Flexible Work Arrangements for IT/IT Audit Workers?
Q: I am looking for a part-time professional job and trying to get back a work/life balance. I have a MIS degree with over 10 yrs experience in IT and IT Audit. I can't seem to find the 'telecommute' or working from home jobs. Anyone have any tips or tricks?
- Comment posted by K.T.
A: Dear K.T.,
This requirement will limit your ability to find a job quickly, since these opportunities are less frequently available and it also depends on the local area in which you live as to the availability of these types of positions.
We see that most IT Analyst / Audit positions are primarily working in the office, while some may have the ability to telecommute for a portion of the time. You can source the local staffing agencies, employers, and even post your resume with that requirement, but be sure to be open to doing some work in the office.
Your job search may be much longer than necessary with that requirement, so it may be prudent for you to apply to part-time positions and discuss the potential possibility to move into a predominantly work from home / telecommuting role once the employer is comfortable with your work quality and capabilities.
Best of luck,
Seymour

No, this is generally not a problem. Each member fills out a class/work schedule at the beginning of each semester and then the labor czar(ina) fits everyone into the master labor schedule. Note, however, that you can only be excused from doing labor at a specific time if you can prove that you have class or work at that time (wanting to sleep in or wanting to study at a particular time are not considered legitimate reasons to not be able to do labor).
