How to Searching for an Internet Employment
You may be a bit frustrated and already
on the point of giving up because your effort to find a job in the
internet did not net you a positive result. Likewise, you may be a bit
anxious whether the internet jobs
you are applying for are legitimately real and not another form of
scams.
It would be good to have some basic tips and pieces of advice in
handy to save you the futile anxiety and the unnecessary wasted effort
and time.
Some potential problems you may encounter in your search
There are basically two frustrating
snags in your effort to search for internet employment. On the one hand,
scammers are all over the net. They are like roaring lions trying to
devour any unsuspecting people. Some of them are international and
local. So you better be wary of them. On the other hand, there is the
problem of problematic search which often yield futile results. So how
do you avoid or counteract these two internet booby traps?
Detecting Scams and Scammers
I used to work as a fraud specialist in
one of the busiest international online Marketplaces and I usually
noticed that a lot of people were scammed because they are simpleminded
and naïve to search and ask for some basic and simple information which
might have easily prevented the scams. You should not be naïve enough
not to do a background check on a company or a person. Likewise, one
thing you should not do when applying for a job is to readily give some
basic financial information online. Your financial information should be
kept personal. You must only give out your financial information when
you are 100% sure of the recipient. Some scammers are good at fishing
out information from people, so you better take so much precaution and
protect your personal information.
Second, make a thorough background check
of the company you are applying at. Is the company legitimate and has
license to operate? Look for feedback from other people. Try to figure
out if in your search, it gives you a legitimate website. Do they give
out their physical address and legitimate contact numbers? Make use of
the popular search engines, such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo, in making a
background check of the company. Be sensitive to any indication of fraud
and never give out your Social Security Number, credit card numbers, or
PIN.
Likewise, you should be wary of sending
out money using money order or Western Union because most scammers make
use of money order and Western Union. Moreover, never send money until
you are a hundred and twenty percent sure that it is necessary. There
are companies, such as HomeJobStop, which sometimes ask for a minimal
fee for their listing. That is pretty much acceptable. Other than that,
you must be intuitively very careful.
Tips on Searching the Net for Internet Employment
Searching the net may sometimes seem
tiresome, especially, if you are not well-versed with the proper way of
using search engines. One basic tip is: “Be specific.” For example,
instead of typing in the search tab, “internet job,” instead try “internet employment opportunities.”
Likewise, if you’re unfamiliar with the Boolean operators, you should
try to familiarize yourself with it. It is helpful in narrowing down the
search results. By using “+ sign” before the word you really like to be
included in your search, and “– sign” before the word you want to
exclude, you could limit the search to the more appropriate results. For
example, you type in internet “employment+paid.” This will definitely
exclude articles which only talks about internet employment, but not
give you the job employment themselves. Narrow down your keywords to the
bare necessity. Say in your job search, your keyword is internet and
employment. So never complicate your search by adding unnecessary
words. Likewise, you should never give up while searching for job on the
net. If one set of words don’t net you the best result, try another
one. Moreover, you could move from one search engine to another to be
more comprehensive in your search.
You search may be rewarded in the long
run; but always bear in mind the above-mentioned tips in your search for
internet employment because these tips may save you a lot of headaches.
I profit $20 for each 20 minute survey!
ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what big companies are paying for. They need to know what their average customer needs and wants. So these companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars per month to the average person. In return, the average person, myself included, fills out surveys and gives them their opinion.
