5 Red Flags When Looking for Telecommuting Jobs | |||
| 1. | You need to pay money up front. We've said this before, but never, never pay for the opportunity to interview for a job or for training to work for a specific employer. | |||
| 2. | Private, personal info is requested -- social security and credit card numbers, bank info, driver's license, etc. -- up front. While it's true that some of these things may be required for tax or payment purposes, your job offer should be in writing and complete, with confirmed contact information for your new employer, before you provide them. | |||
| 3. | There's an ambiguous job description or job title. You should have a detailed explanation of exactly what is expected of you. | |||
| 4. | No company name is listed. It's important to do research on your prospective employer. Although there are bona fide blind ads out there, there's been a drastic increase in work-at-home scams of late, and it just may not be worth the risk. | |||
| 5. | The at-home job sounds too darn good to be true. Unfortunately, it probably is. | |||
