I’ve seen them, you probably have too. You work out of your
home, in PJs if you want to and you actually get paid to do so! There are so
many opportunities you can pick anything from a customer service associate to a
General Manager of a wide range of companies. I highly encourage you to
investigate these opportunities and see if you may fit any of the offerings.
The hours are sometimes full time or part time. You might replace your salary you
make in the office! Exciting stuff for the traditional 8 to 5er. No driving in
rush hour traffic, no dress code, no office gossip or personality conflicts!
You use far less fuel driving to and from work. Top all that off with grocery
delivery and less money spent eating away from home.
I work for me, I am my own boss, and I know the decreased
stress when you are working for you. I work in my “break room” kitchen.
Sometimes I work in my living room. I might be in my workshop or up in my
storage room (usually taking inventory). The stress is not eliminated but there’s
no getting called into the bosses office or scheduled lunches or breaks. You
decide what you will and won’t do. Often I call quitting time at 4pm, but it’s
not unusual for me to start working before dawn just because I feel like it!
That’s pretty much all the fluff for working out of your
home. I you research any of these “wonderful” work at home jobs you’ll find
there are many drawbacks. Just like any job at your standard “brick and mortar”
position you will be required to produce. You might have a specific schedule to
work in. You may be required to work into the morning hours, or a specific
number of hours. You may not have holidays off. Any number of conciliations for
the comfort of your own home work environment may have to be made.
If you have dogs or young children at home and you have to
talk to people on the phone you may not qualify for the position. If your
neighbors, friends or family do not understand that working from home is
actually working you may be asked to do them a favor like run to the post
office or pick up their kids from school, etc. “as long as you’re home”. Yes,
this has happened to me and many of my business associates as well.
Do your research and think it over. You just might find the
perfect position for you. If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out and move
on to your next opportunity. Good luck and I hope to hear from those of you who
found your future right there in your home! Don’t lose that ambition to say
goodbye to your boss!
