A lot of Filipinos are now choosing to work at home, since it gives them a lot of benefits as compared to working in a traditional office environment.
There are many opportunities online that aspiring WAHM (Work-at-home) Pinoys can do. The good thing about this is you get be your own boss and you can choose the job you prefer. I have worked in the call center industry for 6 years and since 2008, I have never left home to work. :)
Today, I am giving you a list of the benefits that I get from being a work-at-home mom.
1. Choose the job you love.
You can write articles, transcribe audios, sell clothes & accessories or be a Customer Service Rep or a Technical Support Specialist. These are just a few of the thousands of online opportunities that are available for you.
2. Set your work hours
Not a morning person? No worries, apply to jobs that allows you to have flexi hours. You may also do buy-and-sell type of business online and work on hours you prefer.
3. More time for your family
This is the best benefit for me. I worked in the graveyard shift for 3 straight years during my call center career. It has been really difficult for me having to leave my daughter (she was just a few months old then) at night to go to work. :(
Now, we get to bond and be together most of the day and this has been a very great blessing for me to spend hours and hours with her.
4. Set how much you’ll earn $$$$
Working online allowed me to have the financial freedom that I have long been dreaming about. I earn enough working in a normal office, but the allowance for my personal expenses (cab fares, coffee, meals) is now spent to pay bills, groceries or for my family's recreational activities.
5. No more commuting
Saves time and money.
6. Less stress
Of course, it's not that easy but working from home eliminates the stressful situations that happens in a traditional working environment. I must admit that I miss having office mates sitting beside me, but at the end of the day, working close to my family would still make me feel grateful of having this opportunity.
These are just some of the advantages of working at home. I believe that the home office environment that I have may not be suitable for everyone. However, for those who are interested in doing this, feel free to check the internet for opportunities that may be available for you.
