Background and experience: I had previously been the head of a management consulting information center, but left primarily because they relocated the office.

What matters to me: I wanted to return to work but stay close to my children.

Why I joined: I had no idea what type of work I would find that allowed me to be home for my kids, but I submitted my resume and hoped for the best.

How ClickNwork works for me: Because I am contracted out, I use the ClickNWork site just for invoicing. I generate a weekly timesheet that I submit via email, this is turned into an online invoice which I then submit.

Input: I work pretty much full-time. I generally start at 6:00 with work that has been assigned to me the previous evening, then plan my day around the work load once the client staff get in.

Benefits: Aside from being better able to juggle family life by working from home, the lack of commute allows me to get more into a day. The connectivity with EY has worked out very well and I have only had a couple of technical issues that have been quickly resolved. Being on the company's IM and email systems allows me to feel part of the group, and since many people combine working from home with office work, location is never an issue.

What's Next?: I hope the current arrangement will continue.
