Subject: Web Promotion Specialist?

Question
Is this job for real?  Can CCI really get you a job when you are done?  I saw this article by Rick Myers, Web Promotion Specialist, a WEVZ TV Action News Report, I don't feel like being scammed by this.  
I am a stay-at-home-mom who has just moved form Michigan to North Carolina and my kids are home by 2 o'clock every day.
I need a job that I can work from home and MAKE MONEY!!
I obviously can't get a job when my kids get home so early.
So can you please tell me if this a legit program and they get you a job and pay you back!
Thanks

Answer
Hi April,
From what I understand, this program is a course. How it can guarantee work, I don't know. Work at home jobs, like other jobs require skills and experience. The program may teach you what you need to know, but they can't guarantee how well you'll learn it and therefore can't guarantee that you'll be hired.

Further, last I looked, this program talked specifically about using articles to market. However, a title like web promotion specialist should cover other marketing like SEO, link partnerships, PR, and more. So, I'm skeptical of this program.

Work-at-home jobs require skills and experience like any other job. However, if you have some basic skills, you can find something flexible at home. Customer service, virtual assistance and transcribing are growing fields. But again, you need to be able to show an employer you have the skills to do the work.
