My Work from Home Journey:
My very first ever work from home job started in October of 2008. I was told by my sister to go and apply at Teletech Holdings, Inc about 45 minutes from my house and I was scheduled for an interview, during one of my phone calls to set something up - the voice prompt message mentioned “Teletech at Home ” agents - I then typed that into Google - and there it was. I was hired fairly quickly and simply. I did have to have some things notarized and sent in and did have to go to Amherst after all just to pee in a cup - as they don’t want just anyone handling account information - but yes it has been a decent paying, steady though seasonal work at home job. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is computer savvy as I was trained to use 5 programs for the season.
While there, one of the girls that had been working from her home for over 4 years - gave me a heads up on two links for more work at home jobs. I listed those and a couple of my other treasures here . Though a little tedious in the signing up and searching prospect - what GREAT resources they are! Forums and links of work at home jobs with others commentating on their experiences - weeding out the spam and the “business opportunities”.
I have always loved to write and it was from one of those boards I discovered today.com where I get paid (though a minimal amount) to write. Something of course is better than nothing, and the more traffic I draw in the greater the pay. There are other perks with it also, but I have found after a few posts that I don’t have as much to write about as what I first thought…lol. I used to send “newsletters” throughout my emails to my friends and family members advising them on great new things to download, etc. I decided to put those in blog form and get paid for them, and well, here I am.
Well after finding that there were bona fide hourly paying jobs that would save on gas and vehicle wear and tear, I was on a mission. I am now expecting Teletech Holdings, Inc. to end at some point in January - though they are not being open about an ending date. I already have an interview on January 2nd with 1-800-Flowers which doesn’t sound too bad and also Info Cision which hires only in Ohio and Pennsylvania. It sounds like Info Cision will be a mixture of incoming and outgoing calls. I’m not real crazy about the outgoing calls but it may be more steady than 1-800-Flowers which could be primarily through Valentine’s Day and Easter, but who knows?
I will keep you posted so check back!
