Always a need for telemarketers...

Among the many great work at home jobs out there- telemarketing really is not at the top of my list. However, I do like having the money to pay my bills and put food on our dinner table (or TV trays). So, every now and then a girl has to take a job she might not like, and that is exactly what I did when I worked for a company named Siris Solutions.

Siris Solutions does mostly fundraising type calls in Canada. The work is simple, and the pay is good. They pay weekly, and they pay on time. I believe the required schedule is something like 3 hour blocks, but this may have changed.

The only problem I had with this company was the requirement to work evening hours. Each contractor had to work at least two evening shifts during the M-F work week. This is not a problem for people who have a spouse at home to watch children, but at the time I was alone with my son every day until 11pm. My 5 year old spent many evenings cuddled up on our ottoman, playing board games in between my work calls. He even memorized some of the script I had to read.

Siris Solutions is great for anyone who is working for steady work. There will always be a need for fundraising efforts. Check out www.sirisathome.com

I am not a recruiter or an employee of Siris Solutions...this is all my opinion based on my past experience with this nice company.

Another work at home lead...

Among the many great companies that contract with telecommuters is Working Solutions. This company pays a base rate, so there is always a guarantee of money. Plus, sales will earn you even more money. There are some contractors that make upwards of $30 an hour, depending on the account they are working.
Working Solutions has a very long list of people waiting for an opportunity to be interviewed. I suggest getting your name on that list now, and maybe by the time the holidays roll around there will be a need for extra contractors.
Check out www.workingsolutions.com for more information and the application.

One thing to note- if you do happen to get an interview, prepare yourself for questions related to sales, up selling, and even cross-selling. This should of course be the case for any job that involves sales, so this information is more of a tip for any sales position you are after.

Good luck.

Long time- no post!

My oh my it has been a long time since I posted to this blog. So much has changed since January.

But one thing has not, and that is my never ending quest for new and exciting at home work.

My goal is to post information to this blog at least one time per day. If you have any questions, please contact me.

One great company to contract with is ACD Direct. This company takes in-bound calls for various organizations. The work is very easy, although the pay can be rather low. The pay rate is per minute, and there are about 4 busy times per year. This is a great side job for anyone interested in simple phone work. I must admit that the training is long, and it is unpaid- and not always conducted in the most organized manner. But the company seems to be improving, and the people who run the place are among the nicest I have ever worked with.
