If you've been concerned about the outsourcing of jobs, consider jobs that have been outsourced to home workers. Many call center jobs are being lost from brick and mortar call centers in order to create a virtual call center where calls are routed to home workers.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Look for available home call center jobs with companies that manage virtual call centers. When a company is involved in call center outsourcing, they often hire home workers online. The companies that are often hiring home call center workers are West, Liveops, Virtuserve, Alpine Access, Working Solutions, Convergys, Arise and TeleTech.

  2. Step 2

    Apply to any of the above companies. All are legitimate companies that hire either home call center workers as employees or as independent contractors. Apply through their websites and stay in communication with the companies. Some of the virtual call center companies have a waiting list.

  3. Step 3

    Submit to background a background check if the company requires it. Many call centers must conduct background checks to keep criminals form accessing the personal data of their customers. A few virtual call center companies require the potential employee to pay for the background check. If the company is one of the ones listed above, the charge is a legitimate part of the hiring process.

  4. Step 4

    Buy any equipment that you will need to work your home call center job. Most home call center jobs require a headset for taking calls. Depending on the company, there may be other equipment to buy in order to perform the job properly. This may include software that will allow you to take calls with your home computer and to input information into the company's system.
