Jobs that Can Be Done At-Home....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So what type of jobs can be done at home? I am tempted to say 'practically all of them' but that may not be 100% accurate. Let's face it, there are jobs that just don't fall under the category of work-at-home jobs. Right?

Having sad that, there are a lot of JOBS that can be done at home. But I will only talk about the ones I have first hand knowledge. I will cover one job in one entry plus I will be listing some companies that hire .

Phone Jobs

The name says it all. A lot of phone work involved in this kind of a job. It's actually one of the easiest jobs to land. I got on with one company in my early years of being a WAHM but decided against it because of nerves. Being English not my mother tongue, I just can't master enough courage to call people who may not understand what I am saying. Don't get me wrong. I speak English fluently to the extent that my in-laws and my husband's friends didn't believe at first I was not American BUT I just don't feel confident enough to do phone jobs. Plain and simple.

The company that I got on is called Work At Home Agent. The company is West. I applied [and got accepted] with the company in 2002. A lot has changed since then but the kind of job is basically the same. If you are interested in becoming an agent for them. Visit their Become an Agent page.

Other companies that are hiring home at work agents are:

Live Ops
Verafast
Voicelogs

These are just few of the companies that hire agents that can work at home on a regular basis. They may or may not be hiring at this time but they may be hiring next week or next month. The key is to keep checking. The ones I listed here are agents that accept incoming calls from customers who are either ordering or inquiring about services or products offered by certain companies.

What I wrote here is just one of the many possible phone jobs one can have. Phone jobs also include sales or telemarketing....mostly outgoing calls. Some call this 'solicitation calls' and agents may encounter some not so friendly people in the course of doing this kind of a job. There are also jobs where agents conduct phone surveys.

That's it for now. Just like any other jobs, research is important before applying to a company. Me listing these companies is not in any way a recommendation.
