This week's legitimate work at home jobs number 15, including last week's bonus work at home job. This week's job listings feature technical and not-so-technical jobs, full and part-time work at home jobs and contract and permanent jobs.

All of the job posted have been given the once over by me, who is a doubting Thomas with a strong sniffer when it comes to legitimate work at home jobs. The one craft assembler job looked suspicious at first, but I've included it because I know there are a number of you out there who may be disabled or otherwise are looking for something like this. I didn't want to omit it because if it is indeed legit I'd be doing you a disservice since most of these types of work at home positions are not.

As always, if you get suspicious after applying for one of the jobs you should post a comment here so others will have the benefit of your experience. Any work at home job that is determined likely not to be legitimate will be removed from the list.

This Week's Bonus Work at Home Job:

District Sales Manager at Naviance(West Coast - Telecommute)
This week's bonus legitimate work at home job is posted on LinkedIn. I'm not sure if you have to have a LinkedIn login to view or apply for the job, but if it's a position you qualify for and you don't already belong to LinkedIn, I'd highly recommend you join. This is a great example of how you can use LinkedIn to find legitimate work at home jobs.

Excerpts of the job posting from the company include:
The Naviance District Sales Manager is responsible for development of school district and strategic opportunities in an assigned geographic territory in K-12 education - public and private...The position is located in territory and requires a home or virtual office environment...
Requirements include:
  • Bachelors degree.
  • 7+ years experience in a sales role, years as a front-runner, groundbreaker and overall sales leader a plus. Demonstrated success with technology or services in K12 education desired.
  • Experience creating and developing senior level relationships at school districts and state education agencies.
  • Knowledge of sales processes, CRM (SalesForce.com preferred), K12 Education, Territory management, Software or Services based solutions, Consultative Selling Skills, Web-based presentation tools (i.e. WebEx, LiveMeeting, adobe connect, etc.), solution presentation, and response to RFPs.
Applicants are advised to submit their resume with a cover letter to: http://tiny.cc/DistrictSM. Resumes without cover letters will not be considered.

I found this work from home opportunity on About.com Job Search (Indeed) using Telecommute as the search term. The link in the listing sent me to the job posting on LinkedIn. Because I am already a member of LinkedIn and was already logged into my account, I had no issues accessing information on this position.

Mr. Dudley:
I have never been a believer in network marketing – it’s just not something I choose to believe in. Unfortunately, like the work at home job scams that abound everywhere (60:1 by some estimates), there are a lot of empty, pie-in-the-sky promises made, giving the industry a very bad name.

I appreciate that you are up front on your website about network marketing requiring time, effort and dedication, just as any other business does, and for that I applaud you.

However, I have to wonder, if you are being so up front about it, why is this truthful information, in the form of your disclaimer text, displayed in a light gray, less noticeable font at the very bottom of the page, way below the fold (in fact, below what even appears to be your page footer). To me, this is essentially covering one’s butt to save themselves, not to help visitors or readers.

Again, these are the very tactics I caution others to look out for. While yours may be a very legitimate operation, I can see that this is a new venture. I challenge you to be transparent and actually be unlike the others in your industry – just as you claim to be.

Normally, I might consider your comment here as spam, as it is not even on a post related to your business. However, since you asked me to give you some exposure, I will and I won’t remove your link, either.

Randy D.
