Read moreI came across an opportunity to work at home. It was featured in an newspaper article that talked about it as “employment.” Eager to look at it and tell the readers of this blog about this “new opportunity” for employment, I went to the website to check it out — and realized a good lesson that is very important to the telecommuting job hunter.
The difference between employment and… >>Continue reading Be Careful, Is It Really Employment?
Read moreIt’s the recipe for success. When I answered any telecommuting job opening having an office set up and ready for work was a big plus where potential employers were concerned. The less the employer has to do to get you up and running – the better candidate that makes you.

Cathy’s blog is brutallly honest and probably keeps her jogging more than she would if she didn’t have a blog to fill. Reading it makes you want to pull for her and it makes me wonder if the lady who walks the dog down my street twice a day goes home… >>Continue reading Jogger Blobs and Blogger Jobs
Read moreYou wouldn’t think that the IRS was interested in saving money, but that’s exactly what they did this past year through changes they made in their telework program.
Did you know that there are about 28,000 employees participating in their “flexiplace” program who use approximately 136 sites? I had no idea!
