Question Hi Leslie
I have been trying to find a legitimate work at home job for months now....well actually almost a year now! I am not having much luck. I have found a few work at home jobs that are legitimate, but they are not hiring right now, or I am not qualified for the job. Leslie, could you give me some websites or information on some legitimate work at home jobs? Thanks :)
Answer Hi Vanessa,
You didn't indicate what type of jobs you were looking for so I can only give you some general information. The truth is there are 100's if not 1000's of work-at-home jobs currently open. But, like traditional jobs, you need to have the skills and experiences. If you aren't having luck, you should consider getting training in an area that there are lots of jobs such as copywriting, web design, or medical transcription. There are community colleges or correspondance courses that offer instruction in these areas.
