Some Tips To Get The Work From Home Job You Want Instead of Rejection

Have you stacked the odds in your favor? It’s not always possible to just “wing” it and get there, not all of us are good at that.

You need to have researched the type of work and the company before you apply to determine how you would answer questions posed by them. To someone who is new at this, it can be very intimidating, regardless of how capable you really are, especially if you haven’t worked for a paycheck in a while, or if you have worked at one place for a long time and suddenly find yourself looking for work again.

For instance, when in an interview (whether by phone or an online application) you are asked question(s) pertaining to why you would be a good fit for the job you need to be ready to answer with what you have to offer of value to the company. Remember they are concerned with what skills, abilities, experience and dedication you will bring, as they truly want to stack the odds in their favor that you will boost their income and be a reliable asset to them.

Just because you want the job since it would fit your lifestyle -- around your family -- or you really need to work to help support your family -- that's quite honestly not likely what they want to hear; and sadly, probably don’t even care about hearing it – being “needy” could even hurt your chances. You would instead play up that yes, your circumstances fit what they need and want (you would need to be sure of this before you apply or interview).

In today’s business world, besides testing your skills, (testing the personableness and clarity of your voice, and even check on your ability of quick thinking for telephone work), some companies also insist on doing background checks and credit checks that you have to pass. You might even have to pay for this, pass or fail, and you might still not get the work.

Right now, most any job, whether you are an IC or telecommute as an employee, is all about flawless production, ramping up that production, and strict adherence to many rules. Many of these can be more than a bit onerous and even unfair at times. It is, however, to the company’s gain to manage their business as they have a vast pool of resources (you and thousands of others) from which to choose.

When a company is hiring, it really is all about them. You have to be ready to answer questions that are oriented toward the good of the company first. If you fear a question about prior employment and you haven't had paid employment for awhile, it shouldn't hurt to include your volunteer experience and how it relates to the work for which you want to apply.

It could be a big help you to start working at home without that kind of stress -- to gradually build your confidence without the threat of so much hanging over your head.

Whether you are a newbie at applying as an IC or not, you can begin to gain and grow in confidence and ability by starting a simple home business of your own. This one could surprise you and be just what you are looking for without all the hassles and thousands of rules.
