Homys
Homys (www.Homys.org) is a company of people working with Rural System throughout the world. They work at home. Rural System arranges and manages a homesourcing system. It is transnational. Working from home is the only distinguishing characteristic of these people other than that they have expertise, have declared interest in and concern for natural resources of the world, and have pledged diligent and honest work. They engage in all types of work and all is meaningful for it fits within a system dedicated to human benefits from rural resources. Many are very well educated and either prefer the advantages and economies of working at home or find staying at home is essential because of family, health, or other reasons. Maybe there have been layoffs or closures and temporary employment is needed. After the Katrina storm event, similar emergencies suggested other needs for membership. Census Bureau statistics suggest that the number of American working from home grew by 800,000 from 1990 to 2000 ( a 23% increase. Of course we are eager to work with Defense Department staff and security forces now affected by their services to the country. High travel costs and risks increasingly promote membership and Homys work.
Operating somewhat like a dating service, Rural System solicits members, i.e. , willing workers, finds their strengths and interests, and offers them piece or hourly-wage work. Members become part of a diverse, dispersed, eclectic entity. They gain funds for their work, experience a new kind of community feeling, and gain from offerings of Rural System - medical advisories, emergency links, health information, exercise routines, occasional conferences, news of Rural System, and catalog offering discounts. Members may attend occasional meetings or engage in distance-learning to gain knowledge of Rural System and positive interactions.
A proposed , draft newspaper advertisement for soliciting members (partially to describe the system):
Brand New Rural System's We have a great awareness of the presence of and respect for adults at home. We know that there are wonderful abilities and interests there, often unfulfilled. We're creating a dispersed company and if you have two or more hours to work with us a day, even a few days a week, we want you in our company, Homys. We know that there are plenty of reasons why you are at home. We'll not concentrate on that, only on your abilities and interests, our corporate needs for quality work, continuing profitability, and support for improving conditions in rural areas of the world. We need your willingness to work and make honest money. We're not guaranteeing employment. We're seeking workers for special tasks, types of work, or assignments. Our work is almost unlimited - from computer work to gardening. We're creating opportunities and memberships, saving energy, improving the quality of life for hundreds. We're getting started and we'll offer more later but for now we want you to join us in a global adventure - a venture. We'll probably hire you for what amounts to what is called in some circles "piece work." or jobs. We deliver materials and assignments --you deliver high-quality results, and we pay well. The scale increases as the amount increases -- the better, the more...the more, the better the pay. We're into pure capitalism, worldwide -- with a rural priority. We're part of Rural System (www.RuralSystem.com). We're helping sustain diverse rural resources.We'll succeed and prosper together. Think with us; work with us; tell us what you can do. Perhaps two or three of you will form a team and make a single response. What are your work interests? We try to be creative and open to that creativity of others. Answer our computer form (and add notes or a letter if you desire to do so) in complete confidence. No cost. This one ad might be the key to your future and to vitalized rural areas of Virginia Tennessee, and, yes, also the world. Save the ad for framing, but before that, answer our questionnaire at www.Homys.com Check out the parent company at www.RuralSystem.com. |
