Are any work at home jobs real?

There really are home office jobs, some with hourly pay, salaries, and benefits! There are a lot more business opportunity ads though, and while many people do run a home business, these very slick ads are meant to help the person posting them more than anybody who responds.

Does the advertisement for a work at home job look too good to be true? If you see a listing with no required skills, experience, or equipment, that is a red flag. Any job will have job requirements. No employer just wants to hire anybody they can find to work at home. Real employers want self-starters who can commit to working a certain amount of hours, and they are probably looking for certain skills.

Again, a real work at home job may have hourly pay, a salary, and even benefits. But if the promised money looks unrealistic for the suggested skills, (i.e. $7k to post links on Google!), you can bet that this is not an actual job listing.

Does the post ask for an application or resume? If so, that is a good sign. But if the post simply asks for an application fee, be very wary. That is probably not a real job offer, but instead a slick ad for information on how to work from home or how to start a home business. These types of offer vary by quality, and the fact that it attempts to be deceptive is not a good sign!
