Homeworkers

[Ulysees]

Who is a homeworker and what do you do?

I'm thinking of giving homeworking a try as it'll be easy to fit it in around school. Just wondering what works?

I'm an usborne team leader and it works for me it is all commision based but it's also all totally in my control. Work as much and whenever i want.

Employed jobs working from home seem few and far between.

I work for my old company doing pharmaceutical/medical research. It's quite specific so it's not something you could just pick up unfortunately.

It works for me, but it's tough going. I'm working now because it's half term and I've got no daytime hours to work in at the moment.

In fact, now not a great time to ask since I'm coming down with something too and feel bloody awful. I want to curl up on the sofa with a hot chocolate but I've got to keep going

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't sure what to go for really? I'm a qualified hairdresser but haven't done much for a while. I should go and do a refresher course really and get back to it as that would be the sensible thing to do.
Glad it's working out for you two and hope you get well soon GG xx

I would recommend that you use the hairdressing as it is a skill you already have.

yes you're right nearlyfourbob, I'll have to brush up on my skills.

I am also an Usborne Organiser

Worksa round the children and I can do as little or as much as I want

I have an advert in the jobs section with more info if you wish to take a look

I became a music teacher again after several years in office jobs. I've never been happier and a large part of that is a large hourly rate (compared to the other part time jobs I would get) combined with making my own schedule. Running my own business makes me feel more, I don't know "proper" than if I worked a mere 12 hours for an employer.

I started my own business a year ago, that I run from home.
It's v hard work, I've put a lot of hours in for (at the mo!) zilcho financial gain.
Running your own business isn't an easy option, however I am thrilled that I took the plunge, I love running a small business, and working from home means I don't have to pay for childcare.
I can recommend looking at mumandworking website or even the home working forum of netmums if you can bear to visit another forum

well done you nearlyfourbob It's great to hear success stories like that. I'm not ambitious but love to hear of those who are.

thanks betty

I do Chocolate Parties and ateend events etc with the chocolate products I sell. This works well for me as I work as much or as little as i want to, there are no targets so it really is up to me what I do.

I started working from home last year and I love it! I found a great job on a top website www.workingmums.co.uk there might be something there for you!
