Finally, I’ve got to a moment in my life when I’ve come to the conclusion that I really can’t handle the office thing any longer as far as work is concerned. The idea of seeing the same old faces and hearing the same old gossipdull chatter every day now fills me with dread.
Since I left school, I’ve been employed by eight different companies including a whole variety of industries ranging from multi-national financial institutions to small, privately owned and run organisations selling goods to a particular niche market. The majority of my jobs have been predominantly customer service or client liaison focused, and the thing that they all have in common is that they’ve all needed me to commute to the office, spend the day there in the company of my colleagues, and then travel back home again.
It is true to say that a few of my workmates have been great fun to work with and some have continued to be good friends a long time after we’ve progressed to diverse career paths. But human nature means that we can’t all enjoy the company of everyone all of the time. Some of my more recent work options in offices have left me wondering if I am the problem rather than my colleagues, but then I’ve told myself that it honestly isn’t normal to only have two subjects for discussion in your repertoire – yesterday evening’s television and celebrity chit chit. Well, pardon me if my knowledge and hobbies stretch substantially further than that. And I don’t have any desire to talk about about soap operas and supermodels.
So, wanting to find new employment options, I spent weeks scouring the internet seeking something that appealed to me. I am at a bit of a disadvantage when seeking out jobs as my experience and hands on knowledge of many areas of business is way greater than my academic qualifications, so jobs I could easily do sadly won’t even consider me because I don’t tick the right qualification boxes. However, jobs I am ‘qualified’ to do will bore me senseless very rapidly – that’s if they don’t criticise me for being ‘too experienced’! So I have to concentrate on job advertisements from employers who are more impressed by what I can do now rather than whether I learnt the complete works of Shakespeare and periodic tables thirty years ago.
Then it dawned on me! I’m utilising the internet to find a job. I have very competent IT knowledge. Surely there must be Online Jobs I could do? And if they’re all computer based jobs, surely they are the kind of job where I could do all the Work From Home? So I could potentially find a job that uses some of my strengths and allows me to work indoors, thus avoiding all that office stuff that I now find so tedious.
After some research, it appears there are plenty of online jobs looking for people to do them, and many are increasingly becoming Careers in Demand because of the opportunities they give people to complete the work at a time which fits in with their other commitments and to work in their own house.
Some of these Online Jobs are mundane and badly paid, but a multitude of them promise good pay and conditions, and very importantly for me, job satisfaction. And – apart from those jobs which are specialist roles – an increasing number of such employers are really only interested in your skills with computer applications and software.
So, after a lot of time spent searching, I took a chance and made contact with a company regarding their job advertisement. At a interview to talk about the requirements for the job, it was really good not to have to trawl through my CV explaining things that had little relevance to the job I wanted to do. And I liked what I heard about the job – occasional meetings with local clients, but largely speaking I’d be able to get on with doing all my Work From Home, working whatever hours suit me as long as the work gets done. So I signed up, and I can very much understand why Online Jobs working from home are near the top of the list of Careers in Demand.
