Working for an Employer
|
Many people prefer to work for an employer rather than try to start a business of their own. Working for an employer can provide a better sense of "stability" (as stable as possible, anyways, in this age of layoffs), plus you often have many benefits not available to the self-employed. Not surprisingly, competition is fierce for work at home jobs. There are resources online to help you look for home based work for an employer ... but remember that you can also find opportunities right in your own back yard! This is actually one of the more effective methods for a lot of people. Companies know that telecommuting is attractive to many, and thus they don't advertise. Don't be shy - take your resume around town and talk to the Human Resources people for various companies. Be aware that your employer may expect you to start off working in the office full-time. Then, once you've proven yourself to be a reliable worker who can produce quality work with little or no supervision, they may allow you to telecommute one or two days of the week. Once they see that you're capable of doing your work from home, you can approach them again with a proposal to increase the number of days you telecommute. So don't be discouraged if at first you have to work from the office. Many employers are amenable to telecommuters - they just need to prove themselves first! |
