Rise of Home Based Online Jobs

Never had I thought that Home Based Online Jobs are rapidly growing. Just this week, I learned that there’s a company that works as a recruitment agency. They hire Filipinos to work at home as virtual assistants to entrepreneurs across the globe. For the past year, I didn’t know such company does exist. Did you? Maybe a few of you does. I know Odesk and Elance are sites where you can find home based jobs too but a company just like this is new to me.

It is indeed the era of technology. Where high-speed internet is no longer a luxury but a necessity. The time where moms no longer just stays at home and do the household chores. With the rise of home based jobs, hundreds or thousands of Filipinos are given a means of living without jeopardizing the time they spend with their families.

In my recent discovery, around 30-60 Filipinos are hired monthly (in this one particular recruitment company I came across with) as Gen. Virtual Assistant, Content Writer, SEO specialist, Web Designer and Web Developer. Imagine if that trend will continue for the next 5 years or so. And take note that there are other recruitment company such as this. For sure, home based employees will increase a hundred folds.

It’s really not a surprised on why an increasing number of Pinoys opt to work at home. It’s convenient as you don’t have to allot a time for travelling. And the pay is really good compared to working in an office. PLUS, it’s TAX FREE which means your hard-earned money won’t go to the pockets of our corrupt politicians (Yehey!).

The above mentioned are just a few of the pros in working at home. If you think that a home based job is for you, better get the experience most of these recruitment agencies are looking for, you can start as an individual contractor or a project based employee in odesk. Once you have the experience, go start checking out the web sites of these recruitment agencies for a more stable-full time home based online jobs.

I can recommend one. 🙂
