"With technology as good as it is," Mr. Diana says, "there aren't many jobs that can't be done remotely."
Amid the numerous files I juggle on my desk, one has been growing steadily for years. It now contains a 3˝-inch stack of missives from readers, all asking the same question: How can I get a good job working from home? After years with few answers, I have news at last:
A growing number of employers, from UnitedHealth Group and Safeco to Capgemini, IBM, American Express and Sun Microsystems, are hiring skilled new employees to telecommute right from the start. These aren't the piecework, independent-contractor gigs or commission-only sales jobs that have characterized at-home "employment" in the past. They are full-time corporate jobs with benefits, available without the prerequisite of working for the company for a few years first.
