Most at home employers require you to have a quiet background while making or receiving calls, home office with computer, printer, and telephone, and high speed internet (Cable or DSL). Also, having a good resume and cover letter is a good idea. So many people apply for work at home jobs so this can set you apart from the rest of the applicants.
