Share your agency's WFH best practices.

We're doing video meetings rather than conference calls, and using 5-10 minute calendar invites for quick chats (Skype for simple questions). What else helps?

Use headphones even in your alone at home to give the best audio with your microphone. Check your background before you share your video to make sure you’re not showing things you don’t want to. Plug in to a hardline Ethernet connection and don’t trust WiFi for online meetings. When using Teams/Slack for chat, @tag people instead of just posting and assume everyone knows who you’re asking.

For internal video conferencing without clients that I’m hosting, including pets is allowed.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

We are looking to hire a FTE for systems integration. We are using Mulesoft as an IPAAS. I’m part of the hiring team. The pay is 6 figures it is fully remote, the benefits are insanely good and it can be your second job if you are very good. If you are great, it’s probably 15-20 hours of work per weeks. If you are good enough, I will even cover for you to coordinate with your primary job. DM me if you are interested as I’m tired of the crappy recruiting company we are contracted with.
