When I was looking for a home based data entry position I read one confusing job description after another. Employers seem to make things as complicated as possible, targeting the perfect employee when advertising jobs. They want motivated people who are willing to work for nothing, or people who show loyalty but don’t expect any in return. I’m quite happy being my own boss, thank you very much! Why anyone would want to go to a job interview and be judged by someone who has no right to judge is beyond me.

I just had an afternoon sleep. Try doing that if you don’t work from home. I really should’ve been typing this blog post about eight hours ago but better late than never. Creating my own data entry position from scratch was the best thing I ever did. It doesn’t pay really well at the moment but I’m hoping it will one day. The thing I like best is the amount of freedom I have, although I have to be careful not to get caught sleeping on the job. I’d love to be able to employ another data entry operator one day. I just think it would be great to be the boss of someone.

I’m ready to see my balance rise. I’ve been entering data like a man on a mission and now I want to eat the fruits of my labour. Working from home is like playing at work, you have to be careful not to get caught. I want to start earning more money. If I don’t, it’s hard to imagine my effort has been worth it. I’m not about to give up though. I’m in it for the long haul. I just wish the amount of money I was making was more in proportion with the amount of data I’ve been entering. Then again, it probably is!

Whenever I look through the advertised jobs in the local paper lately they all seem to be part time. Data entry positions are hard to find whether you’d prefer to work from home or commute to an office in town. I’m glad I’m not unemployed at the moment. The current climate does not auger well for those adrift from the workforce. If I hadn’t started my own data entry business when I did, I may very well have been lining up in the dole queue or reluctantly accepting a part time job doing something I didn’t want to do.

The way you market yourself is very important. The fact that I’m so good looking makes it a bit easier for me but I’ve still got to put in some effort to maintain my position as Australia’s handsomest data entry operator. What is the best way to sell yourself online today? I’m glad you asked. I haven’t got any answers unfortunately but its good to get the question out there. If I was answering an ad for a data entry position I would just use the stock attributes every employer is always looking for. I would say I’m trustworthy, honest and really appealing to the eye.

Starting my own home based business was never about being my own boss. It was more about employing the worker within. When I think back I guess there was always a little data entry operator trapped inside me waiting to be released on an unsuspecting world. He made his way into the realms of reality through the tips of my fingers as I typed like a demon on my computer keyboard. Entering data is the most exciting thing a true data entry operator can do. If he says it’s not, don’t believe him. He’s trying to seem cool!

I wish you could walk a mile in my shoes. I wish there were enough typing jobs for everyone who wanted one. I wish I could make more money working from home as a data entry operator than the average lawyer makes in a day in court. Well, there goes my three wishes and not one addresses the whole world peace issue. People seem to be more selfish these days, don’t they? Most data entry operators care only about themselves and worry only about finding the data they need to enter to survive.

A lot of confident, potential employees can seem aggressive to their possible employers. If you sit down at your job interview and say something like, “employ me or else!” the person sitting opposite you, the one you want to be your new boss, may feel intimidated. You probably won’t be hired for the position as a result. You would be better off just acting naturally and if aggressive is your natural style; maybe you should start your own data entry enterprise and start working from home. That way you can be as forceful as you like without putting anyone off.

If you have ever tried to search for jobs online you know how frustrating it can be. You get excited when you read the description in the search results but when you navigate to the page in question you find nothing but rubbish. I hate those sites which lure you with promises of earning thousands of dollars a month to work from home in a data entry job, only to disappoint you by making you pay for information. Most people would be wary and refuse to be tricked into spending their hard earned money, but some individuals pay for information which ends up being useless.

I haven’t come across any employment opportunities for typists in a while? Not that I’ve been actively searching mind you. It can’t be easy for those dedicated data entry clerks and virtual assistants out there. They spend hours typing every day just to hone their keyboard skills in the hope that, one day, they will find a secure and rewarding career. I learned to type while I was working for an Australian search engine optimisation company a few years ago. One of my duties was to enter data so it was important for me to learn how to touch type.
