I’ve been working from home for a little over 7 years now. Amazing how time flies on you. One of the advantages of working from behind your computer is that often times your clients are states away from you. How is that an advantage? It means you don’t have that awkward first meeting to deal with before you get the job. You know the one I mean, the one where you wonder if your shirt is too tight, if your pants make your look as bloated as you feel, did your acne treatment do a good job, do you have lipstick on your teeth, why can’t you stop fidgeting your foot under the table …. yeah that meeting. I know not all first meetings go that way, sometimes first meetings really knock it out of the park. But when your first meeting is online you get a chance to showcase your skill set for that job, and you can put more thought into what you are writing as you write it. I think it gives a real chance to work on your portfolio and get things out there that you’re proud to have worked on. And you can do it in sweatpants and a t-shirt if you want and no one will ever know
