Q:    Can I use HTML tags?
A: You can use basic html tags to add bold, italics, and font colors to your listing.

Please do not use advanced html tags such as forms as they cause problems with our system and may result in your listing not being posted.

Basic tags:

To make paragraph breaks, use the <p> tag.

For bold and italics, enclose the desired text in tags like this:

<b>For bold text</b>
<i>For Italic text</i>

To make a link "clickable" for your email address or link within your listing description, use the following tags:

For a link:
<a href="http://www.yourwebsiteaddress.com">Click Here To Apply</a>

For an email address:
<a href="mailto:you@yourdomain.com">Click Here To Email Me</a>

You can even force the subject of the email to track your responses:
<a href="mailto:you@yourdomain.com?subject=2Work-At-Home.com Listing">you@yourdomain.com</a>

<font color="red">To change the color of the text</font>

Q:    How can I make paragraph breaks in my listing?

Q:    Are there any types of listings that are not allowed?
A: We do not allow listings for "envelope stuffing", "ad placing", "chain letters" to name a few. It is important that you read our
[Legal Terms of Use] prior to posting a listing to be sure that your listing meets our guidelines.

In addition, if there are any fees involved at any point with your opportunity, this must be disclosed in the listing. Failure to do so may result in your listing being removed.

Q:    When must a listing go in the Home Business Category?
A: If you do not require the applicant to file an I-9 form, and they are not actually employed by you, then your listing belongs in the Home Business Category. The only exception to this is for contract or freelance positions where you hire the applicant for a specific project or time frame.

Also, if there are any fees involved at any point with your opportunity, this must be disclosed in the listing. Failure to do so may result in your listing being removed.

For more information on our posting guidelines, please see our [Legal Terms of Use].

Q:    I made a mistake when I posted my listing. How can I fix it?
A: You can log into your account and modify your listings at any time, 7 days a week- 24 hours a day. Simply login and select Manage Listings from the menu. This will give you several options including the ability to modify, renew, upgrade or view the statistics for each of your listings.

When you revise a listing, the changes are immediately visible to job seekers.

Q:    I don't want my contact information visible in my listing. Can I post without including my email address or name?
A: Contact information does not need to be included in your listing. Applicants will be able to use our online application system to send their responses/resumes to you.

Applications are available from your account page. To view them, just log in to your account and select View Applications from the menu. You'll be able to view the details of each application, obtain the contact information, and delete them when they are no longer needed.

back to top

Q:    How will applicants respond to my listing?
A: That's up to you. You can choose to include specific application instructions and contact information within your listing (typically in the "requirements" section).

Alternatively, you can instruct applicants to use the "Apply Online" function. Applicants can then send their resumes or letters of interest directly to your account page. This prevents your own email box from being flooded, eliminates unwanted inquiries and protects your privacy.

back to top

Q:    I don't want applicants to use the online application system. Can that option be removed?
A: While the Apply Online function cannot be deleted from specific listings, you can simply include specific instructions directing applicants to respond directly to you and not to use the online system.

Q:    How can I keep my listing at the top of the search results?

A: The most effective way to ensure that your listing remains at the top is to post a Featured Listing. Featured Listings are included in the box at the top of every page of the search results as well as in the regular search results. Click Here To See An Example.

Also, when it's time to renew your listing it is best to post a new listing and allow the old one to expire. This is because new listings are always at the top of the search results. When you renew a listing, it does not change the original posting date and so it does not go back up to the top of the listings.

back to top

Q:    Will I be notified when my listing expires?
A: Yes, we send 2 email reminders to let you know that your listing is due to expire. The first reminder is sent one week prior to expiration and the second is sent the day before it expires.

Q:    I renewed my listing, but it didn't go back up to the top of the search results. Why?
A: The search results are sorted by the date posted so that new listings are always shown at the top. When you renew a listing (rather than posting a new listing), it does not change the original posting date and so it does not go back up to the top of the listings.

When it's time to renew your listing it is best to post a new listing and allow the old one to expire.

back to top

Q:    Will my listing go back to the top of the search results if I update it?
A: No, updating a listing does not put it back to the top of the search results. The listings are always sorted by the date added so that when you post a new listing, you can be sure that it will be at the top of the list.

back to top

Q:    What does it mean to upgrade a listing?
A: In addition to the regular job listings, there are Featured Listings. Featured Listings are included in the box at the top of every page of the search results as well as in the regular search results.
Click Here To See An Example.

These listings are limited to 6 per page and are rotated evenly so that each Featured Listing has equal exposure. Featured Listings are also given priority placement in The Job Listings Weekly.

A regular listing can be upgraded to Featured status at any time.

Q:    If I delete a listing, will all of the applications that were sent be deleted also?
A: Yes. Be sure to retrieve all applications for a job listing before deleting it.

Q:    If I post a 2 or 3 month listing, will it be featured more than once in The Job Listings Weekly Ezine?

Q:    Can I upgrade a regular listing to be a Featured Listing once it's already been posted?
A: Yes, regular listing can be upgraded to Featured status at any time. When you upgrade your listing, you will be charged a prorated amount based on the number of days that the listing will be Featured.

To upgrade a listing, log in to your account and select Manage Listings from the menu. You will have the option to Upgrade any listing from here.

back to top

Q:    If I upgrade an existing listing, will the charge be prorated?
A: When you upgrade your listing, you will be charged a prorated amount based on the number of days that the listing will be Featured.

back to top

Q:    I posted a Featured Listing, but it's not showing up in the Featured Box. Why?
A: Featured Listings are limited to 6 per page and are rotated evenly so that each Featured Listing has equal exposure. When there are more than 6 Featured Listings active in our database, they go into rotation. If you refresh the page, you'll see your listing appear in the box. We've tested this extensively and have found that having any more than 6 Featured Listings at a time drastically reduces the response rates. Limiting them to 6 keeps the response rate high for all Featured Listings.
