Telecommuting

Not every work-from-home option involves starting your own business.  Not everyone wants or needs to deal with all aspects of the business.  Some people just want to:

  • Have a chance to stay home because of daycare complications or health complications
  • Avoid travel costs
  • Avoid the day to day office politics

For people whose temperament does not include handling handling every aspect of a business, direct selling, or coming up with a business idea, finding a telecommuting job may be key.  However, there are trade-offs, such as:

  • Sometimes the wages on these jobs are really really low
  • Because you're at home and some people assume that you're only at home because you want to goof off, the rules and regulations are about 9 times as strict
  • Many of them are sales or customer service oriented, so if you don't like sales or customer service oriented jobs you may be screwed
  • They have extremely high competition, even more competition then you'd find for a traditional job, and sometimes landing one can be very difficult

One place you can start looking is http://www.ratracerebellion.com/.   They've tried to screen these opportunities as much as possible so that the scams don't show up on their listings.  You'll recognize the names of many of these companies, such as UHaul or 1-800-Flowers.  Working with an established company like this can be very reassuring when it comes time to be certain that you're dealing with a real job.  You might also be able to locate jobs that will provide benefits this way. If you already have a job you might investigate telecommunication options from the job you already have.  There are some great ideas for how to accomplish this at http://www.quintcareers.com/telecommuting_options.html. At heart, home business is about tailor making or finding an opportunity that is just for you--that works best with your life, goals, and dreams.   A lot of the home business literature certainly urges you to avoid working for traditional companies--but if everyone were at home doing things on the internet some pretty vital products would never hit the marketplace!  You need to find the opportunity that suits you best.  If one of these will then make sure your application and your credentials are as polished as possible and then go for it!
