The best way to ensure that your application
is seen by the company(s) hiring for the position(s) you select
is to submit your resume. Most of the hiring managers will
review only those applications that have a resume submitted.
After you complete this form, you'll be given an opportunity to
submit a resume. If you don't have one handy, you will
also receive an email with directions on how to submit your
resume anytime in the next few days.
This Week's Success Story

another employment website. I applied last week for
several of the positions, and I just finished my 2nd interview
for a customer service job. I will be starting after Labor
DAy working part-time from home.. I'm so excited!

Are You Interested In a Home-Business?
At Work At Home Weekly, we try hard to find
the best home-based jobs available for our readers.
However, the truth is there are more people looking for these
jobs then there are open positions. In fact, many of our
employers get so many applications, they fill their positions
before they've even contacted each applicant.
Its because of this that we suggest that
anyone interested in working from home consider a
home-business. But beware - not all home businesses are
the same, and there are many that won't help you reach your
goals at all.
But the good news - there are a select number
of home-based businesses that anyone can be successful with - the
problem is finding out which ones they are without trying and
failing with all the others.
We've made it easy - simply complete a
quick, no-commitment survey about your earning desires, and
you'll receive information on the top-earning home-businesses
available! Just use the link below and receive your
information today.
5
Ways To Save Money on your Virtual Home Office
By Anne Myer @
The Home
Careers Blog
When most people get their first home job,
they are so excited at all the possibilities opening up with
their new career. That excitement continues as we purchase those
much needed computer upgrades, the new monitor, and install
another phone line. Of course we need a more comfortable chair,
maybe a new cordless phone... before we know it, we've spent our
first month's pay... and we haven't even started working yet!
Well, from several years experience, there are 5 services that I
highly recommend for any serious home-worker. You may not need
all of these right now, but if you are serious about your
home-career, you'll probably eventually need each of these.
1. Google Applications. Free. https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount
Have you seen everything that Google offers these days? This has
become an extremely beneficial and crucial service for the
home-worker on a budget. First, there's GMail, a powerful email
program that allows you to manage your email online at your
computer, on your cell phone or blackberry, or on your laptop...
all with seamless integration!
Then there are Google Documents, an entirely online suite of
programs that allow you to create, maintain, save and even share
word-processing documents and spreadsheets.
Plus Google Calendar is a terrificly user-friendly online
calendar system that allows you to create repeating
appointments, share calendars with others, publish parts of your
calendar to the web... you can even view/manage your calendar
with your cell-phone.
All of this is free... and now you can even manage your own
domain, providing all these services to your own users! We'll
talk about that in another post, another day.
2. Vonage. $24.95 /month plus equipment costs. http://www.vonage.com
This service is a no-brainer for anyone concerned with
long-distance fees involved in maintaining your own home office.
If you have high-speed internet, you can get one or more Vonage
phone lines with unlimited long distance, voicemail, call
waiting, call forwarding, and many more useful features for
about twenty-five dollars a month. I was amazed when we
converted our two home office lines about three years ago. Our
old phone bill was always around $250 per month. After we
started using the Vonage lines, our phone bill was around $60
per month (we had a couple extra features like a fax line and
additional local numbers in other towns.)
Their customer service is not the best, so if you think you're
going to need help on how to setup your new equipment, you might
try purchasing from a Best Buy store, where you can ask the
clerk to talk you through the process. You will need to purchase
a router, which can cost around $50, but they usually run some
sort of rebate.. I got mine free, and most of the time they
offer a basic router at no cost. You can plug in a regular phone
to the router, so if you have already bought that perfect phone
for your desk, don't worry!
3. Accessline. $8.95 - $59.95 / month. http://www.accessline.biz/
There are a few services that Accessline provides. Over the
years I have had reason to use each of these services for their
various uses.
Their basic service is their SmartMessage, which costs $8.95 a
month. You get a personal phone number in the area code of your
choice that will take messages or receive faxes for you. Its a
great option if you want a simple phone system to take messages
for all incoming calls.
If you need more functionality, take a look at their FollowMe
number for just under twenty dollars per month. You still get
your own standard phone number, but you can have the calls
connect to you where ever you are. Have calls go to your home
phone, your office phone, your cell... and change the answering
rules either online or over the phone. This is a must have for
anyone who is always on the go... give out just one phone
number, and your important calls will find you wherever you go.
Finally, when you need a true virtual office presence, you'll
want their SmartOffice system which runs just under sixty
dollars per month. With the SmartOffice, you get a fully
customizable auto attendant system at a fraction of the cost.
Setup extensions with different answering rules, leave recorded
messages, and setup different menus all online. We use the
SmartOffice for our business because when our customers call,
they hear a professional system that routes them to the
appropriate person using our voice-prompts, or by entering the
extension number of the person they wish to reach.
If you are a Costco customer, make sure to order from within
Costco's Services website. As a member, you'll get a huge
savings on your startup costs and monthly rate!
4. VistaPrint. Free. http://www.vistaprint.com
If you decide to become a Virtual Assistant, or operate any
other home business, you'll probably need printing services at
some point. VistaPrint is one of the best deals on the internet
today. You can get high-quality business cards free... just pay
a small shipping fee. You can order the free cards as often as
you wish, full color and printed on quality card stock. Of
course, they are hoping you'll use them for all your printing
needs, from post cards to stationary, from checks to post-it
notes, from T-shirts to magnets... all personalized by you
online.
VistaPrint has taken the bite out of printing costs.
5. USPS Click-n-Ship. $ Regular postal rates. http://www.usps.com
This isn't as big of a money-saver as a time-saver. However,
when you are juggling your home-career with your home-life, time
is money!
That's why I think that the postal service's website is one of
today's best technilogical advances! First, you can order stamps
online. And you can order the samps you want. Whether you want
the rolls of flag stamps or the newest Disney stamps, you can
order them all, and within 2-3 days they'll arrive with your
mail for just $1 shipping.
Plus, you can use their Click-n-ship to print other postage,
like Priority or Express mail. I'd advise against buying the
labels they recommend, you can pickup labels that work from your
local office-supply store for a fraction of the cost. Order your
shipping supplies online too, get free envelopes for your
Express mail delivered right to you.
All of this means never having to stand in line at the Post
Office again!
I hope you found a couple of useful ideas on how you can save
money on your Home Office. Thanks for reading!
