Legitimate Work at Home Interview Questions And Answers

Legitimacy is the popular acceptance of an authority, usually a governing law or a regime. Whereas "authority" denotes a specific position in an established government, the term "legitimacy" denotes a system of government.

You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present.

Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons.

Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for.
If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.

You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good
explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are
on track to achieve the others.

This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?

I have two school age children, who are out of the house at school most of the day. My dog is normally outside in our fenced in yard, when I am working and need to make calls.

There best answers:
☛ Yes, I do. We converted a spare room over our garage into an office, where we have a computer, printer/scanner/copy/fax machine, and phone. It is nicely secluded from the rest of the house.
☛ I have a spot with all my equipment where I keep things organized.
☛ I have an area removed from the rest of the house where I can work quietly.

I really like the flexibility in hours. I have always been a night owl, and working set hours is difficult for me. I can accomplish much more on my own timetable.

The thing that I find I like the least is when I have a question, and can not walk down the hallway to ask my supervisor about it. Sometimes it is frustrating to play email or phone tag.

Your company is one of the leaders in e-widget sales. Having worked in e-widget manufacturing for the last ten years, I would welcome the opportunity to use that experience in another sector of the market.

I find that by working from home, I am able to concentrate and get more done than when I worked in a busy office. My office space is a quiet respite.

I think that my experience in the widget industry and my ability to work autonomously make me a good match for this position.

I have a desk top computer, printer, fax machine, phone, scanner and copier. The post office is also just two blocks away.

Working at home has several advantages for me. I like the flexibility in hours. I am an early riser, and I can accomplish a lot before most people are in the office. I enjoy working by myself in a quiet place, without the distractions of a busy office. I like not having to drive to work.

If a decent-paying job is posted, there will be numerous, immediate responses, which means listings are often taken down within a week or two of being posted. If a business does not find the perfect candidate right away and leaves the listing up for a long time, there may be a reason why no one has landed the position.

Anyone asking for credit card information or personal information straight off the bat cannot be trusted. If you have not even interviewed for the job or have not secured the job yet, there should be no reason why you are handing a stranger your personal information.

It is a good idea to set up a specific email account for your applications. With a separate email account, "employers" who could potentially be fake will not be able to use your more widely-used email account to spam you or steal your identity.

Do not send your resume right away unless you have verified that the job offer is real. Since your resume provides information about you such as your name, school, email address, home address and your phone number, thieves can use this information to steal your money and your identity.

You have probably come across at least a few of those "too good to be true" ads that offer free money right away and other benefits at no cost or hassle to you, even if you have no previous work experience. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Interesting jobs that require an employer to get to know you on a more personal basis, such as becoming a personal assistant or modeling for a local brand.
Sometimes an employer has a legitimate need to see a photo or ask questions about your personal interests.
Just be extremely cautious. When it starts sounding more like a cheesy, over-the-top dating profile instead of a job listing, then it is highly recommended that you question the legitimacy of the personal assistant position that you are applying for.

It is also a good idea to put verbal agreements to paper, especially when dealing with a small, new business or person for the first time. This is to ensure that you get paid as agreed for the work you perform.
Instead of meeting in person, send an email in response to a listing to show a business your interest - do not be afraid to ask questions.

If you have concerns, talk to your potential employer about them, especially when dealing with a sole business owner or with a business that is run from a home. For example, do not be afraid to express that you would be more comfortable meeting in a public area. Then see how open the person is to your concerns.
