Last night, I recieved an e mail, requesting me to do 2 letters to Congress http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gifI wrote them up this morning, tho Im not pleased with them and getting ready to send them in. I've never nor have i ever had to do this before. I tried my best tho. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley19.gif

Thank you for the tip and good luck everyone!!

i got the whole write the two letters too, i so dont want to do it. I mean what is the point of them Edited by: tonit22

Are you able to use MagicJack for this position? Also,huw muchRAM do you need for your computer?

i got the whole write the two letters too, i so dont want to do it. I mean what is the point of them

http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gifWhat's the point of them? Well if you read the email that asked you to take the test, it explained to you I am sure that this job requires phone and WRITING skills... so for them to know if you are a qualified writer or not, you have to do an assessment --so if you dont want to do the test, I would say the position might not be something you would want to do -- it involves a lot of writing on a daily basis... hope this helps!

Are you able to use MagicJack for this position? Also,huw muchRAM do you need for your computer?

Yes, you can use Magic Jack, I dont think that there are any RAM specifications, but to use Magic Jack with it working well you would want a good amount of RAM in your system. Just check out the technical requirements on their website -- www.onpointathome.com (http://www.onpointathome.com)

Don't be afraid to do it if it's only because you think you don't have great writing skills. I just finished my second assessment last night and just received the response. They tell you up front that the second assessment will be reviewed by an editor and you will receive suggestions for improving your letter/writing skills. It's not as difficult as I expected it to be.

LMAO!!! maybe i posted that wrong, i know the point of them that was my whinny i dont want to to do it, but i will do it voice. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif

http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gifhttp://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gifPoint taken! I just wanted to be sure you knew that writing is something you would be doing alllll the time lol

http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gifgood looking out

for anyone who has been with them for a long time - do they have any projects that lean a little more to the 'left'? Everything they ever had before was pretty 'right wing'.

Does anyone make 40 hours a week with OnPoint? Just curious about the realistic number of hours. Thanks.

Just my opinion but I thought a lot they do leans to the left... and not right wing. JMO

What are the letters to congress about? Do you make up something!!!????? Or do they tell you what to write to them about? Does everyone have to write to them about the same thing? I just applied and just want a heads up.

Does anyone make 40 hours a week with OnPoint? Just curious about the realistic number of hours. Thanks.

Your weekly minimum is 25 hours. You can schedule yourself up to 40 hours. It just depends if you want to put that amount of time in per week. There are times that a project may end mid week and there is a day or two till another starts, but they try to keep this at a minimum.

Each project has a "theme". You will be given the information you need for your project and you gather more information to include in your writing on the phone calls.

The projects are bi-partisian. I've never noticed them to sway one way or another and OPA will never take on any hot button issues. (abortion, gay marriage etc)

Who cares if they lean left or right......as long as they meet you in the middle with your check! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif

Wish you all the best with them.

I havent heard anything back, sux too, tho I know its only been since yesterday...I have to go back to work today, geesh I hate where I work at and am even dreading going back into that place!

Good luck to everyone who applies!

Well I wrote my two letters and sent them in as well so I guess now I am just waiting. smileys/smiley1.gif Hopefully I will hear back from them as I think this would be a great job for me. Good Luck to everyone else as wellsmileys/smiley32.gif

Thank you! I love advocacy groups and have a paralegal background. I'm applying now! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif

I have been waiting.. am starting to think i didnt get it.. and i really enjoyed writing those letters I even followed the link on how to properly do it.. has anyone heard anything? I am thinking of resending as its been almost a week..

I think they are backed up a bit right now. It usually takes 7-10 days to get a reply.

to littlejohn: Stick around here and you'll see that there are plenty of WAHJ's that are legit and do pay. Many of us work full time from home and make a decent living doing it.

I know it can be discouraging when you first start looking, but apply,apply,apply.

The WAHJ's are in high demand and many times employers get 1000's of applicants at a time. Just be sure to research and post here if you see any red flags. someone will be able to help you out. And you should never send $ in the mail for "training materials" for data entry etc. Check out the Newbie thread at the top of the list in this folder. There is a TON of info in there to get you started on your search. Good Luck and Welcome!

Did anyone apply for the creative part? I did almost two weeks ago but haven't heard anything.

I dont know anything about that part of it :-)

Bummer...thanks for replying though!smileys/smiley1.gif

Well I received my email I passed the first part and received the paperwork. I filled it out and sent it back in.smileys/smiley4.gif

grats rya :) still waiting to hear .. hate the wait part how long ago did you send in your letters?

Ireturned my assessment yesterday and am also curious how long (on average) before I will have feedback/ a response regardingmy performance.

Hello Everyone,

Can someone pm me the link to onpoint. I'd like to apply too.

Thank you, thank you.

Takexxxv

Sure, it is www.onpointathome.com (http://www.onpointathome.com) Good Luck~

It took me three days from the time I sent it in to the time I heard back from them. Now I am just waiting for the second part. I am really excited I hate waitingsmileys/smiley36.gif

Anyone have an update? I just recieved the 2nd part to the application process (writing 2 letters) and wanted to see if anyone has heard back since submiting their writing assessment.

I have been working for on point for almost three months now and I have to say, they are a great bunch of people to work with. They pay on time every week and are extremely flexible. The application process may take a bit, because they are swamped, but it's well worth the wait.

Bootsm,

Thanks for your response (and first post!). Did you have to write 2 letters during the application process?

Everyone has to write two letters, and then if you pass, there is another assessment (which I cannot discuss due to confidentiality)... good luck

Hi Crazymomma,

Did you enjoy the second assessment? I had a great time researching and writing the first one. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif

http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gifYes, I loved it -- however it is a little different than the first :-) I really cannot discuss details b/c of confidentiality :-) If you enjoyed the first, you will enjoy the second! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

I understand, and appreciate your candor.
I am glad to know it'll be fun...I love to write and do research.If it paid the bills and fed the fam, I'd be a professional college student... or at least hurry and finish my Master's!

http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gifhttp://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gifhttp://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

bootsm do you know anything about the design side?

does the first assessment have to be a full page or what? i got mine today and i'll be sending it back in the morning. i dont want to write too little or too much I have about 75 percent of page

also canthe 2 letters bein one document when i send it back. EX. one letter on page1 2nd letter on page 2Edited by: hopeolicious

I submitted the two letters and was denied. I wish the best of luck to those still hammering it out!

Im getting ready to write mine now. Yuck...

Do they hire people on as independent contractors or as employees?

Also, is it true that they now deduct $50.00 from your first paycheck for some fee? I think I read that somewhere on these boards awhile back, but I'm not 100% sure they were talking about this particular company. If someone could let me know, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

An average size letter is fine, I think. I would submit them in 2 documents, rather than combined in one.

They do not change an upfront fee. There was talk on this board about that, but it was not all factual.

I can't go into too many details here, b/c of confidentiality but there isn't a charge to work for them.

They hire IC's not employees

Thanks. I hope I did well http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif

bump

wanna how long before you heard you were told the writing was no good? am just wondering i resubmitted mine was worried they didnt recieve them

http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gifJust FYI, the HR ladies are in the middle of a nasty ice storm-- they do not live near each other, but it is spanning accross several states... so if you dont hear something, or get an email answered, that is most likely the reason!! Good Luck everyone

thanks just going nuts trying to find a second wahm job ...

Thank you very much for answering my questions cristina. smileys/smiley1.gif

sounds like interesting work, i applied thanks

crazymomma and christinaw,

Quick question: I just got the e-mail from HR asking me to complete the paperwork... Did you ladies fax or e-mail them back as .pdf documents?


Thanks!

smileys/smiley4.gif

FB

http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gifYes, I would use PDF, makes the documents a lot smaller to send... I used Nitro PDF to convert mine, but there is a free PDF converter out there too... I think it is www.freepdfconvert.com (http://www.freepdfconvert.com) - Good Luck!

Thanks for the link, crazymomma. Looks like our scanner is having driver issues, so if I can't troubleshoot it tonight I'll fax them tomorrow.

I sent my 2 letters to congress in on the 3rd and know they got them, still waiting to see if I passed.

you can always email them and ask.Edited by: Clairejoy

hsmom -- you really need to edit or remove your post. You have signed a confidentiality agreement, and you are NOT supposed to talk about the details of the second assessment. If you have questions, just email them, I am sure that they will help you out! I dont want to see you get in trouble for talking about it on here... http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif

I am so excited, I finally heard back from them for a new project just waiting for the paperwork.. I hope to hear soon training starts tuesday!!
