Looking for a Home-based Job?

Home-based jobs sounds good, right? No need to experience the hectic rush hours; no pushing and frustrating hailing of full public transpo. There’s no need to budget your transportation allowance as you don’t need to get out of the house but still, you’re earning! No need to socialize with co-workers and bosses you do not like. With home-based jobs, you do the job and that’s it.

Home-based jobs are also good as part-time jobs. Because there’s no need to go to a workplace, you can relax at home after a full-time job or maybe after school. The extra stress of prepping for work is off your shoulders and can just concentrate on the tasks and earning.

But before you go ahead and look for home-based jobs, here are some of the things that you need to prepare:

• Internet connection – Most home-based jobs require applicants to have a stable internet connection. You need this because this is your connection with the company. Files are exchanged between employer and employee. Communication is also done through online messengers.

With the onset of broadband connection in the Philippines, choose among SMART broadband, PLDT DSL, Globe Broadband, Sun Broadband, Sky Broadband, Bayantel DSL above others. Choose the broadband line that gives the best service in your area.
TIP: Most DSL connections depend on location. Research well before subscribing to one.

There are also employers who are willing to provide an internet connection allowance.

• Telecommunication connection – in short, phone lines (landline or cellphone). Aside from the internet, some updates may also be sent to you via SMS or calls from the company. Employers would want their home-based to be accessible and available when needed.

• Quality headsets – this is essential especially if you are doing a home-based call center job. Quality headsets are necessary. The employers will know if you have one through online interviews if there are any. There's one specific brand that I use which has all the features that I'm looking for. (Read it HERE)

• Webcam – for some home-based jobs, a web camera is necessary. Make sure the video output is clear.

• Quiet workplace – In general, to give you a place where you can work well. However, home-based jobs that require you to talk via phone or headset like call-center home-based jobs require that you have a really quiet workplace to minimize background noise.

In summary, if you are planning to do a home-based job, you need to be prepared with the necessary tech equipment to make your home-based jobs easier.

Good luck!
