Hi everyone! I've lurked around here for awhile now, I'm not a Mom yet, but I am expecting our first in May :) I've been searching for a new job, as I'm miserable at my current job! Since we know I want to stay at home with the baby, and we aren't 100% sure we can do it on DH's salary alone, I decided to see what is available in the WAH field!

I spent a lot of time browsing and searching and applying this past weekend. I received a call back from a woman this afternoon, who I have set up a meeting with this evening to explore the business further. Has anyone heard of wahcareers.com? I *think* I bounced there from the WAHM website. I guess I should have kept better track of what I applied for lol!

When I spoke to her on the phone she gave me a brief description of the business. It's an "own your own business, but work with a team" type of thing. It's based on referrals and residuals, setting up customers with new accounts. I'm not 100% sold on the working based solely on commission thing, I'm kind of wary of it actually. Has anyone ever done this?

Any advice, tips, suggestions would be well appreciated :) Thank you!!

I haven't, but I just wanted to say welcome, CONGRATULATIONS, and good luck all at the same time, lol.  I can't wait to hear all about everything.  Lots of good changes for you in the future, that's for sure. :-)

I haven't heard of that one either.  But as long as their not charging any $$ for the information, its probably worth hearing them out.  Just keep an open mind and always keep in mind what you're comfortable with doing (parties, a lot of computer time, keeping an inventory to "hopefully" sell later, etc.). 

We'd love to hear back from you to see what they're all about.

Welcome to the group. I went to the website and it's not a home based opportunity.

What you describe...the referrals and the working with a team sounds very much like Melaleuca. You can view the corporate site at www.melaleuca.com They make a wide variety of household products. My suggestion is to try a few products as a customer. See if you like them. If you do, then by all means, give it a shot. I've been in direct sales over 25 years and am a strong direct sales supporter.

Thank you ladies! I decided against it due to the fact that I've never really done sales and would be afraid of trying to live off commission  based income when I had never really done it before. If we were in a position where my income was considered "extra" or a bonus, then I might give it a try!

I'll keep looking and will definitely come back here for advice and to let you all know if I find something :) Thanks again!
