Health & Fitness Tips for Freelance Work from Home Jobs Taking People

This post is in continuation with my previous two post on Freelance tips or you can say tips for people who undertake worm from home jobs online. You can reads the previous post in the links given below, also please fell free to share you feedback or experience with home based jobs. The two post are:

  1. Freelance Work from Home - Tips for freelancers
  2. Freelance Work from Home - Tips for freelancers Continued
Now this third post "Health & Fitness Tips for Freelance Work from Home Jobs Taking People" as the title suggest is not on how to improve earning from home based jobs or how to make online money. This post will simply guide you on health and fitness tips while working from home.

It has been quiet a long time I started working from home full time, initially I tried online jobs part time and on realization of the potential incomes I opted out of my full time job and started working from home. Initially none of my friends and relatives know but later when I was making sufficient amount of income I shared my secret that I was working from home for quiet some time. One of the most frequest question asked by most of the people was:

  1. Don't you get bored at home?
  2. How to you manage to work from home?
  3. How many hours you spent working now?
  4. Do you miss parties and team outings you had when in regular job?
These may be the fear among some people, however I never really get bored or felt like missing my regular job for parties or other facilities etc. Rather I tell all my friends and relatives that I am enjoying lot more while working from home and even I am making more money than my full time job. When I tell them about flexible work hours, time for friends & family members, leaves whenever you want etc then definitely home based jobs are lot more better. Now comming to health and fitness tips for people working from home.

One should take care of health while working from home as it has been seen that while working from home you tend to gain weight as there is less movement involved. Also while working from home most of the people take advantage of the time flexibility and end up working late in the night then eventually waking up late next morning thus disturbing daily routine or body clock. All these activities may lead to poor health if you are not taking care of your health. Below are some tips that may be helpful for you:
  • Join a health club -This will not only keep you fit but also you will have to spend an hour or two in gym thus you will have to manage your time well so as you don't miss the gym.
  • Choose morning time for the health club: Selecting the morning timings has a unique advantage. during my initial months working from home I use to work later in the nights and hence waking up very late, but the moment I changes my health club timing to morning I used to rise up early in the morning and hence I can easily wrap up my work early in the evening. One advantage is mostly health clubs have less crowd in the morning thus trainer gives you proper attentions ;)
  • Keep your weekend free. Try not to keep your work for Saturdays or Sundays. Though there can be some conditions when you may need to work on a weekend but don't make it a habit. Use your weekends for other works like watching movies, shopping, traveling, sleeping or whatever you like to do in free time.
  • Plan some vacations - Take a break from the work and plan some vacations ( You can check http://world-travel-information.blogspot.com/ for some top destinations to visit). Thus you can enjoy a break from the regular work and come back to work fully refreshed.

One may need to hunt another job after retirements because of the financial necessities. Sometime pension you get or the savings may not be sufficient to support unforeseen expenses. After retirement you don't have the benefits of health care plan from the company and you may need to opt for self-pay medical care.

Like the above mentioned causes there are many reasons you may need to search for some income sources even after retirement. For me personally it won't be a nice idea to go for any part time or full time job once again. It'd be nice if I can get some sort of income by working from home or something where I am the boss and I can fir my own working rules, times etc. Interestingly many big companies nowadays hire skilled person and allow them to work from home. Here is the list of work from home job opportunities for retired persons:

Time you need to spend can vary from 20 to 40 hours a week.

Online Juror Jobs for home: This is a new and emerging trend in home based jobs category. Many people are not aware so such kind of job opportunity and hence chances of getting success as an online juror are very high.

Golden Rules to Overcome Interview Fears


Interviews are always important and a successfull interview enables you to grab a job opportunity. This is applicable for both , person looking for a full rtime jobin a firm or one who is looking for work from home opportunities. In the case of later chances of physical interviews are less and a one-to-one interview only happnes whenthe person whome you are offering services is locatewd somewheree near your place or if it happnes that you met someone in a conference, shpopping mall or some other place rather than the online freelance portals or your website.

Here are some tips to overcome interview fears:

Do your homework
Do ample research on your role, the company and the industry. HR heads say an unprepared candidate starts to fumble and stutter, and appears anxious when asked questions about the industry and how the company is performing. You can get the latest news from the company's annual report, its website, press releases, and of course the internet.

Rehearse your answers
Rehearse answers to the possible questions you may be asked. There are always some stock questions applicants face during interviews - Tell us something about yourself; Why do you want to change your job; how do you see yourself growing in this organization; what are your strengths and weaknesses and such. It pays to rehearse the answers either in front of the mirror, or with someone else.

The first 5-7 minutes are crucial
First impressions matter. Be extremely careful, in the first five to seven minutes of the interview, about what you say, how you conduct yourself and what impression you allow the interviewer to form of yourself. A candidate should be careful about his way of speaking, posture, attitude and the way he carries himself.

Don't appear desperate
When you want something too much, you get more nervous. HR heads say interviews should be seen as an opportunity to meet and interact with new people, and not as a do-or-die situation. This will dramatically reduce stress. Asking a question or two in return at the end of an interview, also gives the impression that s/he is not scared or desperate for the job.

Follow interview hygiene
Follow some basic interview hygiene rules. Dress neatly and don't look tired and sweaty. This will boost your confidence. Never look sleepy or stare at the interviewer.
