As everyone knows Monster.com is the leader in job marketing. They provide an avenue for millions to post and read resumes. However there is a problem with these huge job searching companies. That is that when you are looking for a job in a specific area the first 10 or so jobs listed are national job listings. They have no relevance to you and waste your time being there. Why should we be subjected to viewing these? There is no reason.I recently have moved to West Virginia and started a career here. I have found an excellent job and love the area. I tried Monster.com first, because honestly who doesn’t put their resume on Monster when they need to find a job. My resume was on there about 2 months and I had found nothing even close to a “good” job. I decided I would need to look at a more localized job search engine. I decided to pick a few states I wouldn’t mind moving to and decided to check out there State Chamber of Commerce sites. Usually this was a good place to start, however sometimes the sites were not very impressive. I finally looked at the WV Chamber of Commerce page. After a few click throughs I stumbled upon a site developed in WV. It wasn’t flashy but it did provide a ton of information. The site was called VCLink. It had job postings, opportunities, and even a place to upload my resume. My resume was on for a week when I received a call from my current employer trying to schedule an interview with me. One Week! Just for kicks I left my resume on Monster. It have had my job for 6 months, so tack that on the initial 2 months and after 8 months I had received one decent job possibility. That is the problem, Monster is too big to handle specified job searching. Sure they can help someone looking for “some job somewhere,” but not someone who knows what they want and where they want it. So if you know what you want try and find a small localized company to assist you in your job hunt.

Virtual Jobs. The future is here. With more companies downsizing, the need for a virtual employee or contractor, is increasing daily. Have you ever called a company and the customer service agent was in another country? That’s because big corporations, like major toy stores, may get 100,000 incoming calls or more a day! To staff enough people taking those calls, would require a bigger call center building, agents, electricity, phones, computers, more fuel used for travel to and from the job site.
Therefore, the need is apparent. But where do you find a good job, working at home? Search the internet for “work at home” and over 1.8 billion results are returned. Wow! That’s a lot to sift through. That’s exactly what I did. Day after day, searching for “work at home virtual jobs”. I searched for months, till I found them. I applied, my son applied, and then my girlfriend applied. Took a bit more time than a regular out in the world application. But we were all hired. Great companies that hired work at home agents. We take inbound customer service calls for really big companies. Paid by the minute, we average 8-18 per hour, depending on peak call times.
Working at home is very rewarding from my side of the fence. I make my own schedule. I take off when I need, and I don’t have to ask anybody. I will say, it does take a lot of discipline. So easy to take too much time off, you really have to treat it like any other job. Except for the drive to work. We have to be on time for the schedule we make. But the pro’s far out weigh the con’s.
By now you are asking where do “I” find a job like that?
I will give it away. After all of the research, I found about 33 companies, more as I check them out, that hire work at home agents. The list is totally free for anybody that wants it at http:thegadgitech.com on the work from home tab.
I sincerely hope this information gets out to a lot of people in search of working at home. A lot of the 1.8 billion sites out there, charge for this kind of information. I give it away to help others help themselves.
