9.It's 8:30,time for John to start work.So he turns on his radio.Then he eats breakfast.As he eats,he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list.Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write…Wait a minute!Radio?Breakfast?Sofa?What kind of workplace is this?Well,actually it is John's house,and he is a telecommuter-he works at home,communicating with the workplace through the Internet.
Like John,millions of people-and their employers-are finding that telecommuting is a great way to work.Telecommuters can work on their own schedule(預(yù)定表).They work in the comfort of homes,where they can also look after young children or elderly parents.They save time and money by not traveling to work.Their employers save,too,because they need less office space and furniture.Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often.This saves employers even more money.Telecommuting helps society,too,by reducing pollution and traffic problems.
Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing,design work,computer programming and accounting.If a job is related to working with information,a telecommuter can probably do it.
