Telecommuting

Do not....I repeat...do not give up on your telecommuting dreams. I'm living
proof jobs exist!
Over the years when looking for telecommuting work - I've used absolutely any
tool I could get my paws on. Books, websites, reports, newspapers, magazines,
ezines --- you name it.
You need to do the same thing, even if it means schleping down to the library
once a week, grabbing some books and taking notes!
There are fabulous books out there covering telecommuting. Below I list a few
that I found helpful and insightful.
Teleworking and Telecommuting (Made EZ)
More than 30 million American workers work beyond the four walls of the
traditional office. They're teleworkers, and they're changing the nature of work
- for themselves, their co-workers, their managers and their families. Using the
best practices, and the insights of others, Teleworking/Telecommuting reveals
how to create effective, alternative office programs that deliver efficient,
productive, and satisfied workers. Teleworking/Telecommuting represents the
latest thinking in remote and virtual office strategies. (Amazon Book
