Work At Home Job Search Advice

When searching for a work at home job on the Internet be sure to verify the legitimacy of any job lead sources.

Many web sites on the Internet claim to offer legitimate work at home job leads.

My words of wisdom for your work from home job search is to:

1. Call the telephone number listed on the web site and speak to a live person.

If the web site does not offer a telephone number. Do not order their products.

2. Check to make sure the web site offers a money back guarantee.

3. Check out the web site company's street address. Make sure it is not a PO Box address. No Street address, no money.

4. Check out the web site to see if they belong to any consumer watch organizations.

5. If all the above requirements are meant and you order and the web site company's products are no good, you can find someone there to turn to for that refund.

*** Article: Finding a Job You Can Love - By Kitty J. Boitnott ***

George Burns once said, "I'd rather be a failure at something I love than successful at something I hate." I suspect that many of us would agree with him, but unfortunately, too many people feel stuck in jobs that, if they don't actually hate them, they don't love them, either.

In fact, a June 2013 Gallup poll revealed that an alarming 70% of those surveyed either hate their jobs or are completely disengaged with regard to their performance on them. Workplace morale is a very real problem, and it is not one that should be ignored or taken for granted.

Perhaps you are one of those in the 70% who feel stuck in a job that pays you for time spent in the workplace, but you feel unfulfilled and are wondering why you bother given that no one seems to appreciate your efforts.

If you are in the category of the 70% of workers who are not only unhappy but feel disengaged in your current job, it may be time to do some real soul searching and consider the possibility of making a change.

The Secrets of Work-Life Balance

According to a new survey by startup Glassdoor, "The average U.S. employee only took 51 percent of their eligible vacation/paid time off in the last year.

Fifteen percent didn't take off any time at all, while a mere 25 percent of employees reported using all of their allocated vacation days.

Even when we vacation, 61 percent of us admit that we do some work while out of the office."

Here are 5 Keys to Work/Life Balance from Eric Barker that will help you overcome the obsession with working while on holiday.
1. Everything is not equally important. Do fewer things and do them well.
2. Decide what your values are — and which ones take precedence.
3. Do the things that get disproportionate results.
4. Focus on the things only you can do.
5. Do the important things which must be done now.

"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love.

Don't make money your goal.

Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you."
