Work at Home Fail

There's no better way to start the new year than diving in deep with the intentions of making all the money you possibly can. If you're reading this and you're one of those people who thinks money is a four-letter word, this isn't the place for you. 

I believe in and seek abundance. The more I have - the more of a blessing I can be to others. 

I came across a work from home gig on Facebook. It was posted on a page that I trust by a blogger who specializes in finding legit opportunities. I read through it and set aside some time to start the application process. 

The position entailed calling apartment communities and completing phone surveys. Sounds easy enough doesn't it?! The pay was $10/hour and the project only lasted 4-6 weeks. Not bad at all. And you could even have noise going on in the background while making your calls.

The first thing you have to do is complete an assessment. 

Listen. This was no easy test. There were 30+ questions and almost every one contained multiple parts, which ends up being more like 70+ questions. And these weren't no multiple choice kinds of questions either. It involved reading - thoroughly - and writing out your answers. In sentences. 

After spending about two and a half hours and completing eight questions, I put it down to take a break. All of your reference materials weren't on one document. There were two different places you toggled back and forth to get your answers. I kept telling myself, "If you make it through this test - the work won't be that hard." I started back on the assessment again the next day and spent about 45 minutes on two questions.

Needless to say, I got a headache and tossed that shit aside. Permanently. 

Did I tell you if you miss more than THREE questions you won't be considered?? If this is what work at home jobs consist of - I ain't about that life! 

I totally understand having a process in place to get the right people to ensure the success of your project. But in my opinion, this was a little but too much. I seriously had flashbacks of studying for my real estate exam. 

So in conclusion: this initial work from home attempt didn't quite work out. 

I'll keep you posted on anything else I find.
