telecommute

Obtaining a work at home or telecommute position can be difficult. Competition is fierce for these jobs. Oftentimes, the hiring manager or recruiter gets substantially more resumes for a telecommuting/work at home/remote/virtual position, that he or she gets for a traditional outside of the home job.

So, what can you do to help you stand out from the crowd? Brainbench is there to help. There are about 20 free certifications that you can get including MS Excel 2007, MS PowerPoint, 2007, MS Word 2007, MS Windows Vista Desktop, Java 2 Fundamentals, and many others. A lot of the free certifications are in the IT area. There are about 600 other Certification Tests, including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe PageMaker, Internet Research Techniques and Resources, QuickBooks, Quicken, and many, many more. Most of the fee based certifications come with a $49.95 fee.

Besides the individual skill certifications, Brainbench offers Job Role Certifications. I
saw quite a few that were relevant to the telecommuting world. Positions such as Editor, Financial Analyst, Market Research Analyst, Web Administrator, Web Designer, Legal Secretary, IT Manager, Human Resources Professional, Technical Writer, and the list goes on.

So, if you want to stand out from the crowd, a Brainbench certification, may just help to give you a leg up on your competition.
