Homebased Jobs - Building your Portfolio

Before you start sending in your CVs to a job posting on an online classifieds or start bidding, make sure you build up a good portfolio to showcase to your potential clients. In homebased jobs, establishing who you are and what you are capable of doing are the key factors that will lead you to success.

Especially for newbies, you cannot get any project especially when what you only have in hand is your CV that you usually use to apply for a traditional job.

How to build your very own portfolio? It all depends on what your skills are. If you want to apply for a writer, make sure you have a sample article or might as well have a blog that will showcase your talent in writing and how well-versed you are with the English language. If you are into web development, having your very own website will do the trick.

Most likely a newbie will never get noticed not as long experience wised... the newbie has a lot to offer compared to other applicants or bidders. It is a very tight game for almost everyone who wants to have a career on homebased jobs.

Remember, you are selling your services to your potential clients. They want to see what are you capable of and if you have what it takes to render the services in consonance with their standards. Make sure that you have an updated portfolio every now and then. Having homebased job is a matter of having a very good sales pitch for the services that you are trying to offer and skills.
