Note that they are not exclusive e.g. full time might including flexi time. - Part time contract - Shift work - Telecommuting - Flexi time - Hot desking - Freelancing - Working from home Full time Part time – same as full time but less number of hours (days) per week. Shift week – you may or may not know in advance your shifts. You can find shift work in factories but also cafes. Telecommuting – the original work from home. All you need is a computer and a phone line. Flexi time – you start and finish between certain hours e.g. between 7 and 9. Hot desking – a new way of working that began about 15 years ago. It was thought that people have a fixed desk meant that they had a fixed way of thinking, and it was also very hierarchical. So hot-desking – you just put your computer down where you want to work or where there’s a free desk. Used a lot with sales people who spend the week on the road coming to the office on a Friday (for example). Freelancing – you get projects, with a contract. This type of work is usually for writers, architects etc. Working from home – This way of working is becoming more and more popular especially if you have children or are looking after elderly parents.
