Online Jobs: At Home Customer Service Representative

As I have mentioned in my previous post, a very good source of income can be the found online. One such job is that of an At Home Customer Service Representative (CSR). For those of you who do not know what a CSR is, they are the one's who provide customer service solutions over the phone to problems of any kind. They're the one's answering your questions if you dial a 1-800 number for assistance. Though this can be a difficult task, once you have mastered it it can already come with a sense of ease. Now with the trends of jobs being done online, the CSR position has also followed suit and you can now be a customer service representative from the comfort of your very own home. Check out my tips below on how to help you land that job:

  • Research, research, research - With a lot of companies now offering online CSR jobs, a lot of scammers and con artists are also prowling around looking to make a quick buck. This is why research is very important to ensure that you are not joining a shady company or being had by scam artists. Only choose the notable companies which are already established in the Customer Service industry. One such company is TeleTech, which also offers at home jobs. You may visit their website here or their recruitment portal here.

  • Watch your Language - part of the job is talking, talking, and talking, thus language skills and abilities are key. If you are not that much of a conversationalist try to practice in front of a mirror of with the help of a friend. Imagine that you are talking to a customer and imagine that you will be doing that for a profession. Learn to use pleasing and polite words and tone of voice.

  • Type Away - As part of the online job, you will need to encode at the same time that you are talking. This is a vital part of the job and typing skills are very important. If you are not that fast in terms of typing speed, take on some free tutorials and typing tests to help you improve before taking on this job.

  • Smile on the Phone - I know it may be hard to imagine but the job of the CSR is to please the customer, and they need to do this with a smile on their faces. Although a smile can't be seen over the phone, try to incorporate it with your words, tone, and expressions. Once you get the hang of this, it will surely help you become a good CSR

These are just some of the tips I have for you to prepare you for the At Home CSR job. Feel free to leave comments and suggestions in case you have any so that I may address them. And once more, Good Luck in your hunt for a job!

Make Money, Save Money: Let Your Money Earn For You


One important thing that is very evident in this world is that looking for quick ways to earn money is not easy. Get quick rich schemes sound too good to be true, and usually they really are. Make sure that you understand that making money may take time, but one more important thing than making money, is saving money.

Okay, you now have a decent job online, say being a writer. Now what? Of course you would like to get your hands on as many projects as possible for you to maximize and earn profit. Once you have profit or money, then what? People who don't know the answer to the second question will most likely be wondering in a matter of days or weeks "Where did all my money go?" and the cycle will start once more. It's a vicious cycle that one needs to stay out of. Know what to do with your money, and better yet, let your money earn for you.

Invest. Investing is not only a term that is used by people in Wall Street. Everyone can invest in anything. It's just a matter of what you're investing in and how that will impact on you and your financial status. Once you have the money, learn how to invest and invest wisely. You may opt to invest in a business, or in something that you are passionate about. The choice is entirely up to you. Just make sure that you are not gambling. Investing is totally different from gambling. In gambling, the returns are unsure and often luck is involved for you to get a payout. In wise investing, your money is secure, and not only will it be safe, it will also earn for you even.

Save. If you don't really want the hassle of investing and doing the necessary research to make the right moves and succeed, you can always save your money in a bank and watch your money grow. The dividends are not that big as compared to investment, but it's risk-free and very simple to do. This is a good option especially to people who don't want additional hassle on their plate.

Plan. Planning is vital for you to succeed in anything. Be it in sports, in life, or in terms of your finances. Ensure that you plan on what to do with your money even before you start looking for a job. Know what your goal is and make a plan that will lead you to accomplish that goal. Nothing is impossible with the right plan and the proper implementation.

These are only guides that may help ensure that your hard earned money don't disappear faster than you make them. In this world, and in these harsh times we need to do whatever we can to stay financially afloat so that we can continue to move forward and aim high for our goals.
