Aloha United Way’s Society of Young Leaders recently helped low income women make positive first impressions at job interviews by providing them with the proper attire to present themselves in a professional way so they may re-enter the workforce with confidence. According to a recent article by Maile Takashima (June 3, 2010) the Society of Young Leaders collected and donated more than $10,000 worth of women’s gently-used business wear and accessories to benefit YWCA of Oahu’s Dress for Success Program.

“The Society of Young Leaders is grateful that we were able to effectively mobilize our membership base to collect items to assist low income women become economically self-sufficient,” said Max Clini, chair of Aloha United Way’s Society of Young Leaders. “It is our hope that through our donation, we are able to provide these women with the self-assurance needed to get them back on their feet.”

Women in Business gives a thumbs up to the United Way’s Society of Young Leaders for helping other women become more self-sufficient.

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…

  • 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.

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.

LinkedIn provides an excellent platform for getting your name out to prospective partners, clients or employers. Whether you use LinkedIn to network for your home business or to look for a job, your LinkedIn profile is an important aspect of using LinkedIn that you need to get right.

Most people don’t realize that LinkedIn users often use LinkedIn search to find what (or whom) they’re looking for. You can optimize your LinkedIn profile for search just as you might optimize your website or blog with search engine optimization (SEO). The concepts are similar, only it’s a whole lot easier to optimize your profile for a LinkedIn search than it is to optimize a web page for Google search.

Beyond getting found in search, your LinkedIn profile also needs to be professional and suit it’s purpose – whether that’s to market your home business or market yourself to employers to get a job. Here are some tips that will allow you to create a great LinkedIn profile that will not only get found but that will encourage others to want to know more about you and what you have to offer.

Keeping the distractions of home down to a dull roar is essential if you’re trying to get work done at home or run a home business.

It happens to just about everyone who works at home long enough: On a day that’s particularly busy for the business, 30 calls come in for other family members. In between those, telephone solicitors make you question your sanity. Add to this the fact an important client is supposed to call but you know she can’t get through and you’ll have a recipe for a mini nervous breakdown.

What can you do? This work at home tip will get you on track in no time.
