If you need to earn some additional income but have difficulties and ties that mean you can't commit to regularly leaving the house and working in a typical office environment, you should consider working at home.
Homeworking has sometimes been considered repetitive and boring but if you're looking for an interesting and absorbing job there are some definite possibilities to be considered.
One example could be working in business resources.
What makes a business tick? Well, there are as many answers to this as there are different kinds of businesses but one thing's for sure - every business needs to be resourced adequately.
It is this variety of needs which makes for an interesting job in business resourcing.
Getting to know the requirements of the different business customers and building up productive relationships with them is paramount to success.
It's also a fast-changing sector and in such challenging financial times, businesses need to be extremely competitive.
Being properly resourced and kept up-to-date with the latest trends and products can give them the edge.
For the homeworker helping a business to achieve this can be very satisfying.
So don't feel that working at home condemns you to the mindless and mundane.
Many jobs are enhanced by the skills you personally bring and what you actually make of them.
This is just as true of home-based work as it is being part of an office team.
In fact, in many cases you may find that you have much more control over what you do and how you do it.
