Ask yourself: Are you able to work independently? Do you have time management and organizational skills? Do you have a suitable space in your home to dedicate to remote work?

What should I have before I begin my work from home career?

The must haves for working from home are a desktop or laptop computer and a quiet space free of distractions and noise. You also need a stable internet connection. Some companies will test your connection.

For your comfort, you also should look into an ergonomic chair and keyboard.

Can I get a work from home job with no experience?

Yes! Although we have jobs listed that need experience we have numerous jobs that do not require experience. 

What should I do if I am getting several rejections or no responses?

Review your resume! Pick one industry and cater your resume to that specific industry. Keep your resume short and focused. Carefully review each job posting and tweak your resume to fit that specific job. Practice your interview skills with a partner or family member in preparation for video interviews. You want to be educated on the job you are applying for but also be personable.
