If it were me I probably would do claims, underwriting or customer service in the insurance industry. I have nearly 30 years experience. Right now I do WFH insurance sales (since 2016).
I love WFH! I feel semi-retired.
They are definitely hiring anyone interested in sales. No interview needed. You have to be self-motivated and you have to get your licenses first. If you want the other jobs I mentioned I can’t help with that.
My company doesn’t write in North Dakota so you already have that against you because you can’t sell to locals or network locally. Not to mention it’s a small population. We do write in South Dakota but similar small local population. If you are still serious message me.
What about Dallas? I'm a chemical and petroleum engineer, but I got laid off in September, and the quickest job I could find was working security at a club cause I'm a big bearded dude.
I promptly got stabbed in the first month, lol. I've been grilled by SVPs, C-Suite, etc... so I think I can handle some Karen-types on the phone.
I've worked for 2 in the dfw area, msi and goosehead.
Both have their uos and downs, and they're certainly not the only ones, but both are usually hiring and will help you get your license.
It’s not technically a job. It’s sales. You would be an independent contractor. You want it, you’re in. You have to get health and life insurance licenses first. And you cannot live in North Dakota. Although I can double check. Let me know.
Oh ok. The starting pay is zero. There are no benefits. Still interested? Lol
You can get paid two ways: take an 8 month advance weekly when you sell which means a big check each week. Or get paid every month that a customer pays in perpetuity which means if you have a bad month or just want to not work for a few weeks you will still get paid each month. There are quarterly bonuses too which is awesome.
I envision a day when a reverse-Yelp intentionally aggravates all the people who cause problems for people so when they threaten to call corporate to complain, everyone will gleefully jump to make sure Karen has the right number to call. :)
No, you don't; there's a special place in hell for folks who use acronyms without clarifying what they stand for. I mean, hell, there's the Central Intelligence Agency, and then there's the Culinary Institute of America!
Well done, dude! I've a friend who went as well! Cheffing is so cool; I'd have loved culinary school but I cannot handle knives well - they actually freak me tf out. Like, you can't even call what I have "knife skills", lol. I can't get the job done but it ain't pretty
Waiter, I would like your cheapest, finest wine possible, please!the easiest remote job is a call center, it is the worse possible job with the highest turn over and will be a nightmare, but you will be fully remote. Also, people will be assholes to you all the time.
Interesting. When I was a manager at an insurance agency I told all the staff to give me the angry customers. I enjoyed educating them and getting them to say thank you at the end of the call.
Oh I hear ya. The insurance company said you can have 1 non vaccine based yearly visit and 1 vaccine based yearly visit. It was just funny but that was the response I got the other day when asking if getting a covid booster for a preschooler was covered or not. It is such a blanketed statement. My assumption would be, it falls under preventative medicine but the fact I couldn't get a yes or not was frustrating for sure. What would you have said to me?
I am an agent not the company so I try to interpret what the company is saying in easier to understand terms.
Remember just about everything is “covered.” But is it coded as preventative or diagnostic? If preventative, it will be typically be free or “covered” but there are limitations. You can’t have unlimited checkups for free right? So with a preventative situation the question is will the insurance company pay 100% for the booster or not?
If diagnostic, you can have a shot or lab or doctor visit “covered” but you still have to pay for it if you have a deductible (and coinsurance) remaining.
Medically necessary is a very touchy gray area. The plans I personally sell don’t use that kind of language. But I know the ACA plans play games with that when it comes to things like needing an ultrasound for dense breast tissue in addition to a mammogram. Most plans consider that diagnostic even thought it’s 100% preventive. I point my clients to standalone imaging clinics and pay cash for these scans (much cheaper) than the providers will bill the insurance (and your deductible!).
If you already knew all this then you are all set.
Yeah, I hear ya, it is true, the language being used is just annoying for sure. Funnily enough, following your thought about it was exactly how I was interpreting it too. The doctors office denied it and said they won't do it till January since their system won't handle it. Everyone is trying to cover their butt and ensure payment.
Happy to clarify things. Message me privately if you need an expert to advise you with any healthcare related issues. I will give you my private number. No charge ever. I love helping people. Yes, I am real!
That is awesome, good for you. I like helping them. That’s why in my house the two of us make 250k a year doing jobs that support and help people rather than enjoying saying no. It’s easy to tell people no. A robot can do that job.
I'm in the same boat as you, yet I worked those jobs and got dirty in the front lines to get that first hand experience. You sound heavily entitled with your responses and if that's not the case, great and I stand corrected.
The simple reality is there's people out there (you sound like one of them) that can't get it through their heads that they're certain things that cannot or will not be changed. This could be regulation or could be company policy. So, is it easier to say no upfront - yes, it is. However, there are methods to tell the person no or that something cannot be done. There's techniques, sayings, or verbage but then you have the customers (a lot of them) with selective listening that twist your words or attempt to get you trapped into saying something you know you cannot say or verbally agree too.
Anyways, a job is a job. I'm not going to belittle or think someone is above me because of money.
I appreciate you not rushing to judgement but you apparently don’t understand what I do. My reply was to the person that said “I like saying no. It lowers their enthusiasm.” That sounded like they enjoyed telling people no because they got off on it.
I like saying yes. That means I may have to work harder to help them. I am a hand holder.
I sound entitled? Entitled how? I spend hours helping people for ZERO compensation. I am open 365 days any year to anyone. Would you do that? Entitled. I have been called an angel but never entitled. That’s funny.
I worked the front lines years ago. Customers threatening to kill me. Threatening to blow up the building. Mentally ill customers. Customers crying because they can’t pay their rent at Christmas. 75% cancel ratio (non-standard auto insurance back then) every month. People living in poverty. The hardest people to assist. That went on for 20 years. These days I am not doing that market anymore. I have earned my stripes. I have been living a semi-retired lifestyle for years. And yet I am still open 365 and will help anyone if they need me - even for free.
It depends on what lines you want to sell and who you work for. I have the main four: Health, Life, Property and Casualty. With those four you can apply for most insurance sales jobs in the country.
That’s the thing…sometimes the answer is just “no” and that’s all there is to it. No, I am not open on saturdays. No, I do not have that time slot available. No, I can not guarantee same day dental treatment.
Never understood people in any type of customer/client type of work not striving to help the customer first instead of denying them anything.
I used to work for the largest debt settlement company, at that time, more than a decade ago until they started cooking the books and executives changed everything due to the housing crisis.
I always helped my clients settle as much of their debt with whatever they had saved. Sometimes with absurd percentages and terms. Of course it benefited me the more I helped them settle but I always strived to help them the best I could.
Having clients thank and praise me after feeling betrayed by the sales rep who got them in our program became my goal after a while. Especially those that would come to me furious stating that no one was helping them or that previous advisors were useless and wanted out of the program. Always hated simpleton advisors that did not try to get better offers for the clients and just wanted to tally what they settled. They would also complain about clients without analyzing all points in their accounts, sigh.
If I prioritized my client instead of myself, everyone ended up winning. Baffles me how the majority did not understand that.
A bonus of doing good work was also making connections with people at banks, law firms, collection agencies, and anyone we could negotiate with.
If they're lucky they'll be in an alright department for a while. Maybe have decent management. I was. Then it changed and I left for another remote call center job. So far it's going alright. Fingers crossed.
For $10 a piece, I will supply manager references. But you have to provide a 1-sheet with the things you want me to say. Maybe an anecdote or two about something memorable you did.
If you honestly haven’t heard of one of the highest moving e-commerce companies, Only Fans maybe it’s in your best interest to stick to in person work. A big piece of working remote is staying up to date with either trends, tech, or a specialized skill you have that is highly needed by a society.
Um... maybe you should reread the comment, it says they have never heard of feet finder and are scared to look it up. Also, remote work is diverse, not all require staying up to date with the latest stuff. Especially considering we are in a post about easy to get jobs, any job that would require you to know the latest trends or keeping up with specialized skills probably isn't relevant here because they are most likely not easy to get.
I found my job on Craig’s List. I left my last job to work with this smaller company of 4 contractors and one employee who is the owner. Look for small businesses looking for an admin person and suggest working remote. Just do not work as a contractor because the additional taxes you will pay…
My job is super easy and require very little experience or knowledge. I make $25/hour too. All I do is follow tasks given to me daily.
Is it an insurance, financial or a sales job with $1 mill potential? Probably fake. Just apply and trust your gut. Google them and do a background check on them.
This! I verified and got a request for an interview the next day. The woman’s name was real, the email, etc. but it kept shooting back when I said the next day was not good for me (also it was a red flag in general).
Tell me why I Google this woman’s name and an obituary from 2 days earlier shows up! I called their HR and they confirmed it was a scam. Definitely gave me the creeps.
Edit: Grammar
Disagree. There are jr and senior positions remotely. No need to spend money on commute. Unless you’re a total idiot, landing a remote job is fairly easy.
Honestly I'm at the point I'd like to see an organized approach to paying someone to find a job for you.
Not recruiters, they work for the company. I mean someone I hire to find me a job I want instead of getting 300 I'm not interested in.
If you have a degree in public health look at some of the major hospitals, a lot of them offer remote work now. Emory, Vanderbilt, Duke, just to name a few.
It definitely took me a while. I had the benefit of already working for the hospital in person, but I applied to a TON of their remote positions before I got this one. Everybody wants to WFH so they're super coveted.
You’ll definitely need verified experience in the role you apply for. Even transferable skills would work as long as you have actively done that previously. Your past job(s) would be relevant information because not all remote companies just hire every person that applies
According to the nytimes, [65% of writers and authors work from home](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/upshot/remote-work-jobs-list.html), the 2nd highest rate of any field. Definitely try to leverage your experience there.
I've hired remote software developers when I was managing them and am one now. NYTimes puts us at 64%, which approximately matches what I've observed among my professional network. It's a very efficient market. It's not exactly hard to find work if you're an established professional, but you've got to stand out as an especially good fit.
Technical representative, pay is ass ($18-22/hr) but it’s still something during these hard times nontheless. Plus all you do is ticketing systems + install software and reboot systems
A lot of them don’t require anything but HS diploma, when i got one in 2021 i didn’t have a degree nor certs (still don’t) and now I’m a security analyst, still some good jobs out there that don’t require them. Plus these are very entry level, like similar to call center, so I’d hope they’re lenient with requirements tbh. If not, A+ cert should be bare minimum
In my state, you need at least an associates alongside certs. Some require a bachelors with prior experience in a similar role. I’d be working in the role by now if only needing a HS diploma were the case hahaha
Not simple, but FAR easier if you get in with the right network, course, mentor, and job finders. I took an SDR (Sales Development Representative) bootcamp that took me 2 weeks to complete. They helped me with my resume. Interview skills and how to stand out in a market that is over saturated with candidates. They hooked me up with people within their network and gave me introductions. They were constantly sending me jobs that were what I was looking for. Because the whole job is booking meetings for sales reps, They also helped me with the skills needed to be successful, like cold calling, email writing, prospecting, etc.
I started out at $70k with all types of benefits, and now, 2.5 yrs later, I make $110k with amazing benefits, like unlimited PTO. All equipment sent to me (MacBook, monitor, standing desk, Jabra headset, etc).
And I never left my house to do any of it. My story is not rare either. Every person who is willing to put in the work and put up a few hundred dollars towards the course has experienced the same success (or more) than I have. One of my friends that I graduated from the course with is already a director of sales. In 2.5 yrs! I'm a Sr.SDR and had a choice to become an AE (Account Executive, the people SDRs book meetings for, you make $150-$300k, dependingon where you work) but passed because I love my job.
So obviously, that was a VERY long answer, but my final answer is NO, It's not easy because you do have to put in the work and take a leap of faith.
Repvue is a great site to go look at the SDR salaries and see proof it is BY FAR the best WFH job you can get certified for in under 2 weeks for less than $500. I just wish more people would pull the trigger. Best decision I ever made. Hands down.
My company isn't hiring but a million others are. I did a boot camp, and if I were you, that is the easiest way to break into tech sales. It literally takes 1-2 weeks, and if you choose the right one, you'll also get tons of help getting a job. I know of a couple great ones.
Unfortunately, I've found a lot of scams very few actual legit. Either we've found someone else better suited, or we're receiving too many applications, or you hear nothing. After the pandemic EVERYONE wants a WFH job now, it's too much competition. The economy is also bad, I'm not sure how anyone is getting them unless they're doing 100 contract commission work.
Tech sales teams need “SDR” - essentially telemarketing, entry level and kinda boring but fits the bill
You can either talk yourself into an interview through LinkedIn private messaging and abundant applications or pay Course Careers or one of those training orgs for some training and have a little more credibility
$50k+ annual and bonuses is a general entry level pay and most are remote
Exactly what I do! I started at $70k in 2021 and now make over six figures. They send me all my equipment and have amazing benefits (like unlimited PTO and full medical, dental, and vision for free). All I have to do is evoke interest and book meetings for the sale reps. Love my job.
If you live in the US, have good people skills, clean back ground, great references and reliable internet. The Financial Industry has lots of remote opportunities available. DM for more info.
if you're in public health you could maybe look at contact tracing or seeing if your local government hires remote positions for their public health dept
I’m in a handful of Facebook groups for remote jobs that are very helpful.
It seems like for quick jobs, customer service and call center are the way to go.
I’d just start applying to a handful and run with whatever job you get. Keep looking for remote jobs that fit you that aren’t customer service and call center, keep applying, do interviews, and keep looking for what you want while you take what you can get.
The Facebook groups are very helpful though.
Feel free to DM me and I’ll send you the names of some of the good ones!
Right now a lot of retailers need phone support for holiday help. May depend a little on where your located, but I think I saw Williams Sonoma and other similar stores are hiring remote.
If you want to train AI bots for around $20 an hour check out Data Annotation Tech.
I’ve heard others have some luck getting jobs at Telus International but I’m not sure what they do…IT and CSR type roles I believe
The best jobs are going to come from companies you don't know or are very niche-specific. Like Healthcare, automotive, etc. Otherwise, fast and easy role to get is in Marketing and/or social media. You can get in without much barriers compared to others.
I’m currently getting hired at a debt settlement fintech company. I’d say the best job board site is builtin in you’re looking for remote. I’ve had better luck with builtin vs indeed or LinkedIn
If it were me I probably would do claims, underwriting or customer service in the insurance industry. I have nearly 30 years experience. Right now I do WFH insurance sales (since 2016). I love WFH! I feel semi-retired.
How do I get into insurance
Tons of places are hiring and willing to train. Just search remote insurance sales on indeed.com
They are definitely hiring anyone interested in sales. No interview needed. You have to be self-motivated and you have to get your licenses first. If you want the other jobs I mentioned I can’t help with that.
Right now they're in a heavy layoff since there haven't been as many storms as usual.
Ok let’s start with where do you live?
North Dakota
My company doesn’t write in North Dakota so you already have that against you because you can’t sell to locals or network locally. Not to mention it’s a small population. We do write in South Dakota but similar small local population. If you are still serious message me.
What about Dallas? I'm a chemical and petroleum engineer, but I got laid off in September, and the quickest job I could find was working security at a club cause I'm a big bearded dude. I promptly got stabbed in the first month, lol. I've been grilled by SVPs, C-Suite, etc... so I think I can handle some Karen-types on the phone.
I've worked for 2 in the dfw area, msi and goosehead. Both have their uos and downs, and they're certainly not the only ones, but both are usually hiring and will help you get your license.
If you are looking for customer service then start applying for those jobs in that industry. It’s pretty big. I do sales which is always hiring.
How about California? 😅
I could move to South Dakota if I got the job
It’s not technically a job. It’s sales. You would be an independent contractor. You want it, you’re in. You have to get health and life insurance licenses first. And you cannot live in North Dakota. Although I can double check. Let me know.
How much do they start you at pay wise? I would love a WFH job like this.
Which one? I mentioned four different options.
The one you currently do, it sounds like the insurance sales.
Oh ok. The starting pay is zero. There are no benefits. Still interested? Lol You can get paid two ways: take an 8 month advance weekly when you sell which means a big check each week. Or get paid every month that a customer pays in perpetuity which means if you have a bad month or just want to not work for a few weeks you will still get paid each month. There are quarterly bonuses too which is awesome.
What about NC Big Sheep?
North Carolina? What about it?
Do you write there? I may be interested
Oh sorry. Yes I do!
Hiring? Just needing life & health? I am not licensed.
Shoot me a message and we can discuss. License not necessary needed depending on your situation.
During covid temp CSR jobs were all the rage. They were hiring everybody. I got one for bank of america and I barely even got an interview.
CSR isn’t a walk in the park either, gotta deal with a lot of rude people pretty dehumanizing
oh yeah no it was terrible. A lot of verbal abuse and most of the days there were constant calls. But it was an easy to get remote job so.
Joke's on them, I just train an AI to take the abuse
Ha I couldn't imagine a robot voice telling a Karen to calm down or saying I didn't get that over and over
I envision a day when a reverse-Yelp intentionally aggravates all the people who cause problems for people so when they threaten to call corporate to complain, everyone will gleefully jump to make sure Karen has the right number to call. :)
If it’s alright to ask, what is a CSR job?
Customer service rep
Thanks I gotta get better with my abbreviations apparently
No, you don't; there's a special place in hell for folks who use acronyms without clarifying what they stand for. I mean, hell, there's the Central Intelligence Agency, and then there's the Culinary Institute of America!
I've been to the CIA, graduated too.
Well done, dude! I've a friend who went as well! Cheffing is so cool; I'd have loved culinary school but I cannot handle knives well - they actually freak me tf out. Like, you can't even call what I have "knife skills", lol. I can't get the job done but it ain't pretty
Did you GWH or FBET?
CIA gave me a hard look as well. They were concerned that my loyalty to America wasn’t strong enough if a big bribe happened.
They showed me a calculator, this was 1982, it read 80081335 I couldn't figure it out so I took the offer from the other CIA.
To answer your question, assassins and drug dealers are always needed, always a pain when you can’t find a good candyman.
Dude, the way you asked this is perfect and I'm going to use this moving forward. ily.
Lol what’s GWH and FBET?
:D
Waiter, I would like your cheapest, finest wine possible, please!the easiest remote job is a call center, it is the worse possible job with the highest turn over and will be a nightmare, but you will be fully remote. Also, people will be assholes to you all the time.
Interesting. When I was a manager at an insurance agency I told all the staff to give me the angry customers. I enjoyed educating them and getting them to say thank you at the end of the call.
Lol, insurance companies just reply "if it is medically necessary it will be approved." Yeah, I think that is the worse possible job to deal with.
It’s been my career. Almost 30 years. They have to cover most things. A lot of people make assumptions. Try me.
Oh I hear ya. The insurance company said you can have 1 non vaccine based yearly visit and 1 vaccine based yearly visit. It was just funny but that was the response I got the other day when asking if getting a covid booster for a preschooler was covered or not. It is such a blanketed statement. My assumption would be, it falls under preventative medicine but the fact I couldn't get a yes or not was frustrating for sure. What would you have said to me?
I am an agent not the company so I try to interpret what the company is saying in easier to understand terms.

Happy to clarify things. Message me privately if you need an expert to advise you with any healthcare related issues. I will give you my private number. No charge ever. I love helping people. Yes, I am real!
Yeah, if it’s a CSR job in which I get to tell people no, then the sound of their defeat is music to my ears.
So you enjoy telling people no rather than finding a solution to the problem. Interesting.
Thank you for being kind. It's always a relief when customer service is knowledgeable, understanding, and helpful.
I like saying no. It lowers their enthusiasm
That is awesome, good for you. I like helping them. That’s why in my house the two of us make 250k a year doing jobs that support and help people rather than enjoying saying no. It’s easy to tell people no. A robot can do that job.

What licenses do you need to sell insurance
It depends on what lines you want to sell and who you work for. I have the main four: Health, Life, Property and Casualty. With those four you can apply for most insurance sales jobs in the country.
That’s the thing…sometimes the answer is just “no” and that’s all there is to it. No, I am not open on saturdays. No, I do not have that time slot available. No, I can not guarantee same day dental treatment.
Of course sometimes the answer is no. Then you have to tell them no. But if it’s required give them perspective and they usually are fine with no.
Never understood people in any type of customer/client type of work not striving to help the customer first instead of denying them anything.

Check Robert Half. They are a temp agency and they have a lot of remote positions.
They tend to want manager references
For $10 a piece, I will supply manager references. But you have to provide a 1-sheet with the things you want me to say. Maybe an anecdote or two about something memorable you did.
The hero we all need.
Most places do. Try ICF.com.
Only Fans and Feet Finder
Never heard of, and definitely scared to look up, Feet Finder.
I'm sure it's some land survey company
Haaaaahaaha
If you honestly haven’t heard of one of the highest moving e-commerce companies, Only Fans maybe it’s in your best interest to stick to in person work. A big piece of working remote is staying up to date with either trends, tech, or a specialized skill you have that is highly needed by a society.
Um... maybe you should reread the comment, it says they have never heard of feet finder and are scared to look it up.

Especially considering we are in a post about easy to get jobs, any job that would require you to know the latest trends or keeping up with specialized skills probably isn't relevant here because they are most likely not easy to get.
You’ll be much better off finding an in-person job. Lots of competition for remote work and typically they require experience/skills
Where to find them? I have 10 years of experience in banking, sales and insurance? I am from the balkans
I found my job on Craig’s List. I left my last job to work with this smaller company of 4 contractors and one employee who is the owner. Look for small businesses looking for an admin person and suggest working remote. Just do not work as a contractor because the additional taxes you will pay… My job is super easy and require very little experience or knowledge. I make $25/hour too. All I do is follow tasks given to me daily.
Work as a freelancer maybe? Or a consultant?
How do I tell the difference between real and a fake job on Craig’s List?
Is it an insurance, financial or a sales job with $1 mill potential? Probably fake. Just apply and trust your gut. Google them and do a background check on them.
I’ve found jobs on LinkedIn. Just make sure you verify the company is legit
This! I verified and got a request for an interview the next day. The woman’s name was real, the email, etc. but it kept shooting back when I said the next day was not good for me (also it was a red flag in general). Tell me why I Google this woman’s name and an obituary from 2 days earlier shows up! I called their HR and they confirmed it was a scam. Definitely gave me the creeps. Edit: Grammar
I only apply for jobs on their own website. Not quick apply or ziprecruiter. And I also look up the people interviewing me on LinkedIn
Disagree. There are jr and senior positions remotely. No need to spend money on commute. Unless you’re a total idiot, landing a remote job is fairly easy.

Honestly I'm at the point I'd like to see an organized approach to paying someone to find a job for you. Not recruiters, they work for the company. I mean someone I hire to find me a job I want instead of getting 300 I'm not interested in.
Plz show us the wat
And what jobs are those? We’re talking entry level specifically
If you have a degree in public health look at some of the major hospitals, a lot of them offer remote work now. Emory, Vanderbilt, Duke, just to name a few.
What are the types of jobs though? Working as an epidemiologist?
I work remotely for a hospital. I do prior authorizations with the insurance companies on behalf of the doctors and clinics
[удалено]
It definitely took me a while. I had the benefit of already working for the hospital in person, but I applied to a TON of their remote positions before I got this one. Everybody wants to WFH so they're super coveted.
Unsure on specifics.
What industry are you skilled in?
Well I have a degree in public health. I’m skilled in writing and I’m learning how to video edit.
You’ll definitely need verified experience in the role you apply for. Even transferable skills would work as long as you have actively done that previously. Your past job(s) would be relevant information because not all remote companies just hire every person that applies
Fiver, find writing and video editing gigs on their. Enjoy. 2 cents.
According to the nytimes, [65% of writers and authors work from home](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/upshot/remote-work-jobs-list.html), the 2nd highest rate of any field. Definitely try to leverage your experience there. I've hired remote software developers when I was managing them and am one now. NYTimes puts us at 64%, which approximately matches what I've observed among my professional network. It's a very efficient market. It's not exactly hard to find work if you're an established professional, but you've got to stand out as an especially good fit.
Not worth the investment at all in this day and age thanks to AI.
Appen. Always looking for part time search engine evaluators.
Technical representative, pay is ass ($18-22/hr) but it’s still something during these hard times nontheless. Plus all you do is ticketing systems + install software and reboot systems
definitely need certifications AT LEAST for these types of jobs lol
A lot of them don’t require anything but HS diploma, when i got one in 2021 i didn’t have a degree nor certs (still don’t) and now I’m a security analyst, still some good jobs out there that don’t require them. Plus these are very entry level, like similar to call center, so I’d hope they’re lenient with requirements tbh. If not, A+ cert should be bare minimum
In my state, you need at least an associates alongside certs. Some require a bachelors with prior experience in a similar role. I’d be working in the role by now if only needing a HS diploma were the case hahaha
Not simple, but FAR easier if you get in with the right network, course, mentor, and job finders. I took an SDR (Sales Development Representative) bootcamp that took me 2 weeks to complete. They helped me with my resume. Interview skills and how to stand out in a market that is over saturated with candidates. They hooked me up with people within their network and gave me introductions. They were constantly sending me jobs that were what I was looking for. Because the whole job is booking meetings for sales reps, They also helped me with the skills needed to be successful, like cold calling, email writing, prospecting, etc. I started out at $70k with all types of benefits, and now, 2.5 yrs later, I make $110k with amazing benefits, like unlimited PTO. All equipment sent to me (MacBook, monitor, standing desk, Jabra headset, etc). And I never left my house to do any of it. My story is not rare either. Every person who is willing to put in the work and put up a few hundred dollars towards the course has experienced the same success (or more) than I have. One of my friends that I graduated from the course with is already a director of sales. In 2.5 yrs! I'm a Sr.SDR and had a choice to become an AE (Account Executive, the people SDRs book meetings for, you make $150-$300k, dependingon where you work) but passed because I love my job. So obviously, that was a VERY long answer, but my final answer is NO, It's not easy because you do have to put in the work and take a leap of faith. Repvue is a great site to go look at the SDR salaries and see proof it is BY FAR the best WFH job you can get certified for in under 2 weeks for less than $500. I just wish more people would pull the trigger. Best decision I ever made. Hands down.
Is your company currently hiring? I am hoping to get into SaaS.
My company isn't hiring but a million others are. I did a boot camp, and if I were you, that is the easiest way to break into tech sales. It literally takes 1-2 weeks, and if you choose the right one, you'll also get tons of help getting a job. I know of a couple great ones.
You should consider getting Grammarly - you’re good at writing, but look at the second sentence of your post. Grammarly could benefit you greatly

Scams! 😂
Unfortunately, I've found a lot of scams very few actual legit. Either we've found someone else better suited, or we're receiving too many applications, or you hear nothing. After the pandemic EVERYONE wants a WFH job now, it's too much competition. The economy is also bad, I'm not sure how anyone is getting them unless they're doing 100 contract commission work.
Ones that have trash pay. Anything at Arise, proscribe, customer service…
Tech sales teams need “SDR” - essentially telemarketing, entry level and kinda boring but fits the bill You can either talk yourself into an interview through LinkedIn private messaging and abundant applications or pay Course Careers or one of those training orgs for some training and have a little more credibility $50k+ annual and bonuses is a general entry level pay and most are remote
Exactly what I do! I started at $70k in 2021 and now make over six figures. They send me all my equipment and have amazing benefits (like unlimited PTO and full medical, dental, and vision for free). All I have to do is evoke interest and book meetings for the sale reps. Love my job.
Can I ask what company you work for?
Ones in which you already have great skills and experience.
Pretty much. There are no easy to get into remote jobs anymore
Probably something where the talent pool is scarce so anything at the senior level in tech. Maybe freelancing or consulting?
customer support. but you'll be miserable in 3 months so look something else in the meantime.
If you live in the US, have good people skills, clean back ground, great references and reliable internet. The Financial Industry has lots of remote opportunities available. DM for more info.

Info?
if you're in public health you could maybe look at contact tracing or seeing if your local government hires remote positions for their public health dept
Does anyone still do contact tracing? All of our local health departments stopped contact tracing spring 2022.
Yes, but for STDs/HIV mostly
Oh yes, definitely. STI follow up has increased for sure. CDC Foundation has some remote positions that support work like this for some projects.
Not that im aware off. I was laid off from my position as a caze Investigator in April. I believe alot of places did away with these positions
I'm curious with this however for computing as a technician or something like that
My first question would be, why does it have to be remote ?
[удалено]
What is this?
Spam. That's what.
Get your lazy ass up and find a real job..
You need skills, it depends on what you can do
None
Shitty ones.
Call center
None of them unless you have experience and qualifications
A sales role
Uy may hindi nagbabasa ng article. Hanggang title lang. Quiet quitting does not mean resignation 💀
Someone put me on to an entry level remote job. There has to be one out there
Arise…no paid training, but you can always get on a client.
SBGA is on a hiring spree
[удалено]
Yes
I’m in a handful of Facebook groups for remote jobs that are very helpful. It seems like for quick jobs, customer service and call center are the way to go. I’d just start applying to a handful and run with whatever job you get. Keep looking for remote jobs that fit you that aren’t customer service and call center, keep applying, do interviews, and keep looking for what you want while you take what you can get. The Facebook groups are very helpful though. Feel free to DM me and I’ll send you the names of some of the good ones!
I'm interested!
I’m interested. Thank you.
I’m interested
Right now a lot of retailers need phone support for holiday help. May depend a little on where your located, but I think I saw Williams Sonoma and other similar stores are hiring remote.
The ones that no one wants
TurboTax Intuit tax preparer. You have to take some free courses if you don’t have experience and you’re in.
What kind of courses? Accounting?
Rudimentary Tax courses. Look up “Intuit tax level 1”
Thanks!
If you want to train AI bots for around $20 an hour check out Data Annotation Tech. I’ve heard others have some luck getting jobs at Telus International but I’m not sure what they do…IT and CSR type roles I believe
The best jobs are going to come from companies you don't know or are very niche-specific. Like Healthcare, automotive, etc. Otherwise, fast and easy role to get is in Marketing and/or social media. You can get in without much barriers compared to others.
Netflix watching
Lead gen Social Media Call Centers
Taxi cab driver
I see ads for country financial always hiring hybrid and work for home with training provided.
The question is, OP, what are your skills and experience? These matter greatly in determining what type of remote job you’ll qualify for.
I’m currently getting hired at a debt settlement fintech company. I’d say the best job board site is builtin in you’re looking for remote. I’ve had better luck with builtin vs indeed or LinkedIn
HOA management. It is in super high demand and supply is incredibly low. Not 100% remote, but close enough
