THE JOY OF WORKING FROM HOME
THE JOY OF WORKING FROM HOME
http://www.bukaboo.com/jobs/
If the term home working conjures up visions of filling envelopes for a paltry wage, think again. Almost any job could lend itself to being carried out in your home, even if it is just for a couple of days each week.
Many of the varied roles in the IT and Internet sectors, such as design, programming and development are ideal for home working, as they can be done remotely. The same goes for lots of jobs which use a computer. Other roles suited to home working include architecture, design, structural engineering, accountancy and auditing, consulting, journalism, typing - the list is extensive and varied.
For most, it means making use of technology so that your home is as well-equipped as your office. PCs, faxes and laptops all help to spend a few hours or days away from the office, while still putting in a full week's work.
Where can I find an employer offering flexible and home working options?
Some forward-thinking companies have realised that much of their work can be done remotely and advertise flexible working options to prospective recruits. Companies such as IBM and Accenture not only encourage home working, they also supply the equipment for it. But it is not just technology companies that make the most of flexible working. BMW, Shell, Royal Bank of Scotland, Nationwide Building Society and Marks & Spencer - and many more - also offer the option.
How to set up a home office
http://www.bukaboo.com/jobs/
You can set up your home office from scratch for well under £1,000. If you rely on email and use of the Internet you will need a PC with a modem. You may consider an ISDN line, which is a high-speed Internet line allowing faster access to the Internet. Other essential items are a fax machine, a
printer and a mobile phone. If your company is unwilling to foot the bill, don't write the concept of working from home off completely. Consider the balance - will a reduction in your commuting costs help to pay for the equipment?
PC - from £500 up to £2,000. The cost depends on how powerful a PC you need for your work
ISDN line (optional, depending on your line of work) - British Telecom can convert your phone line to ISDN for £99
Fax machine - from £100
Printer - less than £100 for a basic model

The drawbacks:
Working from home can be a very isolating experience for some people. Ask yourself if you are the type of person who thrives in a buzzy environment with lots of noise and chatter around you. If so, home working may not be for you.
Spending time away from the office will distance you from day-to-day activity, so it is vital to keep in touch. Think of all those snippets of information you pick up during a week at work, from useful gossip about your clients and rivals to tip-offs about potential jobs.
If possible, avoid a job where you spend all your time at home - try and get into your workplace for one or two days. It might be appropriate to arrange catch-up meetings with your boss or peers, just to make sure that you are kept in the loop. Also try to attend any major company events whether they are social or official. As well as keeping up to date, you'll remind everyone you're still part of the team.
