Question
How do you know what work at home jobs are not scams?
 
Answer
First and foremost, use your common sense. If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Your best bet in seeking an at home work setup is to go with a reputable company but in a position with responsibilities that allow for increased flexibility. Sometimes you may start with a period of time where you are office based while proving yourself before earning the opportunity to work from home. In other cases, like consulting firms and market research businesses, entire departments work remotely and it’s a part of their business model to have employees tele-commute.
