I have been in corporate world for 13 years and just recently decided to left my job because the location of the place was too far from my home and I'm getting sick due to stress because of traffic situation here in Manila. I plan to find a homebased job but unfortunately until now i haven't got one. My husband is into buy and sell but the income is stable and I have two kids to send in school apart from the daily expenses.What I have learned from this past 4 months is budgeting on how to manage the money that you have and also be simple and content in your current situation. Hopefully I could find a perfect job while I'm looking after for my family.

What is your area of expertise? How have you added value to the companies you have worked at before?

Hi Coach Sandra, I'm an accounting specialist handles Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Credit and Collection, Bank Reconciliation and assisting during month end closing. I'm a very flexible and always gives my best whatever tasks has been assigned to. I'm always ahead of time for any reports that needs to be submitted.

I've been doing the same research. If you are interested and I can send you a few resourceful links, basically 6+ months of researching the "remote" life. Jobs, pay, remote companies, resume/cover letter tweaking, skills needed, etc. A huge remote resource compilation. Always looking to help the fellow remote-ers!!

Similar to the poster... Id like to find remote work . When i was hired for current role, manager agreed to remote work twice a week. Got this in writing before accepting role. She left 2 months in and now new manager, who is new to company is stickler about coming Into office and documenting when we have to work elsewhere on a team calendar. Now it keeps coming up in my weekly 1-on-1 and i feel like im being pushed out just because of my remote arrangement. Most of team is spread across country (only 3 of 25 work in same city as my boss) . Many of us are the only ones in our city on the team but there is local office that we can work out of if we need to be in the office. Almost regret being honest with my Boss.
