 COMPANIES THAT HIRE HOME WORKERS
Work at Home Companies
Freelance and More
By Kelly Land © 1999-2009, All rights reserved.
I
do my best to stay on top of companies hiring home workers.
There has been a huge surge in those looking for call center jobs, catalog order
taker, and customer service type at home jobs. Be sure to get your application
in with all companies - don't just hope for a job at the one company you're
really gunning for.
Typically these companies have certain criteria. Read over any
qualifications before applying. If you don't have the necessary skills or
equipment - it's doubtful you'll be given a second look. Try to stay current on
any training. That always looks good on a resume and when interviewing. There
are many online schools and programs. Many are accredited - so they are just
like on-site attended classes as far as how they are gauged. Penn Foster is a
fabulous career training center with many online classes. They offer a totally
free career catalog.
Telecommuting and hiring
virtual workers is becoming more and
more popular. It saves the employer money. At first the general consensus was
that if you let an employee "work at home", they won't get anything done. This
has been proven to be a huge falsehood. Allowing employees to work at home has
actually proven to be a more productive way to work. You cut out all the stress
of the commute - which includes in climate weather, traffic jams and other
delays. It also saves mileage on the employees car!
And think of how much more time the employee can spend actually "working" when
they aren't bogged down with office gossip, having to get ready for work,
driving to work, pointless meetings and other office distractions.
Now granted....if there are kids at home....it can be hard to work at home. But
many folks have kids in school all day or the child is so small....they sleep a
large portion of the day. Some kids are in pre-school too. So it doesn't mean
that having kids means absolutely no working at home. It just means that you
have to be realistic about working at home if you have kids. Employers don't
want you dealing with clients or being constantly taken off task by screaming,
whining kids. It is VERY hard.....and I know this from experience - to get it
through your family's head - especially small kids (even my 8 year old has
trouble with this) that MOM works at home. Mom is AT work - please do not
disturb. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of writing an article like this and my
HUSBAND will pop in my office and start yakking. It's like he thinks I'm typing
an email to my sister or something.?! Hello - I'm WORKIN' IN HERE!
And while we're on the topic of family bugging you while you're trying to
work....understand that working at home is not what you think. It's not easy,
breezy.....sipping coffee....watching Fox News in the morning...time to read the
paper....sleeping in....blah blah blah. For example....I get up in the morning,
fix the kids' lunches, throw in some laundry, fold some laundry....after the
kids leave I get on the treadmill for an hour. After that I have to shower. I
still have not had coffee, breakfast - let alone read the paper or watch the
news. After my shower I go threw gobs of emails, make some coffee, normally fix
some oatmeal.....
I start writing, researching, returning calls...I do my own bookkeeping, my own
SEO, my own site maintenance....before I know it - it's 2:00PM and it's time for
me to leave to pick up my 8 year old from school. She gets out of school at 2:30
and my older one gets out at 3:00....so I don't get back home til around 3:30PM
- I try to work a little bit - MAYBE and hour...til say 4:30 and then it's time
to get dinner started, eat, clean up everything. I don't make it back to my
computer til around 9:00PM and I work til sometimes 11:00PM...sometimes 1:00AM!
So it's not all...."Oh yes....Soooooooo flexible.....so wonderful. Half the
time....I forget to have lunch!
So keep this in mind. Work is....well, work. It's not a party, it's not
lounging around, it's not pretending, it's not talking on the phone with
friends, instant messaging, twittering, updating your facebook page - none of
those things.
I know....I'm a Joy-Kill. Sorry.
But - if and when you do start working at home...you'll be mentally ready now!
