Top 3 Reasons You’re Not Getting Hired!

Searching…actually landing a work at home job can be a very frustrating process. Finding the jobs shouldn’t be much of a problem if you know where to find work from home jobs.

Most of us will visit one of your top work at home websites or all of them if you’re smart. Then you spend an hour or two a day applying to the various jobs. Next you wait anxiously for a reply. If you’re anything like me, you’re checking your email every 10 minutes anticipating a response from that sweet lead you hunted down.

A few hours pass and you hear nothing. Oh well, "maybe the employer wasn’t in today." "I’m sure I’ll hear from them tomorrow." You hit the bed filled with hopes of a new day and starting that job you applied for. Next day you wake up, head straight to your computer and damn it, this employer hasn’t contacted you. What The F?

This may sound very familiar to many of you applying to work at home jobs. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you have the skill set being requested but for some reason you’re still not getting hired or even getting a response acknowledging your resume was even reviewed.

Why Aren’t Work At Home Employers Responding To You?

1. Work At Home Employers are more overwhelmed with responses than any type of hiring managers. Think about it, how many people you know wouldn’t want to make a living from home? None! Legit work at home jobs are like diamonds. They’re precious, rare, everyone wants them and they’re pretty hard to find. So when people do find these jobs, everyone applies and the employer can’t handle the response. So they just don’t! The key here is trying to find the leads before everyone else does. Most of the job leads we find in our favorite work at home websites are posted there hour or days after they’ve been online.
Instead of waiting for them,

What To Do:

You should Set up free emailed job alerts at places such as Indeed.com!, GoFreelance.com, Monster.com and Beyond.com! so you’re emailed once employers have posted a job. Why wait on your favorite work at home website to get around re-posting the job on their website? Remember the early bird gets the worm or in this case the job!

2. Your resume sucks! I say this with all due respect and as a former resume suckee. I know it’s harsh but that resume you typed up with your word-processor (remember those?) from back in the 80’s is just as played out as a Member’s Only Jacket. As stated earlier employers are overwhelmed with resumes so if your resume is the one that’s hard to read, or doesn’t have the skills requested prominently displayed then your email goes into their special folder, the trash bin.

What To Do:

Step up your career options by getting your resume professionally written and set yourself apart from your lazy competition who won’t be doing this. Or you can continue to be like them and see how that pans out for you. It’s your choice.

3. You’re actively searching for work but you’re NOT passively searching! I know that doesn’t seem to make much sense. But as counterintuitive as it sounds, often it’s better to let the employers come to you by posting your resume everywhere you can. As I said employers are overwhelmed, so sometimes they shy away from posting home based jobs. And when this occurs they resort to searching resume databases instead. Guess what happens when you’re not in those databases? You end up missing out on tons of jobs!

What To Do:

You better get on the ball and Blast Your Resume Everywhere automatically. Or you can manually visit sites like Indeed.com!, Monster.com or Beyond.com to post your resume. And if you’re wild and crazy you’ll use them all! Just a thought.

Conclusions:
So these are the possible reasons why you’re not hearing jack from all those places you’re applying. I mean there are other reasons such as the job just being filled, etc.  But I’m covering the ones where you can take action and I like doing anything that will give me an edge over my competition. Why leave anything to chance? So hopefully you’re different than all the other work at home seekers and you’ll take action on all the advice I listed above. If not, just continue to do what you’re doing and you’ll get more of  what you’ve already been getting.

    I am an over-worked Case Manager and this job is taking a lot of time away from my 3 kids. 2008 I need change. I appreciate this website looking out for my best interest and providing resourceful information.

    Hi Ihali,

    Thanks for your comments. I think the more time you spend on this blog the more opportunities you’ll find to make money from home.

    Dear Eddy,

    I recently joined your site hoping to find a legit wah position to supplement my fixed income. Every job i have “TRIED” to apply for, in the end, wants money up front, for a diverse number of reasons. As always, i am disappointed and frustrated, what else is new? Obviously, nothing, every time it’s the same thing, promises, promises, and more broken promises.
    Everybody is totally trustworthy, and has a very meaningful reason for taking my money. My frustration brings me to tears, are there any real, trustworthy people left on this planet? I think not.

    Hi Susan,

    Thanks for contacting me. Let’s see if we can help you through your frustration.

    1. Seems to me you’re not actually applying to jobs. You’re probably running into advertiser ads, home based business opportunities and work at home products. They’re not jobs. So you need to learn to figure out the difference and hopefully the information I’m about to provide you will help you become a better educated work at home seeker.

    Now there are some legitimate sites that are paid membership site where they look for free work at home jobs and list them in their members areas such as:

    HomeJobGroup:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/homejobgroup

    HomeJobStop:
    http://www.workathomenoscams.com/homejobstoprecommended

    But we do have a limited list available for free at:
    www.WorkAtHomeNoScams.com/companies
    So you can start on the page above. There are no fees associated with the companies with that page.

    Next we also demonstrated in a video how to find legitimate work at home jobs on your own. If you follow the steps you’ll be able to find some hidden jewels and avoid a lot of the crap out there:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/02/13/how-to-find-jobs-at-home-video/

    2. Change your attitude. Stop thinking like a victim or being a victim and learn to be proactive. I know how frustrating it is to find work at home jobs but no one can scam you or take advantage of you if you follow some basic steps which we’ve covered in great detail in the following video:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/02/27/work-at-home-scams-video/

    and here:
    www.WorkAtHomeCareers.com/scams

    Hopefully this gives you a better starting point.
    Just keep in mind you may visit a lot of work at home sites that have sponsor ads on them. It doesn’t mean the site owners recommend the sponsor ads. If you run into things that request a fee, just follow the steps in the video and page I listed above and you’ll avoid the bad stuff.

    Now I’m going to be brutally honest with you. Even with the information I’ve provided you above the chances of securing a work at home job are very limited and take a very long time. So you have to be in it for the long haul. Personally I always advise my subscribers to try other things in the mean time when applying for conventional jobs such as paid surveys and focus groups as described in the following articles:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/01/08/focus-groups-got-paid-150/
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/12/13/top-5-paid-online-survey-websites/

    But some people argue that those opportunities don’t make them enough. My point of view is that you’re not making any money searching for work at home jobs. So you might as well make some by doing some of these other opportunities as you search.

    So I’m not sure what type of person you are. Hopefully because you’re really serious about working at home you’ll be willing to do all free legitimate work at home opportunities. But if not, I’ve given you some places to start your conventional work at home job search.

    I hope it helps either way.

    Good luck to you.
