How to Find Work from Home - Administrative Assistant (Secretary/ Medical Administrative Assistant)Jobs
Working as an administrative assistant from home is a good alternative job that can guarantee good income, but mostly really flexible hours, while saving on commuting, clothing and possibly on other, indirect, costs. Besides, many employers prefer to outsource administrative work than paying a hired employee in house.To find such job opportunities, which are often referred to as virtual administrative assistant positions, you need to follow several steps:
*Prepare a strong resume to highlight any administrative work experience. Your future employer is mostly concerned with your level of experience and how this can benefit their organization. Therefore, is extremely important to have a well-structured resume and to list any relevant working experience, volunteer work, education and awards or certifications granted. Besides, your resume should include outstanding referrals and testimonials to certify the quality of your work.
*Posting your resume on the Internet will help you discover some wonderful job opportunities, but will also enhance your options to be discovered by potential employers. The Web is increasingly becoming the home of a variety of job databases and freelance job postings where you may find job openings looking for virtual administrative assistants. On several job boards you may list your hourly work rates or the fees required for a specific project and you may post your resume online so that employers can contact you directly. Some of the most popular resources for job openings and resume posting for virtual administrative assistants are indeed.com, virtualassistants.com, virtualassistantjobs.com, and virtual-assistant-advice.com. Other websites that offer opportunities for freelance work are RentACoder.com and Elance.com.
*Besides posting your resume on the Internet looking for virtual assistant jobs, you need to shop your skills to area business. This includes informing business owners in your area about the benefits of hiring you as a virtual administrative assistant. By providing a cover letter and your resume you could possibly create a new position that would require working from home as a virtual assistant for a local business. All you need is good tactics for approaching local business owners in order to become a full-time employee or an independent contractor.
*Address your inquiry to organizations such as the International Virtual Assistants Association (IVAA.org) and the International Association of Virtual Office Assistants (IAVOA.com). Such organizations provide virtual assistants with training, certification, events, and networking to equip them with the necessary skills to perform tasks like setting appointments, word processing, spreadsheets, emailing and posting mail correspondences, electronic filling, and transcription from the comfort of their own home. Besides, you need to possess great communication skills, ability to multitask, excellent typing skills, and proficient skills in grammar and writing.
*Finally, you can always make the transition to working from home if you are currently employed as an administrative assistant in house. Explore your options with your current employer. In many cases, employers are willing to have their administrative assistants to work from home, trading off for a free office and saving money in office expenses.
To be qualified as a virtual administrative assistant you may possess a high school diploma or even a graduate degree. It all depends on the employer's needs, the type of business that you work for and the specific project. However, although there are no standard educational requirements to be hired as a VAA, you need to possess computer skills and be familiar with MS Office and different kinds of software. You may also pursue continuing education classes at a local community college in order to acquire the necessary skills and get further training in a particular area. Besides, there are numerous websites that provide virtual administrative assistant training for a fee, but you need to check if they are credible. As there is no nationally accredited virtual assistant training certification, some of these websites may be a fraud.
Another consideration is to have the proper equipment and resources in order to be able to work from home as you would do in house. This means you need to be equipped with a computer with a high speed Internet connection, fax machine, a printer/scanner/copier, two landlines and a home office that can promote a proper work environment.

Working from home Myths
So many people, especially those in management positions have false ideas about remote work and what it involves. Learning to distinguish reality from the myths will help enable and empower more companies to implement remote work programs. Working remotely requires mobile professionals not to buy into the myths, and instead promote the reality and potential that remote work arrangements can provide. Discover the myths of remote work and how to prevent them from becoming reality.1. Get Up When You Want Myth
Myth
You will still be bound by the hours of operation of your work place, so thinking that you don't have to start working until noon is a very bad idea to have and an even worse practice to get into.
Fact
You rely on onsite co-workers to be available when you need them, so it's important that you are considerate of their needs. Even when traveling you must still let your office be aware of when and where you can be reached, with applicable time differences taken into account.
2. Work When You Want Myth
Myth
Working when you want is part of the appeal of remote work. The reality is that you may be restricted to working within a specified set of hours each day. For example, some companies only have their computer system available and running for a set period each day. The system is not available beyond that time.
Fact
The hours you work should be put into any Remote Work Agreement to avoid problems and misunderstanding.
3. Work in Your PJ's Myth
Myth
You can work in your pj's every day or even work naked! Dress rules no longer apply.
Fact
People who get dressed properly each morning tend to have higher productivity and feel better about themselves.
Some people set up a routine for themselves where they get up and proceed just as though they were going to the office.
When traveling, you may wish to wear more casual attire until you reach your destination, then change into your suit or other appropriate attire.
4. All Play and No Work Myth
Myth
You can spend all day playing the latest computer games or work on perfecting your golf scores. You don't have to account to anyone for your time.
Fact
You will get found out and you could risk losing your job - not just the remote work arrangement. Save game playing for non-work time. When traveling by air or rail, play should be a last priority and only if completing any work is not possible.
Think of the impression you leave with others who may see you.
5. Social Phone Calls All Day
Myth
You can spend all day talking with friends and family. You don't have to worry about co-workers trying to reach you.
Fact
Tying up your phone with personal calls may cause you to miss important work related calls. This is very true when traveling as you may not have Internet access and cannot check e-mail as often. If you use your cell phone often and for non-work related matters you will be responsible for the charges incurred.
6. Visit with Family & Friends Myth
Myth
Spending time visiting eases isolation and is great while traveling.
Fact
Whether you are working from your home office or traveling to other locations, you should not use company time for visiting. Doing so violates the trust placed in you and shows no respect for the company that you work for.
7. Never See the Office Again
Myth
You will never have to return to the office site again, for any reason.
Fact
For some this just may be one of the biggest reasons to work remotely. You can avoid all the distractions, stay out of the politics and rumor mills. This is not realistic.
If one reason that has motivated your desire to work remotely is to get away from people in the office, please don't broadcast that! It is in your best interest to keep quiet and just enjoy privately that you won't have to be there.
8. Royal Treatment
Myth
You are owed and entitled to all the luxuries that hotels offer while traveling, on the company dime of course.
Fact
If you believe this, you are mistaken.
You are not there for your personal pleasure and the bills are being paid by your company. Use common sense when traveling and don't go overboard with room service or other expensive activities unless you are prepared to pay for them yourself and use them on your own time.
9. Gadgets Galore
Myth
You need all the latest and greatest gadgets known to work remotely.
Fact
Use only the mobile gear that allows you to accomplish your job and that is absolutely required to do so.
Your company has a budget to follow and providing mobile workers with all the latest and greatest mobile gear can have significant impact on their bottom line.
Remember part of the appeal remote work offers company is saving money - eating the budget with mobile gear defeats that purpose.
10. Out of Sight = Out of Mind
Myth
You will be forgotten about and never receive another promotion or raise again.
Fact
Just because you are not in the office everyday does not mean you have fallen off the promotion track. With well trained managers and proper evaluation procedures in place, remote workers should have no fear of losing out on promotions because of their work environment.

Work from home - Happy at home Medical Biller
Due to the rapid growth of the healthcare industry, Medical Billing and Coding professionals have become incredibly in-demand in the workforce. Because of this great need for certified Medical Professionals, at-home jobs and consulting start-ups have become more common in this field.
How Does At Home Medical Billing Work?
There are generally two types at-home Medical Billing jobs: Professionals who work for an in-house Medical Billing department, but are able to perform their job out of their home, and at home consultants who do Medical Billing on contract for a variety of different companies.
Medical Billers Who Work For a Company
In most cases, it is very difficult to get a Medical Billing job that allows you to work from home without first establishing yourself as a reliable worker within a company. Medical Billers have a lot of financial responsibility with a doctor’s office or firm, and therefore your employer must find you to be detail oriented, responsible, and trustworthy. However, once you establish yourself at a company, it is very possible to make the switch to at-home medical billing.
Medical Billing Consultants
Medical Billing consultants work independently, and acquire clients whom they bill for on a freelance basis. Smaller offices or clinics that don’t want to hire a full-time employee or offer benefits may choose this type of Medical Billing professional. To start your own at home business, begin by writing your business plan, registering your business, printing business cards, and building a website. Then market your services to smaller companies in your area. Also scope out the job boards for offices in the healthcare industry that are hiring a Medical Biller, and offer them your services as an alternative.
At home Medical Billers will perform the following functions:
• Prepare statements for the insurance companies
• Entering patient information into Medical Billng software
• Mailing statements to patients
• Posting payments
• Managing unpaid claims
• Submitting Medical Billing reports to doctors
• Answering patient payment questions
At-Home Medical Billing Requirements
To do Medical Billing out of your home, you need a few supplies to make your business a success:
• A quiet office space
• Storage for files and patient records
• An area for assembling mailings
• Computer
• Printer
• Internet Access
• Telephone
• Fax Machine
• Copier
Medical Billing From Home Scams
Unfortunately, due to the popularity of working from home as a Medical Biller, many scams that misrepresent themselves as real jobs have surfaced. These types of scams are posted on websites such as Craigslist, and other job sites, and generally require you to pay them for a kit or some kind of guide that allows you to start your own business. How To Protect Yourself Constantly be on the lookout for scams. If a job requires you to pay a fee up front, it may be a scam.
There are also a few other steps you can follow to ensure that you are getting a legitimate work at home job.
• Ask for a list of references of other people who have purchased the “Getting Started” kit or guide. Make sure they give you more than just one or two; instead, require a list of names so that you can pick and choose whom you are going to contact.
• Check the name of the hiring company with the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General’s Office to see if any previous purchasers have filed any complaints against them.
• Search for the name of the company online. Often, disappointed customers will blog about their negative experience, or submit the name of the company that scammed them to discussion boards.
• If the hiring company is asking you to purchase a certain type of software, contact the company that makes the software and ask if there are any common problems or complaints that they are aware of.
• Allow a lawyer to review any contracts that you are asked to sign to make sure that they are legitimate and to explain portions of the contract that you don’t understand.

Starting a Home Business: Computer Repair Technician
If you are thinking about starting a home business, you may be interested to look into becoming a computer repair technician. Since the computer generally goes to the technician, it is possible to have the office at any location - even at home, though there may be times when a technician has to go to fix the computer.
Requirements
For most computer work, you do need to have a good amount of either education or experience. Though there are programs and degrees to train new computer technicians, most education comes from hand-on experience, so find someone who is "street smart" in computer technology to help tutor you. You do need to have a certificate of recognition to enter into most fields of work.
Responsibilities
If you become a computer repair technician, you may include building new hardware or updating software to fix internal issues (and creating or maintaining networks involving the computer). Sometimes, you may not be needed for repair, but needed to maintain the quality of computer work. Some more experienced technicians may work in system administration or to recover data.
You will also be expected to provide valid technical support. There may be times when a customer wants to call you outside of business hours because of ongoing issues they are experiencing. You will need to know what your plan of action will be at this time. Will you take the call? Will you outsource it? Will you let the machine pick up? Make sure your customer knows their options as they work with you to avoid frustration later. Keep up to date with computer upgrades so that you will be able to easily discern what needs to be done.
Issues that you may face could include everything from huge projects replacing hardware and operating systems to small repairs caused by viruses.
Some hardware that you may work with includes laptops, scanners, desktops, printers and routers. When you are working on any part of a computer, it is important to back up the customer's information to the best of your ability to ensure no content is lost.
When you are working with software issues, you may deal with simple settings changes or completely reinstall the software. You must be aware that reinstalling software may cause some information to have some settings changed, or worse, information lost if not properly backed up
Self-Employment
To freelance as an at-home computer repair technician, make sure you have office space available to spread out your work. You must remain very organized as to not mix up customer information. If possible, only work on one customer's computer at a time.
Business Plan
Make a business plan, and decide how much work you will need to meet financial goals. Know your products and information, and be able to give both price and time estimates to your clients to help ensure customer satisfaction. Figure out your prices and polices and stick to them. You will need to get a business license from your local courthouse.
Advertising
Market yourself by advertising locally and having a website. Since, in most cases you will need to work with physical machinery, you will probably want to keep your business local. Let your friends know that you are opening your own business so that they will be able to refer customers to you as well. Contact local businesses and let them know that you are a computer repair technician, and they will most likely come to you rather than to a corporate location.
Customer Service
Be honest with your customer about their computer problems and show them that you respect them. To a lot of people, their compu
ters contain all their information for work and life, and it is hard when it is not working (and they have to entrust it to a stranger). Give them excellent customer service, and they will refer you to their friends when their friends need computer assistance.
It may be possible to become subcontracted by some smaller companies and work as a consultant for them. In those cases, make sure you can be available to them by giving other customers a little longer of a time estimate. This way, other customers will not become upset, and they may be pleased if you finish early.

Medical Transcription Explained
Medical transcription is a growing industry that's a good fit for some who want to work from home. However, there are some scams that you should avoid. The more informed you are about medical transcription, the more likely you'll pursue legitimate opportunities.
Medical Transcription Jobs
You can land a medical transcription job as a contractor. The primary duty is to transcribe what a doctor, or other health professional, dictates while giving medical care. Doctors and hospitals need to bill your health insurance (unless you're paying cash) to receive payment for the care you receive. Your health insurance company often requires reports, letters, and other written documents from the doctor detailing the care you received before they'll pay. Doctors don't have the time to transcribe those details. That's where a medical transcriptionist comes in. While some hospitals and doctors will hire an employee to do this, the majority of health care providers will outsource it to a medical transcriptionist. Other duties include identifying discrepancies in medical reports and amending patients' records.
The field is expanding as the aging population continues to grow and require more treatment. This results in the need for more transcriptionists to help with the paperwork required by health insurance companies and government programs.
Medical Transcription Certification
You don't need formal training for medical transcription, but having a certificate makes you competitive. Doctors sometimes prefer to hire those who have completed a certification program beyond high school. You can get certified at your local community college or through a distance-learning program. It usually takes 1 year to complete a course and become certified. The course will cover medical terminology, grammar, punctuation, etc. If you already have experience in the medical field, you can just take a refresher course and shorten the time it takes to get certified.
You can become a Registered Medical Transcriptionist (RMT) or a Certified Medical Transcriptionist (CMT). The issue of certification must be considered carefully because although some doctors prefer it, others will gladly outsource work to a non-certified transcriptionist overseas. As a result, you may have to work for low pay, and therefore paying for a certification course may not be worth the time and money.
Medical Transcription at Home
Digital dictation technology makes it possible for you to work from home as a medical transcriptionist. It allows dictations to be sent over emails. If they still use analog dictation, then you'll receive it by mail or courier service. Many providers require a fast turn around. The faster you are, the more value you'll add and the more you'll get hired. Keep this in mind if you need more flexibility and control over your hours. Medical transcription entails working long hours, and it can be challenging. The willingness to work hard and fast is key to being profitable. To find a contract opportunity, research national transcription services online. You can also network with doctors and hospital personnel.
You can work at home as a medical transcriptionist, but you should never pay to join any "business opportunities". While you can earn a decent living eventually, plan for slow and steady growth as you work to improve your typing for dictation.
