourself. If you work for yourself, expect to invest in your own business. Nothing wrong with that. Just examine the opportunity clearly and decide if the investment is worth it. I did that very thing almost 6 years ago and I'm still with the same company. My investment was extremely low and made back in less than 60 days.

If you decide to work for someone, then I would expect them to pay for all you need to be set up in your home. Why should you pay them to work for them???

Hi Robin
I have 3 small children and researched long and hard for a work at home job. I really wanted to contribute to my family and keep my kids with me during the day. So I did lots of research and I found a great career! I recently have come across a home-based business opportunity with no large investment, no inventory and no risk. It is an Inc. 500 manufacturing company. I work from home with a company that manufactures products that we're already buying elsewhere, but they are better, safer & healthier. We just help set up customer accounts and the company pays us to do so. It has benefited our family so much! I never have to leave my house to be successful! If you would like some more information, please feel free to ask me about how I made it happen for my family! I would love to share the information about our company! I think if you hear all the details about working for this company it will make so much sense to you.

If you would like some additional info. please go to my website at :

http://www.BeHomeNow.biz

You can view the link that says view more and then if you would like me to contact you, please click the link that says Get More Info. Now! and leave some basic information and I will get back to you!

Hi there,
I am a SAHM with 3 children and work for a wellness company. The company carries products that you would buy from Target or Walmart, but you get free products for shopping with them and they are safer for your children, home and the enviroment. We make our money by setting up new customers and the difference between this and tupperware or something similar is you aren't buying anything you don't need. Your just switching who you buy from. If you would like more info, please contact me at ____@____.com and I would be happy to help you get started! Good luck and I hope that you find what you are looking for, even if it's not with me!
