How To Get A Job Online

Here are some tips I gathered that can help you get your online job:

1. Be resourceful. There are a lot of job ads that are looking for homebased people. Just be persistent in hunting and you'll find what you want.

2. Always have a contact name. Cover letters addressed "To Whom It May Concern" will probably end up in the trash.

3. There are no perfect interview answers. Employers simply want to see if you can hold an intelligent conversation.

4. Don't worry if your grades are not perfect. Employers want people who are bright and willing to learn.

5. Tell everyone about your goals and what you want to do. You can never tell who they might know.

6. Be persistent. Don't take "No" for an answer too easily. Employers are busy and may not have time to focus on you.

7. You MUST follow up. I got one of my best online job by simply asking the employer about the status of my application. He said he picked me because I'm the only one who seems genuinely interested with the job.

8. Do not mass mail your resume. Create a specific resume for each company. If possible tailor your skills and interests to the position you're applying for.

9. Don't be afraid to be yourself.
