When looking for legitimate work at home jobs, consider working for a virtual call center (outsourcing firms that provide live phone operator support services). This type of work basically entails customer service and support duties. These job titles and positions are commonly referred to as home-based: Call Center Agents, Customer Service Agents, Live Operators and Phone Operators.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Understand home based customer service employment. It’s really not as complicated as it sounds. It’s simply the concept of a company routing their incoming customer service calls to your home phone. There is no selling involved! These are incoming and inbound calls only. Home-based agents are NOT telemarketers (sales callers that cold all people during dinner with high pressure sales pitches).

  2. Step 2

    Understand the duties. Typical call center agents perform duties, such as, taking and logging orders, processing transactions, providing customer assistance and making various types of reservations. For example, you could be taking orders for flowers, catalog items, office supplies, etc…, for and on behalf of today’s most popular and biggest names in the wireless, internet, retail, restaurant and other industries.

  3. Step 3

    Discover the advantages. Working as a home-based call center agent provides a legitimate way for stay-at-home moms, individuals with disabilities, retirees, college students and those who care for elderly or ill family members to earn a steady and realistic income of $8 to $20 per hour. And, since all agent hiring, training and scheduling is conducted online, you don’t even have to get out of your pajamas to get a job!

  4. Step 4

    Go to the "Resources" section below and browse through the list of companies and web sites hire that home based customer service and/or call center agents.

  5. Step 5

    Apply and submit your application and resume! Take this seriously and be professional. Always apply for a work at home job just as you would any other job.
