Mainly genuine at home call center jobs require you to have in home office equipment,. Rather than spending money to get set up as a work at home call center agent, ask some questions.
What kind of work does the company offer home call center representatives?
Determine whether the company you’re considering contracts with clients to provide call center service or if the company operates the services itself. Establish the type of call center jobs they offer? The most common types are:
* Sales or telemarketing
* Customer service
* Verification
* Technical support
Determine the home office equipment is required?
Home call center office necessities differ from company to company. The standard equipment you’ll need a computer , land phone line, a headset, and high speed internet.
Fees to applicants?
Pay close attention to the fee structure. If they charge anything other than a background check fee, most likely it is a scam. There are a couple of exceptions to the rule. However, if they are not listed in the call center section of this blog, you may want to contact the BBB before paying any additional fees.
Scam Fee List:
* Application fees
* Testing costs
* Specialize equipment and software
* Training
Education and skill requirements
Skills differ depending on the type of work. A minimum age of 18 with a high school diploma or GED. Most do not require previous customer service experience.
You must be:
* Dependability
* Self-motivated
* Professional phone presence (good grammar)
* Detail-oriented
* Basic math and writing skills
* Knowledge of word processing systems
Pay
Work-at-home call center representatives are often paid a per minute, per call or per hour rate. Agents compensated on a per call or per minute are paid only for time spent on the phone, not for time waiting for calls to come in. On average, an agent can make around $10.00 an hour. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the company.

Call center jobs pay anywhere from min wage to around $16 an hour. Some of the jobs pay by “talk time” meaning they pay according the the amount of time you spend talking to a customer. For instance, Liveops, http://liveops.com pays around .25 a min talk time. Which really ads up as they are usually back to back calls. I worked them for three year, you are an independent contractor with them, you work when you want up to 40 hours a week. It all just depends on the company. As you well know, each and every job has their pros and cons and at home call center work is really no different than any other job.
