Telecommute-Jobs.com FAQ - Work at home employment

Q:	Why is this site different than other telecommute job sites?:
A:	Real jobs! For every job that you see posted on our site, there are five other jobs that we have rejected. That's because we do NOT allow MLM scams, jobs that require a start-up fee, or any of the job types listed on the Federal Trade Commission's "work at home schemes" warning list. Buyer beware: It is common for other telecommute job sites to consist of such 'junk jobs'.

Q:	Why do you charge fees for access to jobs?:
A:	It's true that many employment sites like Monster.com do not charge access fees for viewing jobs, and in this regard - our site is unusual. Upon further examination however, this turns out to be a comparison between apples and oranges. Our site is a unique portal for premium jobs that allow telecommuting, and these openings are in tremendous demand. In the Q&A question below, we discuss what had occurred in the years in which we had offered free access to telecommute jobs. From this, we think you will see that our present fee-based system actually offers our subscribers the advantage of less competition. This provides a better chance of being noticed by employers, rather than simply being overlooked in a huge crowd of other job seekers who are a applying for the same jobs.

Q:	How did this site get started?:
A:	In the years leading up to Y2K, we operated another job site ( PrgJobs.com ) which is still in existence today. In those days, employers would occasionally post telecommute job openings, which job seekers could access for free. In time however, we began to notice a disproportional trend in which a large percentage of our job seeker traffic had been pursuing less than one percent of our jobs. You guessed it, these were the telecommute jobs. We encountered many cases in which 400 or more job seekers would apply for just one of these job openings. In order to accommodate this large amount of traffic, we were continually paying for more servers and bandwidth. In 2001, we made the decision to feature our telecommute jobs on their own fee-based website (Telecommute-Jobs.com). While serving to offset our operating costs, we believe that we have also created a website which better serves the interests of telecommuters.

Q:	Can I use this site if I'm not located in the USA?:
A:	Many of the jobs listed on our site are open to those living overseas and those who do not have a USA work visa. A few jobs may have a geographic requirement, for example "must be located in the Atlanta area". Such jobs will explicitly indicate the geographic requirement right on the job page. We do not have any statistics available relating to how many jobs have geographic requirements, however - you can get an idea by reading some of our jobs and looking for such requirements in the text of the job ad. Because the vast majority of the employers on our site are located in the USA, job seekers need to have the ability to speak English. More importantly, job seekers should be able to send emails using mistake-free English including proper spelling and good grammar.

Q:	I still have questions - now what?:
A:	Send us an email and we'll try to answer any concerns that you might have.
