Can I Really Make Money At Home Filling In Online Surveys?Written by Nicole Boles
It’s true, this is a very viable approach to many stay at home moms, and dads, college students, retirees, and you name it. No one really believed you could actually earn a monthly income just from getting involved with survey companies and focus groups. It is a simple approach to earning an honest income at home. Most people who desire to work at home, don’t have 8 to 9 hours a day to devote to working, therefore filling in surveys and participating in focus groups is perfect job. The reason for this is that you can accept whatever assignments you choose and work on them, whenever you choose. The beauty of this job is that when you put your kids to bed at night, you can actually go sit down at your computer and fill out 2 to 3 surveys and earn about $80 to $100 for your time. To give you more assurance that this is a career you can have at home, take today for example, I got a phone call this morning to invite me to participate in a focus group – pay is $85 for one hour, when I went to my email I had a consumer review survey, paying $15 for 30 minutes. I also had invites to 2 surveys that paid $5 for 10 minutes each of my time. So for one day, I made $110 for less than 2 hours’ work. It is a beautiful thing! Companies in United States and Canada spend an average of $250 billion in advertising. These companies need to know what public wants and what they will buy. They also need to know which of their marketing campaigns would encourage consumers to purchase their products. This is where survey fillers come in. These companies need your opinion and will pay you handsomely for it. It is imperative to their business to have an everyday persons’ opinion on their products and services. For these companies and for paid survey filler, it is a win-win situation. Think you would be interested in getting paid for your time, opinions and observations? Read on…

Take jobseeker in Alabama who, knowing that his IQ was far above average and that in course of his life had learned valuable skills allowing him to function at a very high level, embellished his resume by adding a doctorate that he had never earned. And knowing that because he had never graduated from college or earned a degree he was forever kept away from best jobs and highest salary. So it seemed only a little white lie to add Phd., to academic credentials on his resume. After all he could talk talk and walk walk in his defense industry specialty.The gentleman was so wrong – in any high security position a background check will be a priority and he, of course, did not survive his. Now, he may have had a good job for a short time, but because of this indiscretion, could be forever ruined in that industry. Fortunately for him, his employer did recognize his value and decided to keep him on and send him to school. This story has a happy ending but it is certainly exception rather than rule. The truth is, lying on your resume is just plain stupid, and ranks right up there with other 10 most stupid things people do in their lifetimes. In fact, lying at any time is single act that gets most people in most trouble - trouble in work, in relationships, trouble everywhere. If you have weaknesses in your work history, references, or credentials before you lie about it consider that a skilled resume development specialist can assist you in highlighting what you can do, have done, and will do well for an employer.

Your job is to convince that employer that you are right person – most employers know that there are very skilled job seekers out there, not all of them with impeccable credentials, and will be willing to overlook certain weaknesses if everything else is in place.
