Am I ready for a home-based work?


Things have been great for me for the past nine days of 2012!

Careerwise, I got interviewed by Remotestaff.ph and luckily, I passed the initial interview via Skype. But since its a home-based job, I was deeply contemplating if I was indeed, ready to work from home...

The interview went well. You just have to create an account in their website, fill in the personal details and upload sample work and a voice resume (for them to gauge your English speaking skills).


You know, aside from giving up an opportunity for promotion and having physical interaction with real human beings in the work setting aka having a social life, you will also have to battle the temptation of lying to bed, watching tv and updating facebook/twitter feeds. Remotestaff.ph is a great company that offers great pay, day-time job but for jobseekers, be sure you are ready to commit to them because:

1. as an employee, you will log-in into their system, allowing them to monitor the websites and tasks you are doing on your computer

2. they are not liable for any tax, SSS, HMO and Pag-ibig deduction.

The great thing about working at home is your transportation and meals expenses may go done drastically therefore it enables you to save your time and money.

I prayed hard to God to help me decide whether to pursue this or not and HE answered me immediately. On the same day, I was offered by my boss to move into another exciting project, to research for web content for the daily e-newsletter sent out to the international spa community.

So I placed on hold my application with Remotestaff.ph until I get the hang of my new project with my current employer. 

I have a number of friends working from home and it suits them well, but for me I think I still have a lot to offer to the corporate world!
