Today, the high cost of gas impacts everyone who must drive to work daily. Employers also feel the pinch, in terms of energy requirements. The working from home concept is again gaining traction, with companies of every size taking another look at how they might implement a work at home plan.
If your current onsite job might be a good fit for this idea, and you've got a reputation for productivity, consider approaching your boss with a working from home proposal.
If you're in the job market, try looking for telecommute work from home positions on the net. There are a lot of legitimate businesses out there looking for contract workers, as well as freelancers.
If the boss you have now agrees to let you telecommute even partially, your part of the deal is easily upheld just by continuing to turn work in on time and go into the office on office days.
If you want to find telecommute positions on your own, you have a different kettle of fish. As an independent worker, you'll find there are plenty of scams, and you must learn to discern from legitimate working from home jobs and companies which are simply trying to make money by charging membership fees just to have access to their listings. Most of these sites have listings for which you must submit a bid. Frequently, the employer is only willing to pay a below-market rate for the work. So you're typically better off to exhaust listings on sites with work from home opportunities you don't pay a fee to see.
Some free listing sites are used by scammers, who may never pay you for your work. You can guard against this in a couple of ways. When you get a response to a query, do a search on 'scams company-name'. If that comes up clean, this working from home job is worth pursuing. If not, drop it there.
When you are working on jobs that last a short time, perhaps 1 or 2 weeks, you should ask for some money upfront and maybe have periodic payment throughout the job. A good example of this is a freelance graphic design artist. Your client wants a new page layout and a new logo for their website. A suggested payment layout is: 1/3 to start, 1/3 when the employer accepts the project sample, and the balance on delivery of final project. This is a very common arrangement, which helps guard you, as your client shows a commitment for you doing the work and also paying you.
Especially in the case of short term jobs, you also need to regularly look for other work to schedule when this job ends. Try to keep two or three projects lined up, to assure a steady income.
This working from home has the ability to be very rewarding, you can schedule your hours around your family functions and it winds up saving you some cash! - 16069
