Since you are reading this article I'll assume you are interested in finding free online jobs you can do working from home.
Search the Internet, and you'll find no end of free job offers working from home and earning ridiculous amounts of money. Why do you think it is that people instantly dismiss job postings offering eighty plus dollars an hour working part-time, but when they are advertised on the Internet people lap it up?
My guess is that people have some serious misconceptions about the Internet from a lack of credible information about online jobs and working from home, and an over-exposure to all of the hype put out by fraudsters.
Don't get me wrong, I know you can earn some serious money online, but it's my experience you aren't going to do it part-time on your first attempt.
What you can do first time through is find a stable online job that can provide an income and eventually lead to replacing your full time job, providing you do your research and know what you are getting into ahead of time.
Where can you look for free online jobs working from home?
The Internet is going to be your best friend in this process. Websites such as Craigslist, Elance, and Freelancer are all reputable websites that are dedicated to providing quality postings and job offerings. Depending on the type of job you are looking for, you will want to explore all three websites for options.
You wouldn't just take the first regular job you were offered, and the same applies online, if you have the chance explore your options, learn what the employer expects and what pay and benefits you can expect.
Just like you would with a regular job in the real world, expect to go through the interview process - although with online jobs this can often be via email or over the phone - sometimes even via skype or instant messenger.
Can You Prepare In Advance?
If the online position you are hoping to get involves any sort of content creation, such as an author or journalist, an artist or graphic designer, you will want a well prepared extensive digital portfolio.
For these, and for any other online jobs such as virtual assistant, or call center support, you'll want an up-to-date resume tailored specifically with your skills and experience relevant to the position you are looking to apply for.
Remember that you can often trial positions on a part-time basis during your evening hours or over the weekend if you want to try a change in profession, or try the 'working from home' thing out before you take the plunge.
