WorkingSolutions
Working Solutions was created in 1996, to provide more legitimate work-at-home opportunities for those caring for family members, looking for supplemental income, and wanting or needing to work from home. We do focus primarily on various types of call center (phone) work, as well as some data entry projects. Call center projects can include order processing, reservations, enrollments, customer service, sales, market research, technical support, etc. Other types of project work may be added at any time. Our technology enables calls to be routed right to the Agent's home office. The Agent's privacy is always maintained, and there are no long distance charges. If you are only able to do non-phone work, or can only work certain hours, such as evenings and weekends, just be sure to note this where prompted on the Agent Application. Hours and requirements for each project are different, but some do include non-business hours. For most projects, Agents schedule their own hours online, one week in advance, so hours can differ from week to week.
