Telecommuting is a wonderful option for anyone who would prefer working at
home to working in an employer’s office. The benefits of having a
telecommuting job are immense especially for parents who want to be at home
with young children. Imagine having an extra hour in the morning and
evening to spend with your family because you don’t have any drive time.
Also imagine not having to spend as much time or money on the clothes
required to work in a professional office. Granted, you may have to go to
an occasional outside meeting every once in a while, but for the most part,
it’ll just be you and your computer and the computer doesn’t care what you
wear.

Finding a telecommuting job isn’t always easy but for the well-skilled job
seeker, there are many jobs to be found. Tenacity and patience are the
attributes you will need to make your way through the maze of finding the
job you’re seeking. Below is outlined one resource– Craigslist.com – that
you can use when you start your search for a telecommuting job. This is not
the only resource available to you, it’s just one of many, but it’s a good
place to start. The jobs are there, you just need to find them.

Craigslist.com is a national classified ad website where a lot of great
jobs get posted, including those looking for work at home telecommuters.
The website is free to read and it’s free to post as well. It’s become a
very popular place to find jobs that are available. This article will
explain how to find the telecommuting jobs that are advertised.

To find telecommuting jobs, first go to
*http://www.craigslist.com*<http://www.craigslist.com>.
Click on any city in the right-hand column, and then choose a job type in
the column to the left of the city column. It doesn’t matter what type of
job category you choose, we’re going to change that choice anyway.

Once you get to the next page, you’ll see a search box at the top of the
page. Leave the KEYWORDS field blank and change the drop-down box to ALL
JOBS. Then place a check mark in the Telecommute box. Click Search. All the
telecommuting jobs for the city you chose will post to the page.

You will need to click into each job separately to determine if it is a
legitimate job posting or not. Often you will also find regular jobs posted
as telecommuting jobs, so read the postings carefully. Watch out for the
postings that offer more money than what you know to be a normal pay range
for the job you’re seeking, they are probably scams. Also, be careful about
going to interviews, if it’s not in an office building where other people
are around, like at someone’s house, either pass on the offer or explain to
the interviewer that with internet fraud as bad as it is, you would feel
more comfortable meeting in a public place like a restaurant or a coffee
house.

CraigsList doesn’t offer a feature to search the entire country and it’s a
shame because it makes this type of research very time consuming having to
check each city individually. It may be easier for you to set a “Favorites”
folder with all the searches so you can get to each city quickly. You
should consider checking every major city since telecommuting can be done
from anywhere in the country. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a tiny town in
Texas and the company is located in New York City or Los Angeles. Just be
sure to watch the ad to be sure it doesn’t request you to be local to the
employer, some require periodic meetings in their office. And lastly, be
sure to only apply to the most recent entries as these jobs go quickly, no
need to waste your time applying for a job that’s already filled.

Good luck with your job search. A little hard work along with some patience
while seeking out the jobs should help you to be employed in no time.
