Recruiter Tips: College Grads and the Virtual Workplace
Making the initial jump from college into the working world can feel overwhelming. Leaving the safe haven of a classroom and being thrust into the harsh reality of a first job might feel like more than you might want to deal with; especially if you have the option of working from home. This month's video podcast addresses the difficult question of: Should recent college graduates opt to telecommute instead of working in a conventional office?
What is telecommuting? As broadband technology becomes universal, more people have the bandwidth to link their home office to their corporate offices. Telecommuting is the replacement of a daily commute to a central workplace by telecommunication links.
Telecommuting can be especially beneficial for maintaining work/life balance for working parents. However, for recent college graduates, who lack the inter-office experience, telecommuting can pose serious drawbacks over the long term.
Check out the rest of my series of Recruiter Tips in the coming weeks. I hope that you find them useful and good luck!
