Working from home and what to expect

Working from home has some great perks, you get the freedom to work your own hours there’s no commute and you don’t have a boss looking over your shoulder. Working from home and working outside the home can be almost identical. What I mean is the opportunity that you get may be based on your experience or education. In other words you may not have experience in transcription therefore this will not be a good fit. Maybe your last job was a sales rep, there are many work from home opportunities that involve selling. Motor Club of America is always looking for work from home agents.

Where to begin

The best place to start is your current employer. Talk with your boss, tell him that working from home could benefit him as well as you. It won’t hurt to ask the worst he could say is no. If this is the case start putting together a resume that you can share with online employers.
Once you’ve got a great resume you can start searching for companies that offer work from home opportunities. Here is a great place to begin your search legitimate companies that hire homeworkers. There are other places you can look too. There’s Monster, Career Builders and Craig’s list to name a few.
