Recently, while searching the web for work at home jobs for moms, we came upon an ad for a remote customer service job. You never saw the ad…well, not in our job leads anyway…because, while it sounded like a legitimate work at home job, the sad fact of the matter is that they were charging a fee for you to be trained. Let’s rephrase that: they were charging a rather high fee of $100 to train you in the specifics of their job description. Although we don’t doubt that the ad was for a legitimate work at home job, that they sought to profit from you in this way was a huge turnoff to us. However, we’ve since come to learn from a few work at home moms that this isn’t entirely uncommon.

Charging people to train for a position is just icky to us and if you ever encounter this in one of the work at home jobs for moms that we offer a lead on, please let us know. Further, we won’t judge you if you choose to pay for one of these jobs “training modules”, we want to make sure that you know that you don’t have to do so. Our advice is to continue looking for a WAH job, as there are many that don’t charge. As you know, we list job leads daily and will continue to bring you updates as we learn of them.
