6 Telecommuting Job Seekers' Questions and Answers
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
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
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.
