When people think of working from home, the usual things that come to mind are the posts associated with huge dollar signs and easy minimal tasks almost involving no effort at all. This, however, is not the reality of telecommuters. In fact, the only thing that changes when it comes to working from home is...well you’re home. Though the amount of responsibility, attendance, and performance all play a vital role in one’s success with any company on or off-site. So before applying to every company that allows you to telecommute, consider the following:
Background Noise
This is a major factor in employment. If you have little ones in the house and you are their primary caregiver during shift hours, you may want to re-think applying. A noise canceling headset is not enough as you will be constantly interrupted and guided by your child’s needs during work.
Equipment
Make sure that you have available everything the company requires before applying. This includes internet access (with certain companies requiring specific computer speed, memory, and software), unlimited long distance (no cell phones), and sometimes, a fax and printer. This is the basic home office set up.
Time
It is important to plan your time and family life around your work schedule. If you have to pick up kids from school around 3:30, don’t accept a position that calls for working 8-5pm. Make sure that your personal life is taken care of before you start your shift so that you have fewer interruptions.
Expectations
Do not assume that just because you made $12 per hour at your on-site job, a work home company has to offer you the same thing. Unless, you applying at an executive level, telemarketing and/or customer service jobs pay less than the same job title to a on-site position. If your job offered you medical, dental, and stock options, do not assume that will be the case in the virtual world. Remember, that your competition for a work home position is on a national level. Working your way up to become a reputable employee can gain you access to higher paying home jobs.
Finally, know that once you have all this taken care of, it still may take some time to land something concrete and legit. Stay diligent and consistent in your work home search. Good Luck.
