Creating a cover letter format is the next important step for any job application after making a resume.

What do you usually overlook while sending your resume for a job, which is first impression for any employer?

Your Cover Letter.

Most of us do, and it is the most important thing apart from your resume. Some might have a debate over this, but for me, a cover letter is as vital as your resume if you are serious about getting that job.

So, what is it in a cover letter that makes it so important?

A cover letter is something like a short introduction about you in a formal way to the person who is going to hire you.

In a short way, it can tell the person about you and make your resume more desirable.

There are some very necessary points that a cover letter should have (more…)

If you are like me, then you love working from home and do the balancing act every day to meet your deadlines.

Sometimes it makes you go crazy.

Though it’s something I would not give up for anything else in the world, working from home does have its challenges.

You cannot jump into this thinking, it’s an easy task.

It is not.

When I first started working from home, it seemed very exciting and very convenient.

By the end of the first month, I realized that if I don’t keep things in order or organize my time, it will be hard for me to stick with the projects and deliver results on time.

I was so bad with my time management that I almost lost my job.

For me and maybe for most of you the biggest challenges are (more…)

What is the top most common and biggest challenge telecommuters face when working from home?

Productivity.

Though working from home is very flexible and exciting, it does have its downsides, which can be worked out.

Time management, multi-tasking and meeting deadlines becomes all the more important when you work from home.

To manage your time better, you will have to take help of some tools which will automate your daily work routine.

There will always be a debate whether telecommuters are more productive than the office team.

There are many tools and software which do help to keep the productivity levels, especially when working from home.

I have a list of tools which have worked wonders for me and will boost your productivity levels. (more…)

Today you will learn how to make a resume for online jobs.

What is the most important thing when you are applying for a job?

The first step you take when you have found the right job?

Your RESUME.

A resume is the most vital factor in the job application process. It becomes all the more important when you are applying for a work from home job. This is because of the following factors:

• Difference in the process of recruitment for telecommuting jobs
• Resume is your strongest point as you will not be going face to face in most of the jobs
• Recruiters are very strict considering the unconventional method of applying for work from home jobs

This being said, a resume will be pivotal for any job but becomes unique and speaks a lot about you when you are applying for any job which is online. (more…)

This is the million dollar question that everybody is asking as the economy is shifting towards Telecommuting.

Well, there is a straightforward answer for this.

Yes, you can.

You can make a good income or may be even more working from home. If you are just starting out, it will take some time, but it’s possible.

I never believed that I could earn a good income without going to a job. Working from home never appealed to me as a good earning option.

But I went ahead and tried it out and here I am with a good job and high income, all in the comfort of my home.

Most of us don’t believe in the idea of high paying work from home jobs or telecommuting jobs because it sounds too good to be true. (more…)

Dream of working from home in your PJ’s and earn a real income?

Welcome to the new age of remote workers who make it a reality. Working from Home or Telecommuting is the way of future now with more and more companies going strong in this trend.

I started working from home in 2008, and options were very less at that time. Now the opportunities are more and more, and more people are choosing to go for remote work.

Many of my friends ask me how to work from home or which companies offer work from home positions, so I have made a long list of jobs which are remote or freelance.

Here it goes!!

Everybody dreams of working from home. But the hard part is finding the companies which hire these positions.

You can easily find some companies which hire sporadically but it’s a bit of task to find companies which regularly recruit work from home people.

Telecommuting companies are increasing since last 4 years and the biggest reason for this being the better work life balance. Totally cutting back on commuting, more productivity and better quality of work are some of the high points which make remote work more lucrative option.

Finding the companies which primarily opt for remote workers is hard when there are so many scams around. When I started out working from home, it took a while to figure out which companies are authentic ones to apply for jobs. (more…)
