Working from home

Tele-worker jobs

Being a tele-worker, or someone who doesn't go into the office every day, but stays at home to work isn't as easy as it should be in this day and age. Have you experienced difficulty finding work from home?



It is proving difficult to find work from home. And if I want to work part time too that is even more difficult. I use a couple of job search web sites to hunt for work but its still proving difficult.

15-5-2007You might find it easier if you were to work in an office for a while first, and build up that trusted relationship.

24-1-2007It is nice to know that I am not the only one struggling. I am in the position that I have a 10 year old, for whom I want to be around when not at school.

12-12-2006I started a home based PR consultancy last year, because I wanted to work from home. I enjoyed being my own boss, but was getting stressed out over finding enough work to pay the bills and chasing late payments.

11-12-2006I wanted to work from home on a part-time basis, and the only way I could do this was to go self-employed. It was a big gamble, but thankfully, it seems to be working out.

29-11-2006As an employer I am interested in the concept but it is difficult to find those with the specific skills needed who might be interested and if you only need the odd one or two working from home then it can be expensive to find them.

29-12-2005Why not have a room that you do all the work in with one or more cams veiwing you doing your work, then sending your hours of work to your employer.
