To put it succinctly "Teleworking and Telecommuting" is a must-have guide to anyone considering either of these working paradigms. The author provides and extensive analysis of all the benefits and pitfalls of working from home. He covers the personal characteristics necessary for successfully working from home, home office furnishings, balancing problems with family life and work life when at home, strategies for getting the employer to accept the proposition of working from home, and many other things that are critical to your success but often overlooked when considering working from home. The book ends with four appendices that provide a teleworker aptitude test and three sample contracts. I've been involved in teleworking for some time where I spend some time at the office and some time elsewhere providing work product. This is the most comprehensive book on the subject that I have read and so is a highly recommended read for anyone who is thinking of changing their work style to a teleworking paradigm or who is thinking of taking a job where teleworking is required or an option.

Jeff has long been an expert in the home office and telecommuting field so its little surprise that this book is a 'must read' for anyone looking to locate and hire productive teleworkers. One of the questions we receive most often at SOHOjobs is 'what do I need to set up a telework or telecommuting program' and this book is the answer. It covers keeping mobile workers and remote teams connected to the office, security issues and resources for the virtual workplace. There are even sample telework agreements that are very handy. For the job seeker, this book offers a handy Telework Aptitude Test to see if you're a candidate for remote work.
