6 Telecommuting Job Seekers' Questions and Answers

noreply@blogger.com (JobsInClerical) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 08:40:00 +0000

By S McIntyre

There is thousands of work at home job seekers searching online for a telecommuting job. There are also common questions asked about telecommuting every day.

Here is a basic guide you can print out and use for your reference.

1. What is telecommuting? Telecommuting is working offsite in your home office or at a remote location other than your employer's place of business. You communicate with your employer by telephone, email, fax or instant messenger.

2. What do I need to telecommute? Each company require different computer hardware specifications. Many prefer desktop PC/Windows over Mac and laptops. Here are some of the basics and what companies may or may not allow:

- Internet connection - DSL is fine, but not satellite - At least 1Ghz-2Ghz processor, Windows XP or higher, Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, a minimum of 512MB of RAM, sound card, speaker, antivirus and spyware protection, firewall - MS Word, Excel, Adobe Reader etc. - Other equipment may include fax machine, printer or scanner and a quiet workspace.

3. Will I be an employee or Independent Contractor? It will depend on the company. Most companies offer Independent Contractor (IC) status so you don't receive health benefits, vacation or sick pay, taxes aren't taken out etc. Instead ICs will receive a 1099 form for income tax purposes.

4. What types of jobs are available for telecommuters? There are a wide range of jobs suitable for telecommuting. There are many more, but here is a brief list:

- Appointment Setting - Accountant/Bookkeeper - Customer Service - Data Entry - Editor - Graphic Artist - Journalist - Quality Assurance - Teacher/Tutor - Transcription - Virtual Assistant - Web Designer - Writer

5. Do companies provide training? Again, some companies offer paid training while others do not. Many will only hire telecommuters who have skills and previous experience. Some require on-site training and working on-site three months to a year before you're allowed to telecommute.

6. Do I have to pay any fees to work at home? No. You should never have to pay any registration or training material fees. Not all companies absorb the cost for a background, credit and or drug check. These fees are usually about $30-$50. Remember though, if you're paying out of your own pocket, be sure you have a job offered. Transcription and customer service jobs usually require a foot pedal and or headset and you are required to purchase these either from the company or on your own.

Telecommuting Resume Tips

noreply@blogger.com (JobsInClerical) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:59:00 +0000

By Nell Taliercio

You might be familiar with the layouts of resumes for job positions that are done in brick and mortar buildings. Telecommuting job resume layouts are much the same as the others, but there are some things that should be done differently. The focus should take on a slightly different path.

Jobs that are done in brick and mortar buildings focus a lot on your skills, education and experiences in previous positions. Telecommuting jobs are the same, but they also need to show that you are capable of working from a home office- away from the main company.

Also, on the site jobs generally have less applicants, so an employer can read through each resume they receive. Telecommuting positions can be quite popular, so most employers don't have time to go through the hundreds they usually receive. In this case, your resume will need to stand out so that it has a higher chance of getting noticed.

When developing a resume for your telecommuting position, keep these things in mind:

Focus your experiences or skills on what pertains to the job you're applying for- If you're looking to apply to a virtual assistant position, then focus all your previous job positions or skills that relate to that, such as office assistant etc. Leave out anything that doesn't pertain to the position, like babysitting.

Don't forget to include jobs that include experience working from home- If any of your previous positions allowed you to work from your home office, even for a couple of days a week, then include it. Let your employers know that you have some experience working away from the main office.

Computer skills- Be sure to include your computer skills. Virtual assistants use various types of software programs, so let your prospective employer know what programs you can use efficiently. If you're certified in any program that you might need to use on the job, let them know.

Typing or Data entry speed- If you're applying to a position where there's a lot of typing or data entry involved, then be sure to let your prospective employer know what you're current typing speed or Data entry speed is. You can go online to test yourself if you're not quite sure what they are.

Have two different types of resumes- Most people use word to type their resume into. That's great for attaching to emails and sending off to the hiring managers. But, you should also have an ASCII text resume to paste into the body of the email. Some companies won't open attachments for fear of viruses and some attachments accidentally get deleted. Having your resume properly formatted in the body of the email eliminates that problem.

When compiling your information to put into your resumes, be sure to place the items that grab attention first and work your way down. If your educational background is stronger than your work experience, then start off with your education entries. Once their attention is grabbed, they'll want to read on to the rest of what the resume contains.

So, take your old resume for onsite jobs out and look it over. What can you do to spice it up and help land you the telecommuting position you're hoping to land?

Interviewing for a Telecommute Position

noreply@blogger.com (JobsInClerical) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:48:00 +0000

By Kathy Tyson

Interviews are conducted slight differently in regards to telecommuting positions. Sometimes interviews can be conducted from the phone or via an online conference room. Since you are not within the employer's view, your diction an attitude really makes a difference in getting that dream job or continuing your hunt again.

Before accepting an interview from any employer, make sure to find out all about that particular job. You will know if an employment opportunity is a scam if there is not a time set-up for a formal interview, whether this is online or on the phone. Some other "red flags" to consider is if the employer will not describe in full detail about the position at hand. If an employer does not ask about your experience or employment history then this is probably not the right position for you since the employer was not interested in what you are looking for in regards to employment.

Often a person's attitude can easily be detected by their voice. The way in which you use words or your vocabulary is important because you word usage can show your creativity. As with any job interview, the same rules are applied.

If you are required to be in an online conference room and phone at the same time, it is best to log in at least 10 minutes ahead of time. This is the same as if you were meeting in a brick and mortar building for your interview. During your interview process, you should always ask questions for a better understanding. The worst that can happen in a telecommuting situation is miscommunication. This is where the dilemma occurs.

A great remote interview would involve engaging in an informative conversation with the employer and asking as many questions as possible.

Today's Hottest Job: Resume Tips For Health Care Professionals

As a health care professional, creating a resume for your field is somewhat different that all other corporate professional resumes. There are certain elements of professional experience and education that play a significant part in the health care industry and make a difference in attracting the employer’s attention.

Therefore, to compose a winning resume as a health care professional, you will need to consider and include the following information:

Indicate how many patients or clients you have taken care of. Whether you are a nurse in a large hospital, or manage financial accounts at the small doctor’s practice, it is important to indicate to your future employer how many people you have dealt with on daily basis, and how you have addressed any concerns that arise from taking care of people in sensitive situations.

List all of the training that you have acquired, beyond your education that makes you qualified for a specific area in the health care industry. Beyond the training you have completed that is job specific, consider listing any other training in management, communications, ethics, etc. While this type of training may not be required for the job that you are seeking, it does show your employer that you have transferable skills and that you are interested in understanding the broad aspect of the industry.

Certifications and licenses are a critical aspect of the health care industry. Make sure that you list all your licenses, and their valid dates. Additionally, consider any programs, continuing education courses, or government regulations that you are compliant with; all of these items should be included in your resume. Not only do they highlight your qualifications, but also provide assurance to your potential employer that you meet all the requirements of the city, state and federal agencies in order to be employed in your field.

Your professional summary must list a clear professional goal. It is important that you demonstrate to your employer that you have a vast knowledge of the health care industry, and that you have a career path in mind. If you are new to health care, use the professional summary to highlight your education and practical work that qualifies you for the position you are seeking.

Use industry jargon, but exercise caution. Don’t try to replace certain medical terms with common phrases. Feel free to demonstrate your knowledge of the field by using terminology that is specific to health care. However, don’t over use the same terms, or phrases, and don’t use jargon excessively. While you want to give an impression that you know what you are talking about, you don’t want to overuse jargon and turn off the recruiter that may be the initial contact for your resume review.

Technical skills are necessary, and therefore, you should list them on your resume. Indicate your skills in specific software programs, and don’t be shy about making your computer literacy known to your employer. Health care industry relies heavily on technology and employers actively look for candidates with specific computer skills. Make sure that your resume clearly outlines your technical qualifications.

Tips On Listing Certifications And Licenses In Your Resume.

Your resume is a compilation of your professional life; from your education to summer internships, from publications to technical skills, it is critical that your resume includes anything that would help you get the job that you are interested in. Most professionals make a mistake of focusing on experience and education only. As a result, they disregard any additional information, such as certifications they have in their field, that would enhance their qualifications and assure that they stand out from the competition.

Any professional certifications and licenses that impact your career and your ability to do your job should be listed on your resume. This concept is straight forward for those professionals who cannot actually perform their jobs without having a license to do so. This is the case for teachers, real estate agents, medical professionals, etc. If you are in a profession that requires specific certifications and/or licenses, your resume should contain a section specific to this information. The heading should state “Professional Certifications” or “Professional Licenses”. You should list, in reverse chronological order, any certifications and licenses that you have acquired in your professional experience.

However, it is a lot harder to consider this information and include it on your resume if your professional field doesn’t require any certifications or licenses.

For example, having a certificate from a seminar on managing multiple projects may not be required in order for you to do your job effectively. However, such a certificate can be very helpful in virtually any field, and if included on your resume, it can help you stand out from the crowd of available professionals and catch the employer’s attention.

Consider any courses or training seminars you attended in your professional career. Don’t forget to include any courses you may have taken as part of the training at a current or at a previous job.

For example, if you have completed a course on using Microsoft Access Database as part of the training on your current job, and you know that you will be required to work with this program in a new position that you are seeking, make a note of this on your resume.

Treat the list of licenses and certifications as you do your professional experience; make a list, in reverse chronological order, and consider which of the items you listed are relevant to your professional goals. Your resume should have no more than five most recent certifications and licenses. List the date when the certificate or license was obtained; if you took a course over time, for example, indicate the completion date in form of month and year only. The exact name of the certificate or the license should be listed, along with an issuing organization. No additional information is necessary for this area of your resume. Additionally, make sure to highlight any certification and licenses in the cover letter if they promote your qualifications for the job you are seeking.

If the listing of licenses or certifications is lengthy, you can include this information on a separate sheet of paper. You should always list a few most recent items; however if the listing exceeds five items, let the potential employer know that additional information is available upon request. Your resume or your cover letter can point out this information, as well as highlight only those elements that promote you as the best candidate for the job.

Cover Letter Must Haves!

Before we discuss what your cover letter should contain in order for the employer to take notice and review your resume, it is critical that understand the importance of having a cover letter.

The most commonly made mistake in resume submissions is not including a copy of your cover letter. If you are emailing your resume, the cover letter can be included in the body of the email, or attached (although employers typically prefer no attachments in email submissions). If you are faxing or mailing your resume, assure that the cover letter comes before the resume. Omitting a cover letter from your job application appears unprofessional to your potential employer; having a well-written, personalized cover letter allows the employer to get an insight into who you are, how you communicate and how you present yourself as a professional.

Here are some great tips on composing a winning cover letter to accompany your resume:

Address the letter to the appropriate person. The biggest mistake professionals make is not taking the time to address their cover letter to the appropriate person, such as the recruiter or the hiring manager. Take the time to address your cover letter to the appropriate person; if the job description does not include a person as a contact, take queue from the text and address the letter to the team listed as the contact. Using generic lines, such as “To whom it may concern,” is not acceptable on a cover letter.

Know what the goal of your cover letter is and express it clearly, and concisely. Sell yourself in the best possible light; make sure that you sound confident professional in your cover letter. Concentrate on the positives, and highlight those qualifications that make you a perfect candidate for the job. Even if you are insecure in your qualifications, or feel that you may be slightly under-qualified for the job, put your best foot forward.

Customize your cover letter to the position you are applying for. It is very important that your cover letter address why you are the best person for the job you are seeking. This includes indicating the job title in the cover letter. Generic statements, or statements indicating that you are interested in any open position with the company, make you appear unprofessional and unprepared.

Answer these two questions: why do you want this particular job, and what can you do for the company? These two questions must be addressed in the cover letter in order to let your employer know that you are serious about your interest, that you have considered the opportunity and how it fits with your professional goals, and what you are willing to bring to the table in order to benefit the organization you want to work for.

Proof your cover letter. Errors and misspellings leave a poor impression on the employer.

Close the cover letter by indicating to your potential employer when you intent to follow up on your application. Do not end the letter with a statement that leaves it up to the employer to call you at their convenience. Let the employer know that you want to follow up, when and how you will do so. This confirms your interest in the position, and your professional etiquette.

Note, you must follow up when and how you indicated on the cover letter.

Make Your Resume Scannable

Most job applications are now done electronically, and most employers, no matter the job level, request a resume from the candidates. Have you ever wondered why employers would request resumes from all candidates, when it can be extremely time consuming to review them all? Employers don’t actually review every resume they receive (make sure to get this right..) ; companies use various software to scan the resumes they receive for key words and content specific to their available positions. Typically, this is the first round of resume review. Your resume has to make it pass the computer-generated scan in order to make it into the hands of the hiring manager.

While your resume may be well-written and well-formatted, it may not be scannable. This may be the reason why you are not receiving calls from potential employers, even if you have great qualifications for the job.

To make your resume scannable, follow these tips:

• Special formatting may cause certain letters in words to touch, and blend into one character. This is especially the case if a word is bolded or italicized. Make sure that you review your resume and revise any parts where letters are joined together, so that the words can be scanned.

• Font type and font size are very important for both your printed and electronic resume. When the resume is scanned, it is important that the font is recognizable by the software. Stick to the basic fonts, such as Ariel and Times New Roman, and to the basic font size, such as 10 or 12 points.

• Do not underline words or phrases in your resume. In an electronic format, underlining implies that the text links to another document or a web site. Additionally, do not have any lines in the resume that touch the text, as this will prevent the resume from being scannable.

• All the text in your resume should read from left to right in order for your resume to be scannable. No special formatting, such as tables, or columns, should be contained within your electronic resume.

• Do not use special characters that may not be recognized by scanning software. This includes special formatting of bullets, use of ampersands or percent signs, copyright signs, or any other characters that may not be easily recognizable by scanning software. If you are quantifying information on your resume, make sure to spell out the percentage instead of using “%” as you are indicating increase in sales, for example. Whenever possibly, avoid using signs or special characters in your resume.

• Even if you submit a printed resume, the document may be scanned for key words to match your qualifications with available positions. It is very important that your submission is on plain white paper, in basic font type and size. If you are submitting multiple pages, make sure that all the pages are numbered, with your name in the top left corner. Do not staple multiple pages. If you do so, only the top page will be scanned.

• The most important element of a scannable resume is the selection of active keywords, or power words. Do your research and make sure that you use the appropriate keywords in your resume that apply toward the position you are seeking. Having appropriate keywords throughout your resume makes it easier for the software to find matches when scanning the document.

Helpful tip: review the employer’s job requirements for keywords. What are the required qualifications for the job? Make sure that your resume contains the same terminology as that on the job description, without direct copying of the text, of course. When your resume is scanned, the software will pick up these key words and you can be one step closer to landing your dream job.
