Remember, “remote” is a relative term.
Remote Working – ResumeBear Blog Post
I found this fascinating quote today from a post highlighting a survey done by Microsoft:
A growing interest in remote working has been spurred in part by rising energy costs, environmental concerns and the recent economic crisis. Remote working is widely understood to provide companies with access to a larger talent pool, improve productivity, and lower overhead for items such as workstation space, common office space, insurance, utilities, maintenance and parking. However, today’s survey results suggest business leaders need to do more to encourage adoption to realize these benefits.ResumeBear Blog, Mar 2009

Remote and Telecommute Jobs – Necessity!
Telecommuting: Once a Perk, Now a Necessity – BusinessWeek
This is an interesting BW article on remote and telecommuting jobs. While classic print/on-line style writing writing (flashy headline, thin research, questionable conclusion) I personally think BW is on spot. Go ahead and use “remote OR telecommute” as a search string on Indeed and you’ll see what I’m referring to.
