It's been a long while now since the work at home or online jobs have become wildly abundant. Because of that, more and more people have chosen to work in this kind of jobs because they value one important thing - family.
With 8-5 day jobs, people have realized that they are not able to spend much time with their family and their home. So for those who have children, they'd mostly depend on hired nannies and houseworkers to get the jobs done when in fact, they themselves can do it if they were a hands-on parents. Another advantage of working from home or online (which also means can be anywhere as long as one is connected to the internet) is having a flexible schedule. Most work from home jobs or online jobs don't require one to work on employer's fixed schedule as most employers let one set own schedule. For example, in a 24-hour period, one can choose to complete his 8-hour task within 12 hours. So that means that one can take a break in between allowable length of session. I am talking about the hourly jobs here. For fixed jobs, one has to follow turnaround time. This means that once one is given the task, he will need to finish and submit it in a specified time i.e. 24 hours. It may be a little bit more of a pressure on the worker though this also mostly offers instantly bigger earnings.
Enough bla-bla. I am a busy work at home mom of four lovely kids. I have a best friend for over 5 years now which is my personal computer. I work at my own schedule and for 1 year and 8 months now, I have been working for Google. Everyone scouring the web must know about Google. It's a giant company widely known esp. to internet users. You may have wondered how to join Google's team. Well, I would say I was just so lucky to be part of this company. And because I cannot disclose anything here, I just would like you to leave comments regarding your interest in working online for Google so I can provide you with the additional details. And the requirements are as follows:
1. Keen attention to details
2. Personal computer / fast Broadband/DSL connection
3. Working headset and webcam
4. At least 3.0 grade in oDesk English Skills Basic Test - Actually, they only require 2.5 but I'd advise anyone to get at least 3.0.
For those who have no
oDesk account yet, you can create only one legitimate account by clicking on
here.
As work at home means being independent, keen attention to details is a must. So fill your account with information needed. Don't worry about providing your information to oDesk as it is a secure site. Make yourself ready by taking the oDesk Readiness Test which you can find in the test section. There are more tests you can find in there. Just feel free to explore the site and as I've mentioned already, the next step to getting hired by Google is to pass the US English Skills Basic Test. 3.0 is already good but of course, the bigger is always the better. This is a timed test so to ensure yourself to pass the test, take a look at the syllabus and take time to review about how to use each of them but if you are confident of yourself then you may skip reviewing. If you fail, 3 months is not too long, I guess? And just in case, many resources can be found with research online. How does this sound? I am not asking you to pay me anything because legitimate jobs don't ask you to pay even a single cent.
Good luck!
