Where To Find Home Based Work In Hard Economic Times

If you have lost your job recently, you may be looking for some type of work you can do from home. The idea of saving money by not commuting and by not needing to wear profesional attire every day is very attractive.

The type of home based job you are most likely to find is either as a telephone customer service rep or doing some type of virtual assistant work.

Many businesses are discovering the hard way that their customers prefer dealing with representatives in their own country, rather than half way around the world. Unfortunately no matter how nice those people are or how hard they try to please, there is a language accent barrier that is almost impossible to overcome. Therefore many companies are hiring local customer service reps to meet their customers' needs. You can find a well-maintained and always updated selection when you sign up with Ignotius.

Virtual Assistants do everything an office manager or "Gal Friday" might do, but usually only for one person. When you find the right match - your skills and their needs - the arrangement can last for years. Virtual Assistant Positions can be found through Ignotius, LegitOnlineJobs, or Virtual Training Solutions.

For more information on becoming a Virtual Assistant, I recommend the BizyMoms Virtual Assistant Home Business Kit. As a bonus take advantage of their Holiday Special!
