• Monster

Tip:  I suggest you begin by setting up a simple profile on Monster.com.  It will save you a lot of time further down the line.  When your profile is complete, Monster will display jobs that relate to your experience.

Steps for searching the Monster.com database.

1. Underneath the search toolbar, click on Advanced Search to the far right of the screen.
2. Enter one of your best search terms in the keyword field (the third field located from the top).  In my example I will use “home agent” (without the quotes). For the second keyword use remote and for the third use virtual.
3. Leave the title, location, and company field blank.
4. Set the  Job Posting Date field  to the last 14 days (This will eliminate companies that are advertising repeatedly on the site.)
5. Leave the rest blank and make sure that the include non-tradtional jobs in my results box is unchecked.
6. Click the search box.

Now Monster will do all the work for you.  There will be a variety of home-based position delivered but they will be blended with the rest – however because of the keywords that we used, it will be easier for you to distinguish between the two.
