Find a Telecommuting Job in Less than an Hour a Day

Nov 21, 2001 - © Leslie Truex

the directions the announcement supplies. Use the open documents to cut and paste your information to be sent. Be sure to customize the resume and other materials so that your application fits the specific job. Add a brief introduction to your email responses. Again, make it specific to the job.

5. Once you have taken care of emailed job announcements, click on your book marked job search sites and conduct your job search. I generally use "telecommute" and "work at home" as my search words. Note that sometimes "work at home" is in a job application but refers to work at home office meaning the businesses base office. I generally put "work at home" in quotes in the search box because it is a phrase.

6. Apply to jobs you find in your search just as you did with your emailed jobs. Some job search sites do allow you to have your resume posted and you can send it with a click of a button. If you do this, try to have your resume generic enough to fit the different jobs to which you may apply but not so generic that your skills don't fit any job. I once heard that the resume is designed to get you interviewed not to get the job. Its better to have a newsletter that just gives a little information; just enough to make you interesting. Too much information can put you in the reject pile.

Once you get used the system above, you should be able to send off several resumes in an hour... assuming you find work to which you want to apply. There are many great search sites and hundreds of jobs. Through consistent effort you will find announcements. Through a systematic approach to applying for work, you will find a job.
