It should come to no surprise that most people would love to work from home instead of the conventional job. It’s the ultimate goal for many; especially after many years of working a nine to five job under a demanding boss and stressful timelines. People get tired of their monotonous lives’ and want something more.

What is thought of as a typical job involves you just scraping by paycheck to paycheck. As I heard it many times before the word “job” is short for Just Over Broke (J.O.B.).

– Asks for your social security number ( this is only required after you have been hired )
– Has an application fee ( you should not have to pay to apply for a job )
– Over promises, pay rate far above normal for such a job, ie too good to be true
– Require you to signup for a service or purchase items
– Wants you to install an application on your computer or phone. Some tech companies will have you install a system tester tool to make sure your computer is up to the requirements. Do your research before installing any software on your computer or mobile device.

In fact, we have moved to a very remote area and still work from home full time. Anyone can do it if they really want to put their mind to it.
