A New Type of Professional Clerical Jobs is Emerging

During these trying times of our economy, including major layoffs throughout our nation has literally "inflamed" our job seeking. With major corporations laying off thousands after thousands of workers, we have had to broaden our skills and talents more than ever. Just think, I believe we are going back to our "Wild, Wild, West" days, where we had to make a self-sufficient living in order to survive our changes within our society. Therefore telecommute and work at home positions have become not only an attractive position, but its becoming a necessary position. We constantly advertise our personal self within social book markings, forums and community that we kind of overlooked the fact that this is really our portfolio foreshadowing our resumes. Employers are now including going on to our my space, face book pages as such when doing reference checks. So Go figure - better be careful of what you got our there.... With this new trend developing, a new trend or parade of workers have evolved throughout the years. This leads me to my story, "A New Type Of Professional Clerical Jobs Are Emerging."

No longer is the term "clerical" made only for secretaries, and administration... It goes on further than that. They are reconstructing themselves into independent contractors and sole business owners. The skill that an average clerical worker obtains is a foundation basis for his or her own self-made business, especially during these trying times in our economy. As a Mass Communications Major, I am in amazement as we grow in an era of technology and worldwide communications; employment has become a lot more diverse. Many of us along with internationals are seeking to work from the comforts of their own home. I remember when it was totally unheard of being able to work from home unless it was a truly prominent position. We are under a constrict timeline within our culture. I guess that's why time management is so important to us. Therefore we do the daily routine of getting up every morning to a set time, do the old personal touch up grooming and off we go to work. Those of us who settle every morning in the same cubicle, the same coffee and the same startup routine just go along with the flow and dream of becoming that independent person free of all chains of management and adherence. However we think just because we do the same customer service routine day in and day out, doesn't mean that we can't get an enjoyment out of our job. If this is what we do best... then search for something that best suits your needs and requirements. We have to work in our society in order to follow the rules of our land, to get products and services so there is no way around making money in order to survive. Just do it in a manner that you can enjoy and perhaps if it goes well enough...maybe you could just retire from it. So after all that, what I am trying to say?

What I am saying is that with the talent and skills that we have attained and learned can be made useful to help those of us who are willing to advance to a more independent career path by ways of utilizing the latest technology. Hmm, so lets see, my skills are in clerical: filing, typing, customer service, data entry, accounts payable/receivable, oh and not to mention making coffee. I believe just about every clerical worker has these basic skills. Well let's start to use these skills to start your own thing. Take those skills and market yourself to companies or just start working for yourself. If you're like me, I started off working for other companies before I decided to do my own home-based business. This is a great stepping-stone if you are looking to build a business of your own. For others they may just want to work for a company, get paid while doing this within the comforts of their own home. So having clerical skills is really the "bomb"! That is actually a gold mine. Just because the statute pay of a clerical job is low and painful, doesn't mean you have to settle for that. There are hundreds of companies out there who are willing to pay top dollar to those who are qualified. It is a more cost efficient method to hire clerical telecommuters, work from home associates then to house an office. Even the California State Personnel guidelines states that any state department that can substantiate and justify telecommuting are more than provided favor. In other words, the state can save more money to keep you at home than to have you come to work every Monday through Friday 9am -5pm or earlier. That's right, the Governor of California even stated that...so don't give up your hope about working from home or telecommuting.

Now that you have a better understanding... the next thing is where to do the job research? Be careful with the research of working from home, data entry and etc. There is tons of information out there for you to see. Some will require a small membership fee and some will not cost anything. You can't distinguish whether or not if they are a good company if you have to pay a fee or not. It doesn't matter. Remember, if you are planning on becoming your own clerical boss, there will be some out of pocket costs from you. However be extremely smart about that. You just have to do your research, research, research. You will get caught up on some of the catchy pitch pages that they have to offer, so be vary wary about that as well.
