It's nice to have exclusive information that's specific to your city and its needs. However, when it comes to working from home, you don't exactly need a city-specific guide. Sure, there might be some work from home jobs in Seattle that are different from work at home jobs in L.A., but for the most part, working from home allows you to work for anyone from anywhere. However, some jobs might be location-specific because of their nature. For example, if the Seattle newspaper needs a home-based feature writer, you probably wouldn't apply if you didn't live in the greater Seattle area. If a listing is location specific, it will usually say, unless of course it's an obvious assumption. Otherwise any work from home jobs in Seattle that you find can be performed from anywhere.
When it comes to choosing between work from home jobs in Seattle, you'll need to consider a few different things to make sure that you're choosing the right job for your skills and abilities, as well as your needs. For example, if someone is looking for a PHP programmer, and you're only versed in MySQL or HTML programming, you wouldn't apply for the position. And if it's a big project or full-time position, but you need a small gig, you wouldn't bother because you can't do the work. You should apply to all jobs that meet your needs and skills, though, because just like a traditional job search, you'll often get about a 10 to 1 ratio of responses. That means if you apply to 10 work from home jobs in Seattle, you will generally get only one response, if any.
The competition for work from home jobs is even greater than traditional jobs because so many people can access the listings and apply for them. While a traditional job might recieve 100 responses, most home based job listings will generate thousands of responses, which means that you'll have that much more competition and you'll have to wait longer to hear a response. I actually applied for a project gig once and got a response a month later (I'd long since forgotten about the gig) asking if I could still do the work.
Work from home jobs in Seattle aren't hard to find, but might be more complicated to land than a traditional job because of the huge amount of competition you'll have. Overall, as long as you've put in your best effort, and applied for jobs that you're qualified to perform, you'll be just fine. You simply need to be willing to take the time to find the jobs, apply, and wait, which might be grueling, but will offer great results.
After all, good things come to those who wait. But better things come to those who go out and chase them down.
