Working On the Go: How To Adapt to a Mobile Job |
Anyone whose job has them on the road a lot knows that working on the go requires completely different materials than working in the office. Gone are the staplers and stamps - working on the go largely means going digital.
|
So what should you download or purchase to ensure you're as effective an employee on the go? Check out our list of must-haves.
Get A Calendar That Syncs: Since you won't be reporting to the same office every day, you'll need a calendar that can follow you everywhere. Create a Google or Yahoo Calendar and keep all of your appointments there. Google will email you (if you like) to remind you of an upcoming meeting or assignment. Even better, if you schedule a meeting while on your computer, Google will sync it automatically with your smartphone's calendar. No need to enter it in twice.
Quit Searching for WiFi: While coffee shops may be your new best friend, there will undoubtedly be times that you wish you had WiFi - like when you're in the parking lot at a client's office and forget to edit a document. Look into purchasing your own hotspot generator from your wireless provider. About the size of a credit card stack, you instantly can create your own hotspot to access the Internet- no coffee shop necessary.
Store it on the Cloud: As much as possible, store your documents on the cloud. This way, no matter where you set up shop that day, you'll be able to access your files remotely. Great sites for this include Dropbox or even Google Docs, which are both free. With Google Drive, you can share documents, spreadsheets, and
Fax if You Must: Depending on your job, you may still need to use a fax machine. Instead of lugging around your own in your new mobile lifestyle, sign up for sites like MyFax.com, which forwards your faxes right to your email.presentations with the rest of your team and see their changes instantly.
Have a Tech Resource: If anything comes up when you're working on the go, you can feel stranded. Be sure to have tech support on speed dial, like Computer Troubleshooters. We'll be there to assist you - no matter where your office is that day.
