Telecommuting

Several months ago I posted a message questioning whether telecommuting
	was a reality or just a perk to full-time employees, but not really
	open to consultants. Since then many people have responded that they
	would like to get into telecommuting also, and wondered if I had any
	luck selling this idea to a client.

	Unfortunately, many clients are contacting me for full-time on-site
	positions, and are ignoring the objective section of my resume which
	asks specifically for telecommuting work. In fact, 540 people have
	reviewed my resume at http://www2.netcom.com/~dandicar/resume.html,
	but not one of the many callers have mentioned telecommuting.

	My question is this: how would you go about getting a client to
	consider you as a telecommuting programmer? I have thought about
	asking every one who read this meesage for a copy of their resume,
	the logic being that I could present a number of telecommuting
	programmers to the client and not just myself. But I'd like to 
	hear your thoughts on marketing yourself as telecommuting programmer.

	Thanks,
	Dan
