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.
