Work From Home Resources - Women For Hire

Make It Happen

In 2009, Women For Hire proudly celebrates 10 years of connecting leading employers with diverse, talented women across the country. We will mark this prestigious achievement with a commemorative 2009 expanded and enhanced edition of Women For Hire magazine. The theme: honoring diversity.

Founded in 1999 as the first and only company devoted to a comprehensive array of recruitment services for women, Women For Hire offers signature career expos, inspiring speeches and seminars, a popular career-focused magazine and customized marketing programs. Our website, womenforhire.com, offers a wide variety of career-related information and videos geared to working women, and an online job board that helps leading employers connect with top-notch professional women in all fields. In 2008, we produced our first work from home video, which has been viewed by thousands of women interested in this growing field.

Our core business is producing the nation’s only high caliber career expos, enabling America's top employers to meet one-on-one with a coveted pool of talented women in all disciplines. These events pair recruiters from a mix of Fortune 500 companies, medium-sized businesses, non-profit organizations and government agencies with women in a wide range of disciplines.

Since our inception, we have been recognized as groundbreakers in connecting employers with the brightest group of diverse career women, as well as providing those women with exceptional advice on advancement. We specialize in developing customized programs to meet the diversity recruitment goals of employers in every industry.

 

Top 5 Tips & More

1. If you regularly carry your laptop back and forth from the office, get hold of a spare battery pack and keep it at home so you don't have to remember it every time you plan to WFH.

2. Make sure you have a few ways for people to contact you--such as a mobile, a landline, email and instant messaging--so if one connectivity mode goes down for a while, your colleagues will still have a way to reach you--and you them.

3. Understand how to structure your working day for the greatest benefit to you and your company--whether that means doing a few hours early doors, taking the kids to school and walking the dog, or logging on late at night to free up time during the day. If you are able to bring a necessary--or less stressful--degree of flexibility to your working day then you should be more dedicated to your work and feel more energized. Your employer should see that as a definite benefit.

4. Tapping away on a laptop is fine on a plane but when working from home make sure you have a full size keyboard and a mouse--and a monitor if possible, as well as a comfortable work space--your wrists/neck/eyes/back will thank you in the end.

5. Make sure friends, family and partners understand what working from home is about and that they appreciate it's not an 'available for chores and errands day'.
