Be a Telecommuter in No Time

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of work at home jobs are not advertised. On the occasion that a job opening does post, hundreds to thousands of individuals apply to each position.

With millions of people now working from home, at least part time, you would think that finding a job would be quite simple. However, if you were to question the millions of workers who have earned an income from within the home for more than a year, you would find they all say the same thing. There are no shortcuts to finding a legitimate telecommuting position. Nonetheless, if you are patient, enterprising and tenacious, you are ready to telecommute.

Start with the job you have currently. Obviously, if your present position requires you to meet with customers or the general public on a daily basis, it is not feasible to telecommute. Otherwise, you may want to think of a clear plan for telecommuting with which you can approach your boss.

Be ready to calm any concerns or respond to any objections that may arise when you approach you supervisor with your plan. Create an outline that details how you will transfer and submit your work. In addition, lay out a plan for the purchasing of equipment and other necessary supplies you will need to telecommute, be sure to include plans for insuring such equipment as well. Specify how often you will be calling in or coming by the office. Most importantly, be sure to point out how much the company will save by having an employee working offsite.

Another telecommuting option is web design. Several men and women have made significant incomes through their home web design businesses. This option is ideal for those who have the ability, mainly due to the fact that the overhead cost is very low. Try contacting local small businesses that may be considering an expansion online, advertising and highlighting your unique abilities.

If you apply for a job with the feeling that it could someday be a telecommuting job, never say anything about working from home in the interview or even the first couple of months. First, you need to focus on getting in the door and proving your abilities before suggesting you take your position offsite.

Finally, get the word out that you are ready to telecommute. More often than you would think, work at home jobs are filled thanks to word of mouth. In addition, search the Internet for work at home ezines and subscribe to all of the ones without fees. Beware of any site asking you to pay a fee. When you find a posting that suits you and appears legitimate, send in your resume and you will be telecommuting in no time.
