When
using search engines to find home-based jobs, think about the content
of legitimate job ads and try to work with phrases (not single words)
that appear in those ads.
While phrases like "work at home" typically render millions of results
(many of them scams), a more focused search with a phrase like "this is
a work at home position" will narrow the field considerably. Why?
While
"work at home" is a common "hook" for scammers, the latter phrase
is more "natural" to the phrasing used in legitimate work ads. Bottom
line, there are far fewer legitimate home-based jobs than there are
scams, and using the right search terms is a great way to separate the
wheat from the chaff.
Bear
in mind that the good terms will help to weed out the scams, but
some will still slip through. Likewise, not all hits on a bad search
term are scams. Use your common sense when assessing any job listing. Note:
Simply click on the phrase of your choice to conduct a Google search.
