Should You Keep Your Salary a Secret?

by Caroline M.L. Potter, Yahoo! HotJobs

You share a lot with your coworkers over time: Projects. Lunches. Office space. Cocktails. Family photos. Birthday cake. But, even after many years of working together, should you share the details of your salary and compensation package?

No, says compensation expert Dick Dauphinais of Strategic Compensation Partners. "We all know employees talk, and things can never remain totally confidential," he says. "But an outright exchange of salary details probably isn't the best idea."

Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe

When companies have different employees on the same job and one of them is paid differently, many unfairness issues surface. "It can happen in any 'open shop' that differentiates pay for any reason (seniority, performance, etc.)," says Dauphinais. You could run the risk of alienating valued colleagues if they learn you earn more for what they perceive to be the same job.

Dauphinais, who has more than 30 years of human resources experience specializing in both the compensation and benefit areas, instead urges organizations to focus on structure. "I am a big fan of sharing the compensation 'structure' and all the components that dictate how employees progress through that structure with staff members."

Democracy Doesn't Always Work at Work

There are organizations that openly share compensation information around the office. However, warns Dauphinais, "Unless all similar jobs pay the same rate, I would advise that open salary concepts don't work well."

The confidential nature of your salary, in fact, can be a greater benefit to you. "It creates an opportunity for a manager to have a confidential discussion with employees as to why they are being paid what they are -- and how they can work toward making more money," he says. "Each employee can then move forward with confidence that they have 'bonded' with their supervisor on their individual issues -- good and bad -- without involving others in the process."

Don't Let Under-Compensation Undermine You

If you learn that someone who holds a similar position earns a bigger paycheck, don't panic. First, do some due diligence to determine if you are being underpaid in general. Use the Yahoo! HotJobs salary calculator, and also reach out to your out-of-office network to find out how people at other companies are being compensated.

Next, says Dauphinais, "I would go to my boss and ask the reasons why." Open a rational dialogue to understand what skills or experience you'll need to improve your performance -- and earn more recognition and financial rewards.

Salary Secrets Your Employer Doesn't Want You to Know

by Maria Hanson, LiveCareer

In down economic times, companies seem to have carte blanche to limit salaries and make low-ball offers. But that shouldn't be the case.

Below are the top salary secrets your employer doesn't want you to know. With this information in hand, you'll be in a better position to get the pay you deserve.


Employers don't always offer a fair salary.

Some employers think they're being fair, but they're not up-to-date with the latest salary information. Others may try to pay less than the market value because they're financially strapped. That's why it's important that you know exactly how much money you should be making. A free salary report can help you calculate how much you should be earning in any job.


You can negotiate your salary in a tight job market.

In a recession, many people would rather take a pay cut than lose their jobs. Raises are hard to come by and new hires may feel they have less negotiating power. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to bump up your salary; it's just a little more challenging.

According to a recent survey from the Society for Human Resource Management, 80 percent of HR professionals say employers are willing to negotiate salaries. So, if you're looking for a raise at your current job, come armed with your marketplace worth and make your case. And, if you've been offered a job that pays less than you like, don't be afraid to name your realistic asking price. Keep in mind that, if you got the offer, you're clearly the best candidate for the job -- even in this highly competitive job market.


New hires sometimes earn more than long-term employees.

When there's a strong job market, organizations need to do whatever they can to attract top candidates. This often means that starting salaries may be higher for newbies than they are for long-term employees. Given the current economic conditions, that's less the norm these days, but it still happens in certain industries. If you suspect that a new hire with similar responsibilities is making more than you are, use current salary data to approach your manager with the request to bring your salary up to par.


Your performance doesn't decide your pay.

While your performance is one important factor in the salary equation, your pay is also a reflection of many other factors, including:

• The job market -- lower pay is more acceptable in tighter job markets.
• Location -- generally the higher the cost of living, the higher your salary.
• Years of service -- in many cases, the longer you've been with a company, the higher your pay.
• Organization size -- large organizations tend to pay more than small ones.
• Education level -- in most cases, the more education you have, the higher your pay. Take a free education test to find out how going back to school can help you earn more.

If you're a valued employee who isn't making the money you deserve, you do have options. Know your value and make your case with the help of your free salary report. And know too, that many employers -- particularly larger employers -- have a little more in the "raise kitty" than they let on.

Easiest Health Care Jobs to Break Into

This won't hurt a bit! Check out these hot jobs in a fast-growing field.

by Lydia Dishman, PayScale.com

Sure, the unemployment numbers are dismal. But there's one industry that's looking rosier every day--health care. Recent reports from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics confirm this: over the past 12 months, health care added 231,000 jobs--27,000 in July alone.

Though many people would like to get in, few make it past perusing the classifieds before becoming discouraged by the educational and experiential requirements. Though it's true that becoming a doctor, nurse, or specialized technician demands an advanced degree, there are some positions in health care that can be had without a four-year college commitment, and without a lot of experience.

But before you toss those thick course catalogs, know that many of these positions do require certification and/or a two-year associate's degree. The good news is that much of the schooling can be done on a flexible schedule or even online--perhaps while you're holding down the job.

Phlebotomy technician (PBT): median annual salary, $28,939
If you've got a high school education, an interest in science, and some health care experience, the American Society for Clinical Pathology wants to help you land a job as a PBT, collecting and analyzing blood samples from patients. The ASCP's Gelasia Croom says these workers are in high demand, due to lack of awareness about the job and retiring baby boomers.

Health-insurance agent: median annual salary, $38,205
Health-insurance agents provide easy-to-understand information and access to expert advice so consumers can make smart decisions about insuring their health. However, Fred Adams of HSA America notes that most insurance agents don't need an advanced degree. They must hold a license in the state where they plan to do business, but that license can be obtained in about two weeks, with no previous experience required.

Medical-records clerk: median annual salary, $25,189
If you're a stickler for accuracy and have great organizational skills, a career as a medical-records clerk may work for you. This is one of the few health care positions that doesn't require any patient interactions; workers assemble patients' health information--including medical history, symptoms, and exam and diagnostic test results--and manage the data for quality, accuracy, and security. Most applicants have an associate's degree along with a good command of computer software programs.

Physical-therapy (PT) assistant: median annual salary, $43,655
Thanks to aging baby boomers, demand for professional PT assistants is on the rise. If you have a high school diploma and good people skills, earning certification can take as little as six months. Then you can work with physical therapists to help patients exercise or learn to use crutches, for instance, and provide therapies such as traction, ultrasound, massage, and balance training.

Medical transcriptionist: median annual salary, $25,559
How fast can you type? Fingers fly when medical transcriptionists listen to dictated recordings made by doctors and other health care professionals and transcribe them into medical reports, correspondence, and other administrative material. Though more than half work at hospitals or physicians' offices, many medical transcriptionists telecommute from home-based offices. Slackers need not apply--accuracy is a top priority to prevent errors in patients' records.

Dispensing optician's apprentice: median annual salary, $23,600
Want to help people see better and look great? With a high school diploma, you could snag a position at an optometrist's office and receive technical instruction on the job, along with learning the finer points of office management and sales. Apprentices work directly with patients, fitting them for eyeglasses or contact lenses, while being supervised by an experienced optician.

The Job Seeker's Workweek

by Brad Attig, for www.123Movers.com

When you're looking for a new job, having an organized plan of attack is one key way to stay ahead of the competition. Brad Attig, of MyRetailCareer.net, offers his tips on how to organize your job-hunting tasks for each day of the workweek:

Monday: Reflect and Plan
Resist the urge to jump into Monday and contact everyone you met or talked with last week. Use the day to recap your prior week's activities and plan this week's attack. On most Mondays, inboxes are filled and schedules are full of meetings. As a job seeker, you want to be noticed for skills and accomplishments, not your 9 a.m. Monday call.



Use Monday to look at your network and ask yourself, "Who did I reach out to? Who did I actually reach? Who do I need to reach back out to?" Also, look at the status of any interviews in process, positions that you applied to and haven't heard back on, and positions you were recently made aware of.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday: Strategically Implement
Start Tuesday with your prioritized plan of attack in hand. Resist the urge to just jump on the Internet and start sending resumes like a crazy person. Make your follow-up phone calls first (you are freshest in the morning) before staring at a computer screen all day. Afterwards, do your follow-up correspondence. Reach out to your network and make at least three dates to meet contacts during the week (lunch, coffee, informational meetings, networking functions, and so on).

Tuesday Afternoon, Wednesday, and Thursday: Apply for Positions
You need to develop a balanced approach to your search. Use this time to apply for appropriate positions. (Don't waste your time applying for positions you aren't qualified for or aren't interested in.)

You will probably have differing levels of interest in the job openings you've found--we'll call the most interesting ones the "A" jobs. Don't tackle all the A jobs in one day. Split the As, Bs, and Cs up by starting each morning with a few of the A positions. These are the jobs you will most likely be spending a lot of time and energy on. Fill in gaps with the Bs and Cs while taking breaks to keep from burning out.

Friday: Attack
Use Friday to hit the phones again. It may be hard to believe, but a lot of people are easier to get on the phone at the end of the week. Also, a lot of people like to "clear" their desk on Fridays, and if you happen to call at the right time, you give them that opportunity. And some people like the distraction of an unplanned call, which will give you more time than expected for discussing your needs, too. After making calls to potential employers, reevaluate your networking efforts and reach out again to those who might be helpful.

A simple, 5-step plan for creating a new professional ally

by Charles Purdy, Monster+HotJobs senior editor

Whether you're looking for a job or trying to advance your career, networking is very important (in a recent HotJobs poll, 57 percent of respondents said that networking was a factor in landing their most recent job). And networking shouldn't end when you log off of LinkedIn or head home from a conference. Valuable contacts are on the perimeter of your social circle, they're the parents of your kids' school chums, they're sitting next to you on airplanes--basically, they're all around you every day. So how do you turn these people from relative strangers into valuable network contacts?

Step 1: Identify good contacts.
An effective professional network has a wide variety of types of people, including people from outside your industry. So how do you decide whether someone you meet at a cocktail party is someone you want in your circle? Career expert Liz Ryan says it's more about "feel" than logic: "You've got a certain style and approach, and people who are comfortable with you and with whom you're comfortable will make up your A-list for network cultivation."


Look for people who are active in and passionate about their field (whatever it is), and who seem interested in what you're doing. Also, people who communicate well are likely to be "connectors" who have their own networks that you may be able to tap into.

(Think you're too introverted to be a successful networker? Get tips on networking for shy people.)

Step 2: Manage your contacts.
Productivity expert Stever Robbins, the author of "Get-It-Done Guy's 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More," offers tips for managing the business cards you receive:

First, if you're at a conference or a similar event where you're receiving a lot of business cards, Robbins suggests jotting down quick memory-aid notes on the backs of cards--so when you enter the contact in your digital address book, you can record (in the Notes field) the name of the conference and what you talked about.

Then, immediately after you put a new person into your address book, send a brief "Great to meet you" email--with a note about your conversation and a brief follow-up.

(Read all of Robbins's tips on following up with new contacts after a conference.)

Step 3: Offer value.
Effective networking begins long before you need to get something from your network. First, you must demonstrate that you have something to offer--this builds a foundation of goodwill. Every time you talk to someone in your professional network, you should ask what he or she is working on, so you're aware of the problems your contacts are trying to solve.

In his book "Well Connected: An Unconventional Approach to Building Genuine, Effective Business Relationships," executive coach Gordon S. Curtis offers suggestions on how to offer value to a new contact: consider how you could supply information, new clients, or interesting products--or even other contacts. Curtis explains, "If you make the right introduction, both parties will feel you've done them favors."

Step 4: Stay in touch.
Your efforts to meet, record, and court new contacts are wasted if you let relationships lapse. An effective networker is participatory and involved.

Sound like a lot of work? It doesn't have to be--in fact, your networking efforts shouldn't take a lot of time (don't "spam" your network by mass-sharing things of little value). Read an interesting article or book? Ask yourself who else might benefit from it. Planning to attend an industry conference or networking event? Find out how you can get more involved. Have something to say? Update your blog, and comment (thoughtfully) on the blogs of people in your network.

Step 5: Get back from your network.
If you've been conscientious about maintaining connections with your network, asking for something like an introduction or a favor will seem less like an imposition.

One key to getting results is to make specific requests of specific people. Sending your entire network a tweet saying, "My interior-design firm is accepting new clients!" probably isn't enough--because it's not speaking directly to anyone, and it's not offering a tangible value. A better tactic is a targeted message to the right people--for instance, an email, describing your expertise in decorating boutique-hotel lobbies and asking for an introduction, to a contact in the hotel business.

Be concise with your requests, don't pester people, and don't take it personally if someone isn't able to help you--the reasons may be beyond his or her control. And finally, don't forget to say "thank you"--if one of your contacts finds a way to help you, look for a way to help him or her, so your relationship will grow even stronger.

How to Negotiate Working from Home

by Lydia Dishman, PayScale.com

A huge corner office was once a universal symbol for making it to the top of the corporate heap. Today, according to Alan Blume, the author of "Your Virtual Success," more people measure their success by being office-less.

But while the number of U.S. telecommuters ranges from 2.8 million (the number of people who list their home as a primary place of work, not including the self-employed) to 44.4 million (the number of people who work at home at least once a year), Blume points out that more than 50 million people have jobs that could be done remotely or have businesses that could be based at home.

"Even large companies are recognizing that having a virtual business means enormous financial savings, lower turnover, improved productivity, and no costly overhead," says Blume.

Do you have a "pajama job"?
You don't need to assemble crafts or take surveys in order to work from home--but you need to know whether your job is suited to being done off-site. Workers who can access networks, files, or databases remotely are good telecommuting candidates. For instance, IT and computer-systems analysts who design and maintain business networks can tackle a workload from a home office, via virtual desktops and virtual private networks--as long as they have a speedy Internet connection in place. Paralegals, medical transcriptionists, and insurance-claims processors can work remotely with reliable computer access. Many companies will also outsource sales and public-relations efforts, as those jobs require more time spent with clients than in the office.

(See more of the top jobs for telecommuting.)

Are you prepared to prove yourself?
Many would-be telecommuters think that once they can work in their bunny slippers, they'll be more productive than ever. The key is to convince the boss. Bruce A. Hurwitz, Ph.D., president and CEO of Hurwitz Staffing, says there are three ways to ensure that you'll get permission to telecommute:

1. Establish yourself as a reliable and trusted employee. Lin Grensing-Pophal, the author of "Managing Off-Site Staff," says, "The biggest barrier to telecommuting is trust, but, in reality, it's no different from managing employees who work in branch offices or other remote locations--even internationally."

2. Show the company it will cost them nothing. The focus needs to be on measurable results and on the business. Don't talk about how it will benefit you.

3. Show managers how they'll get a full day's work from you. For instance, explain how commuting time will become actual work time. And communicate, says Grensing-Pophal. Supervisors expect that employees working from home will be as accessible as they are in the office.

Hurwitz suggests keeping an accurate log of your productivity. "There is always the danger that other employees will complain. The log gives the employer the evidence to justify their decision."

If you're still stuck on how to make the right approach, Michelle Goodman, the author of "The Anti 9-to-5 Guide" recommends downloading a telecommuting proposal template, such as the one available at WorkOptions.com.

If at first you don't succeed ...
Goodman says you shouldn't give up. "Ask what conditions would need to be met in order to work from home, and then work to meet them," she recommends. You could also try to negotiate a short trial period or less frequent time off-site.

"Ask whether your boss would be open to revisiting the topic several months down the line," suggests Goodman. And while you wait, look around for evidence that telecommuting benefits other companies in your industry. Still getting the "no way" vibe? Goodman says, "It may be time to start poking around for a new position."

How To Find A Career That Fits

According to Forbes.com++, some surveys have found that 87% of Americans don't like their jobs. This probably isn't surprising to you. Whether you're at a party or out to dinner... more often than not, it's one big gripe-fest, focused around the most loathed aspects of your jobs and "who's got it the worst at work."

Work is a big part of life so it comes up naturally in conversation. I find we often complain about our jobs instead of singing our boss's praises or something along those lines--right?! There's something about commiserating over the daily toil and all the hardships we endure, that connects us and makes us feel like we are all in the same boat.

But what if we connected over how much we enjoyed our jobs instead? What would that be like?

As a certified career coach, that is my mission: to change the way people feel about work; from seeing it as just a paycheck to having it be a fulfilling, rewarding endeavor that is an extension of their purpose and passion. That's what this article is about: Finding a Career that FITS.

So let's get started, to help you begin this process of finding a career you are passionate about...

First, take a deep breath. (That's right, I'm serious!) Right now, take in a long, deep breath to take some pressure off this process. I know what happens when I am tense and tight - nothing flows. When you're tight, your thoughts tend to be restrictive, limited and self-defeating. So release some of this tension if you have it, and commit to allowing the process to flow. Breathe deeply and easily. Permit your mind to consider new possibilities.

Because our jobs are vitally important to us, we tend to take this so seriously that we can end up becoming totally stressed out. Remember: there are unlimited options out there, and income can be achieved in so many creative and fulfilling ways!

So breathe, and realize that you can do and be anything. As you feel yourself letting go of that nervous, negative energy, allow your mind to open up to new alternatives. Acknowledge your career situation; how did you get where you are today? Is it possible to recreate that process and go in an entirely new direction for yourself, your life? Of course it is. You did it before. You can do it again!

Once you're aligned with the possibilities, trust that you will figure this out and believe in yourself. You can find a career you truly enjoy. I've helped many people do it and I've done it myself. I have faith that you can do the same!

What are some ways you can remind yourself to believe and trust in your own abilities? Remember that people are relying on you this very minute. You have earned trust at your place of employment. The very job that YOU perform each day, helps one company bring in thousands, maybe millions or billions. That is no small feat, by any means!

Give yourself credit for what you currently do that people rely on you for. Do you pay a mortgage each month? Has the state entrusted you with a driver's license? If other people have faith in you, isn't it time you trusted yourself? Who better than you knows what YOU excel at, and what type of career you're ideally suited for? Have faith in the choices you make. YOU can do it, YOUR way!

Next, realize this is a process. Because you're probably relying on your current job to support yourself, you can make the move gradually if you need to. Because you're learning, the course of your path may change along the way. You'll figure it out.

The process of reinventing yourself can take some time. Career transition involves careful planning, and outlining of steps and procedures. Set goals that are realistic yet also a stretch, so that you can step out of your comfort zone and set yourself up for success. Take time to consider the most important questions:

* What do you enjoy most about the work you do now?

* What are your greatest strengths?

* What areas would you prefer to steer clear of in the future?

* Who are the key people and resources you'll need to help make your dream career manifest itself?

* What about finances - will you be borrowing money, or dipping into your savings as a way to get the plan off the ground?

* How can you manage your expenses to successfully make the transition without hurting your bank account?

If you're starting to feel overwhelmed, not to worry. There are qualified professionals who can help you "get to know yourself all over again," make the best choices, and prevent you from making any hasty moves in your career that you may regret later. As a certified career coach who has helped countless individuals discover the profession that's a perfect fit for them, I can help you make a positive career change, one step at a time.

Because this is a process that usually takes time, I encourage you to start now. Take action while you are feeling more stable, and not reckless or impulsive. If you already are really unhappy and on the verge of desperation, that's okay too, but there are things you can do right now to help yourself feel better and remain on steady ground with respect to your career. If you're reading this article, you're taking the first step... so pat yourself on the back!

One of the things I see people do is take a job that meets some of their needs, but not all of them. You need to consider all of the components to a satisfying career. To learn about these components, and much more, you can purchase a recording of my Love Your Job! Finding a Career that FITS Teleclass at http://www.halliecrawford.com/products.html.

If you're serious about making a career change, you'll need to create a transition plan and set intermediate goals for steps you need to take along the way. In another upcoming NCMA article, I will address this further. For now, know that you need to create a plan, and mentally prepare yourself. Here are four preliminary actions you can take immediately:

1. Commit yourself. How committed are you to finding a career that fits, on a scale from 1-10? If it's not at a 10, what do you need to do to move it up the scale?

2. Learn to overcome obstacles. Obstacle 1: not knowing what to look for in a job (so you take one that is "good enough" that you don't truly enjoy). Obstacle 2: your own disempowering beliefs. Are you ready to move past/blow through these obstacles? I have faith that you can do it!

3. Get support. I'm being totally honest when I say: it really helps to have the support of group or a career counselor to remind you to stay positive and focused. My contact information is below if you'd like more information from me.

4. Claim your life. There never is a perfect time to do this and you can always come up with excuses/reasons not to. The key is to minimize the risks by getting the support you need.

I myself was able to very successfully make my career transition in large part because of my own coach. She helped me create my plan, remain positive, move forward, identify what I wanted to do, and overcome obstacles. You can do this, too. I encourage you to take a stand for your life and what you want!

Isn't it time you found a career that fits?

Career Transitions: 4 Preliminary Tips That Will Get You on the Career Path to Success

Not happy in your current job? Thinking about making a career change? Dynamic lifestyles and an uncertain economy are just two of many reasons to consider a new occupation, or even an entirely different field than the one you're in now. Trust me; as a career counselor who has helped many people reinvent themselves professionally, I can assure you that you're not alone!

Maybe you've seen some layoffs at your company and "the fear factor" has you searching for alternate options and wanting more satisfaction out of your work. Perhaps you crave a more flexible work situation, one that allows you to balance home and career more effectively. Whatever your circumstance, one thing's for sure: you're unhappy or unsettled in your current job and you want to do something about it.

When you start to get the itch, it's time to make an assessment and begin to set early goals. You may wonder, am I really ready for a career transition? How can I best prepare myself for a change? But even before you delve into the components of a satisfying career, it helps immensely to cultivate a healthy and positive mental outlook. People who are successful at making a change are the ones who are willing to overcome their fears, doubts and insecurities in order to make it happen. You, too, can be one of these people...

Keep these preliminary tips in mind before forging ahead on your path to a more fulfilling and rewarding career!

1. Commit yourself to making a change.

Something that is incredibly important to any change you make in your life is your level of commitment. You have to be committed. How committed are you to finding a career that fits, on a scale from 1-10? If it's not at a 10, what do you need to do to move it up the scale? The time to ask yourself key questions is now. Do your research, so you know what questions to keep in mind. Contact a career expert who can help you become reacquainted with your goals and dreams. Explore career websites. Take personality tests. You will find that the more time you invest in career opportunities and self-discovery, the more committed to the cause you'll become.

2. Learn to overcome obstacles.

To be successful in changing career paths, you need to learn to overcome obstacles you will encounter along the way. The obstacles I see time and time again for people wanting to make a career change are: not knowing what to look for in a job (so they take one that is "good enough" that they don't truly enjoy) and negative beliefs--not believing they can successfully make the change. With practice, you can retrain your mind to see past perceived limitations, which are only a figment of your imagination anyway! With sufficient self-exploration, you will be able to pinpoint the exact qualities of the ideal career for you... and even the characteristics that you don't want in a career.

3. Get support.

I was able to very successfully make my career transition into coaching in large part because of my own coach. She helped me create my plan, remain positive, move forward, identify what I wanted to do and learn to overcome obstacles. I'm being honest when I say: It really helps to have support from a group or a coach to remind you to stay positive and focused. My contact information is below if you'd like more information from me.

4. Claim your life.

My last thought for you... is to claim your life. There never is a perfect time to make a drastic career change, and you can always come up with excuses/reasons not to. You do need to take some kind of risk and perhaps step out of your comfort zone. The key is to minimize the risk and be smart about it. Get support from a career coach like me or someone else who can provide solid guidance and the resources you need to move ahead with your plans.

If you have any questions about making a career change, discovering what type of career best suits your skills, or determining the key components of a career that fits, explore my website details below and then get in touch! I'd love to hear from you.

All the best for a rewarding and fulfilling career doing what you love!

Some Useful Tips For Data Entry Jobs

www.employmentmag.com

Data entry jobs are among the most profitable jobs in today’s IT world. There are thousands of employers seeking for data entry clerks of different proficiencies and specialties. You can find millions of data entry jobs posted on internet at various websites. Most of these jobs are posted at freelance websites because new and novice people are always ready to do these jobs. If you are also on a freelance website searching for a data entry job, you should start with a low bid so that the employer can readily hire you for the job. Moreover, once your work is approved and appreciated, you can get truly long term projects only from a single client. And, if you have more than one client, you can forward the work of other clients to other reliable data entry clerks hence opening up your own small home based business. But this will take the things a little bit different and you will need to be something more responsible than just a freelancer.

If you are a novice on internet and seeking for data entry job, then you should understand that there are a number of blacklisted companies in the market ready to steal your money. These companies promise to give you relaxed deadlines work with huge earning potential. But they ask for a sign up or membership fee to register. This fee is never returned to you neither you are provided with the work to make money out of it. Hence, you end up with an empty pocket. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to have a market research of the employer before you start working with it. Many fake and scam data entry employers have very well designed websites hence attracting people. But these websites are discussed in bad words in forums and blogs. You should be a part of these forums and blogs so that you can also share your ideas, experiences and knowledge to help other novices.

Responsibility is of immense important for a data entry job. It is not only a tip to be extraordinarily responsible but also very necessary to have long term success with the employer. If you are a part time student and want to make money out of your spare time, then you should make sure that you will be able to give proper and regular time to the work. Responsibility is a very important factor which will help you in having long term relationships with the employer. Imagine yourself delivering late and degraded work to the employer. Obviously you will not be receiving any other large orders. And, in case of data entry jobs, the work is either true or false. There’s nothing of less quality. That’s why a greater responsibility, concentration and determination are required to give to work. Try to proceed with higher bids for reputed clients and gradually build a market reputation. It’s completely up to you to build your business standing in your online community. Your reviews and comments and ratings will be representing your services and skill level. So be careful, be learned and be determined.

My name is Kausar Khan and I run a very successful Internet business out of my home. I have been doing this business full time since 2003. Please do visit my websites Data Entry and Data Entry Jobs for more information.
