What you should have or begin purchasing for your work from home transition!
While you should already have your desktop computer, you should also consider getting at minimum 1 additional monitor.
Multiple monitors can assist you with becoming proficient with your clients and/or make navigating a clients system easier, especially when you have multiple systems to access.
Items that are useful to have and provide extra benefits for work and home!
1. Printer - w/paper refills and ink refills (black is most used).
2. Shredder - you will need to properly dispose of any work related information that is confidential and a shredder can be used to maintain the safety of your own personal information. (cross shredder recommend)
3. Lock for your office (room/other) - any lock will work as long as it has a key, I prefer a deadbolt lock but it's not necessary.
4. USB head phones with microphone - although you can call into training with you work phone, this is a requirement and is beneficial with some clients as we are transitioning to VoIP calls. It's great to already have this on hand.
5. USB thumb driver/jump drive/flash drive - required for some clients but great to have when you need to save pictures, documents, etc off-line and allow them to be transported safely.
6. Wired keyboard and mouse - even if you prefer wireless, some clients require wired and their systems may not function properly with a wireless device.
I hope this helps with your transition. Comment below to add to the list, sharing is caring after all š.
