Serial Entrepreneur Lesley Spencer Pyle has started a new venture www.HireMyMom.com, a service linking work at home Moms with companies looking for professionals providing remote services.
Normally I advise my readers not to deal with any employment companies charging fees to the employee for placement. www.HireMyMom.com deliberately breaks this "rule".
Why?
As Lesley says...
"We want to make it VERY appealing to businesses and individuals to post jobs and projects to our Mom Professionals. If we charge a fee, we will not get as many to post. On the other hand, so many moms are so eager to get work from home, they are more than willing to pay our nominal (less than $10 per month) fee for us to market the site to businesses and individuals who may need their services."
She also encourages Moms to take their applications seriously on www.HireMyMom.com.
"They should make sure they are putting forth the most professional image they can and only responding to jobs or projects they are truly qualified for. Businesses are not going to use their services if they do not appear to have experience or expertise for that particular job. Sending sloppy emails, unprofessional questions or resumes can hurt their chances as well as hurt the reputation of our site in general."
Good advice for any job hunt.

Thanks for writing about this, I'll keep it in mind! If I get the part-time Library of Congress job (30k, which isn't bad!), maybe I could find different temporary projects to work on through this site.
