phoenixfire53 0 #1 July 31, 2008 I need some advice. I'd like to find a job that will allow me to work from home at night as a contractor to supplement my daytime income. I was thinking something along the lines of AutoCAD drafting or simple data entry, although I'm open to other suggestions. I have a degree in electrical engineering and I can learn new software and technologies very quickly. Do you guys have any ideas on where I could find a job that doesn't require me to work in their office during the day? I'll give pretty much anything a shot, even if I have to go out and learn it on my own first. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glitch 0 #2 July 31, 2008 You have 3 hurdles to overcome: 1) Getting them to give you the opportunity... 2) Accuracy / effeciency to what they want... 3) the hardware and software to support their needs... I'd find some local engineering firms, architectural firms, power companies, etc... and speak with them about picking up their EC work for either doing, or checking it. It's typically boring and droll, but it still has to be done and it allows their staff to do actually do the design stuff. Get your foot in the door and show them you deliver on their needs and your gold. This being said... effectively communicating with the company while working at home will be a PIA. There's a million little details that will have to be worked and you will need to really organized to effectively communicate with the company on their schedule. Good luck....
