Career Builder - Work at home, legit?

[Breny]

I keep getting this in my Career Builder emails. I'm wondering if its legit?

Does anyone know?

[Breny]

sorry I can't get the link to post without it showing my personal info

[mminichan]

oh can u just copy and paste the area u want/could show us?

Breny...I would venture to guess any work at home gig would not have to rely on soliciting employees via emails.

These jobs are found much as the usual way...via ads or employment agencies where YOU are applying to them for the position.


I have several friends in the insurance industry that work from home and a few in computer related fields. I mean there are actually employers who pay them a paycheck....not positions...such as bookkeeping...where YOU are working for yourself.

Requirements
These people made a choice that changed their lives…

My fiancé and I were married in November 2002. Lori was working a dead end banking job and I was finishing off a business administration degree with minors in finance and accounting. After four years of University and jobs in both the banking and retail sales industry I knew that working for myself was the only way to go!– Cory Reynods

I worked in various forms Information Technology for the past 31 years and my wife had always worked in administrative support and customer service. We wanted the security that having our own successful business would give our family and we wanted more time with our kids. So when I got laid off from my last J.O.B. and found this opportunity we just knew that this was our answer. I've never experienced vacations and hospitality like i do now– Don Wilder

After spending years in retail management and in the construction industry, we were tired of keeping someone else’s schedule! Too tired at the end of the day to enjoy our family, never even had time to take our children to dinner in a restaurant, we decided to look for a better way. This business was the answer for us, as it allowed us to earn income from home, on our terms. It's been two years now, and we are both running this business full-time. Our dreams are becoming a reality– Anne Bullen

I had worked as a lab technician for a number of years, but when we had children, daycare costs blew me away. I decided to stay at home and work around my family using my computer and now I make more money than I did working full-time!– Shannon Dyck

I had spent 20 years working in a dead-end job doing marketing & advertising. My husband works in engineering and even with two incomes, we were purchasing more on credit than we were banking from our full time jobs. Working part time, I earned an extra $600 in my first month and after only 18 months, I was banking more than $6,000 a month full-time.– Karen Winter

Tip...they want $39.95 of your money. That's their work at home business...convincing people to send them 40 bucks.

I understand why you'd like to find a job where you could work from home. I think it all depends on what your qualifications are...for the companies who presently offer this.

[Breny]

yes I know not to send them 39.95, but for them to be on career builder had me wondering. Wishful thinking I guess

[yorkiegirl83]

I read somewhere that any organization which requires any type of sign up fee to work is not legit.

I have been looking for work at home jobs too, but there aren't too many out there it seems.

Me too...I type up things for my son's teacher...but it is for free...no money..with my medical problems extending into my joints now...It would be heaven sent to actually find something I could do from home!

GOOD post - I was going to say the same thing - any company asking YOU to pay to work for them I'd be leery of

when they ask for $ I always think it's just another internet scam. There ARE work from home companies that are legit like- 1800Flowers.com - but the pay REALLY SUCKS....If you just want to earn extra cash it's ok - but like I said - pay really sucks

[BamaFan121s]

I found that most of those things usually are some kind of gimmick. You know the old saying, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

[KellyV]

I may know of something legit that can be done from home.... Send me a PM if you're interested.
