Nanette Gomez

Nanette Gomez started her work at home job search in March 2001 when she had her first child. She diligently searched for a way to earn enough income from home to allow her to stay with her child instead of incurring the costs of daycare and commuting back and forth to a worksite.

At first, there wasn’t much for online telecommuting work, so she had to find work elsewhere. After awhile, online jobs became more available to her, so she was able to find some that were in her areas of expertise.

Nanette, initially, started working full time at home with up to 4 jobs at a time. She soon realized that these jobs took up much of her time within a day; not allowing for too much family time, which is why she wanted to work from home in the first place. This realization helped to make the decision to cut back to part time hours, so she could spend more time with her children.

After six years of telecommuting, she has held many types of jobs in the Data entry, legal document coding, order entry, invoicing (billing) and accounts receivable fields. All of these have given her a great deal of experience, which has given her enough confidence to start her own virtual assistance business.

Nanette has learned so much over the years and even admits that she too was scammed at a time when she was so desperate to find work from home. However, the experience turned out to be a good one, because she made a group of friends who shared much of the same experiences as her. They became a strong group to network with and vent frustrations to.

Nanette believes in having an arsenal of tools to help in a work at home job search. One of those tools that she recommends is Telework Recruiting, which is a paid membership site that helps one find telecommuting job leads when they don’t have the time to do it themselves.

Nanette offers her advice, to others who are searching for telecommuting work, which is to “Be persistent, it will take time but  with diligence and hard work you will find something and you just never know where it will take you.”
