Question I am in need of finding out how to work from home. It is becoming difficult for me to continue to work in an office due to our daughter being sick all the time. She has some medical problems and I am missing more work than we can afford. I would like to find something to enable me to stay home so I can care for our daughter. Thank you for your time. Mrs. Deana Tatusko
Answer Hi Deana,
The good news is the telecommuting continues to grow and there are hundreds if not thousands of work-at-home jobs available right now. However, you cannot just sign up to work at home. Work-at-home jobs are like any other jobs; you need the skills and experience the employer is looking for. Therefore, you need to approach your work-at-home job search the same way you do a regular job search. You need to know what you have to offer an employer in terms of skills and experience. You must have a professional resume. And you must be diligent.
