Subject:REQUEST: Advice from Telecommuters From:Judy Fraser <jfraser -at- GLINX -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 5 Nov 1997 07:27:12 -0400
Hi,
I'm being interviewed by telephone tomorrow for a telecommuting job between Calgary and Nova Scotia. It seems that their only hesitation in hiring me so far is the distance thing (management, communication, etc). I have done telecommuting work myself and have some feedback and suggestions for them. However, I would appreciate any more "ammunition" on problems anyone might have encountered and how you solved them.
I receive the digest version of this list, so I would appreciate direct replies so I can begin preparing for the interview today.
Thanks a 1,000,000!
