Remote/Telecommute Job Resource

Let’s face it. It’s hard enough to find regular work these days, let alone remote or telecommute opportunities. There are web developers and other technology professionals all over the states who can’t just pick up and move to the nearest large city for a job. I, myself live in Rexburg, ID, a very small community with a strong distrust of expansion and a disappointingly ambiguous craigslist presence. While I love this little town for a myriad of reasons, it is not exactly a hot spot for tech professionals. Therefore, I find my work/clients elsewhere. How? With a great little service called Virtual Vocations.

Virtual Vocations is a fantastic resource for telecommute jobs (full and partial) as well as project listings for freelancers who work remotely. They pull in job listings from sources all over the web and list them by categories for easy browsing and searching. Registration is quick and affordable (around $6 per week) and they send email alerts with new positions every day. Services like this take much of the leg work out of job seeking and cut your travel costs substantially. I would recommend this service to anyone. And so I have ;)


Moonlighting Tips…

I just read a great post on Tips for Incubating your Small Business Idea While Still Working Full-Time by Anita Campell. The section that caught me most was about setting aside a dedicated schedule for your startup. Time is never really on my side and I find it hard to stay focused on my personal projects while already spending hours on my day job. Anita’s post is full of good info. Props!


Origin3 FTL

I don’t know how many of you guys have heard but the company I’ve been working for, Origin3 LLC, finally tanked. The unfortunate truth is that it was just bound to happen. After countless investment fallthroughs, broken trust, faltering morale and multiple late pay periods, it’s a wonder it didn’t happen sooner. Those who were willing to stick it out, showed up for work on the final pay period and, when there were no checks, took a picture and walked out.

Here’s a link to the (badly biased) article in the Salt Lake Tribune. It’s a shame that a company founded on principles of honesty and good character had to end up in such a light as that. But you pick up and move forward. I for one am greatful to have just been a part of the ideas and processes that the company rolled out. We had big plans that would have taken off, had the investment opportunities panned out. A real shame.

But that’s life! I picked up a long term contract with recoverydatabase.net (RDN) and as you can see, I’ve got my work cut out for me ;)
