Most "aspiring telecommuters" do not begin this way, primarily because they are often led to believe that their skills will be the only necessity for telecommuting. As was previously indicated, there is much more to telecommuting than skills.

What am I talking about? Motivation, Communication, Standard of Excellence, Perserverance, Tolerance, Attitude, Focus and Goals are a few attributes that are vitally important in Telecommuting success.

The successful Telecommuter has learned this valuable lesson, some by trial and error and some by following the evaluation process before they begin a Telecommuting opportunity.

A Telecommuter must be very knowledgeable about the Internet and E-Mail because most jobs are done remotely and the Internet has become a conduit for Telecommuting assignments. Most importantly, you will find that there are a lot of Telecommuting Jobs on the Internet and you must know how to search for these jobs in a time- consuming manner. The Internet is a place where you do not want to be led from hyperlink to hyperlink. This is a time waster. If you do not know how to search, you can be taken to a dead end.

If your job is researching,you must make sure you know as much as you can about Search Engines. If you are a Medical Transcriptionists, you must make sure that you have the proper equipment and always keep abreast of any new developments and software. If you are a word-processor, which is the fancy word for a typist with a computer,you must at least be able to type 45 - 80 WPM. You must have adequate software knowledge and an aptitude to learn new software programs. There are a lot of freeware and shareware sites on the Internet that can be helpful to all Telecommuters. To find these, you can go to the search engines and type the keywords: "download," "shareware," and "freeware."

This is also one of the ways to find Telecommuting Jobs. Go to the search engines and type the keywords: "telecommute,"work from home," "home employment," and "telework." Be careful when the search results for the keyword, "work from home" and "home employment", comes up. There are a lot of work from home and home employment scams out there and there are so many people who are taken advantage of by work from home scams. Anyone who ask you for money up front, BEWARE!!

Telecommute is the best keyword to use, but that does not mean that a few scams will not pop up. Whatever you do, be careful.
