Take This Job and Move it – Home

The idea of finding work at home opportunities seems rather far-fetched. Someone looking for work at home opportunities typically doesn’t know how to start looking for that type of home office work, nor do they even take the time to reflect on whether they’re suited for working at home.

Surprisingly though, work at home opportunities might just be one of the easiest work opportunities to find, if you’re already employed. Why? Because working at home opportunities are often available for the current employer of the person looking for that work at home opportunities.

That’s right. The job a person has right now – that job for which he or she rises at 6am, for which she or he dresses in suit or career attire only to sit in stalled rush hour traffic for a couple hours a day and then in a little cage with the other workers for another eight hours, just might be one of the work at home opportunities.

Most jobs can be done at least part time from home – or any location where the means of communication and the necessary information is available. The general rule of thumb for determining if a job can be done at home is to think about whether one could close the door and have contact with no one else for a few hours and still complete job tasks successfully. If the answer is yes that job is one of the many part or full time work at home opportunities.

Work at home opportunities isn’t nearly as dependent on the right job tasks as they are dependent on the right workers. Not everyone is the right temperament for working at home. A smart supervisor allows someone who requests a work at home opportunity to complete a self-assessment first. This self-assessment may let that worker know that she or he is better off working in the office with others.

If the self assessment is completed with that employee still requesting consideration for work at home opportunities, then an assessment of the worker by the supervisor must be completed. Issues for consideration are job knowledge, self-motivation, autonomy, enough technical knowledge to troubleshoot basic computer problems, trustworthiness, a safe and secure home environment and a quiet home office that will allow for work flow and conversations that will be seamless to clients.
