Telecommute Job. Is There Any Such Thing?

I would love to know if there is any such thing called telelcommute job because I have been hearing people talking about it. If anybody knows anything about it can say somethings about it so we IT Professionals canget it into our heads.

I am on my MCSD.NET Certification and I hope i would be working as a telecommuter.

In my own experience, I telecommuted/worked from home/e-worked 2-3days a week, and went in on the days I had to see clients or had metings.

Sometimes you do have to negotiate for it with your employer, or "sell" it to them-they can cut down on overheads, have access to skilled staff from distant locations, more productive staff-fewer distractions, less travel, less stress.

I have 2 friends who do it and it works out well.One of them works for an American company and its weird because she has to work during their working hours(being in different timezones).

The main thing is the supporting technology - broadband, telephones, video conferencing, etc.

Telecommuting means working from home and allows for a flexible working arrangement especially as regards to the hours you prefer to work. I work at home 2 to 3 days a week (thats why i'm on NL a lot ). I probably do more work at home as there's less distraction, no phones ringing, no meetings etc.

It is not an IT term as it applies to any job that provides the flexibility of working from home
