Jobs: How
To Telecommute Successfully

Telecommuting is becoming more and more popular these days, and telecommuting
jobs are sought after employment for their flexibility. Why? Because our
technology enables us to do almost anything from a home office. Virtual meetings
can be held via the Internet with a web camera and finished work can be sent by
e-mail. We waste a lot of time and energy just getting to and from work. How
many hours have you wasted in grid locked traffic or waiting for a late bus,
car-pooler or train? Telecommuters are generally more productive, provided you
don't let distractions get in your way! So how do you get the boss to let you
telecommute?
Before you barge into his office and shout "I want to telecommute!" have a well
thought out game plan. Here are a few suggestions to persuade the unconvinced
employer: Come up with a persuasive and convincing letter why you should
telecommute. If you need help in writing one
Telework has many facts and
stats for you to look over. As a mother the issue of childcare may arise, your
boss wants to be sure you won't be distracted continually throughout your
workday. Convince your employer that alternative childcare is arranged. Don't
get into lengthy details. Just reassure your boss that you won't be distracted.
Offer a proposal he/she can't refuse. Ask to telecommute once a week on a trial
basis for thirty days. Prove your abilities by showing that you can do just as
well from home as you can from the office. It is rare that you will be able to
work your entire workweek from home. Be prepared for this and offer to
telecommute 2-3 days if possible. If your employer sees the advantages and you
work well he/she might just allow it on a full time basis!
Telecommuting is a viable and wonderful opportunity for women. More time is
spent with your family instead of sitting on the freeway in traffic.
Telecommuting jobs are not for everyone; some women thrive on the interaction they get
from the office. Remember you will be somewhat isolated when working this way.
Temptation will also rear its ugly head! I had to force myself not to turn on
Oprah everyday and miss out on a good hour of hard work, my lunch breaks
stretched into cleaning the house and paying the bills. Kids are also another
very real distraction. Be sure to arrange childcare or work in the evenings when
dad can watch them. So why do I telecommute? For the obvious I suppose. More
time with my children and spouse. I am also less tired, much happier and I enjoy
the work I do. But most of all telecommuting gives me a little more freedom to
be a better wife and mother. Something that is more valuable then gold!
