Companies that Hire Independent Contractors

Hi Everyone

I have listed some companies to the left of this page that I have applied for, or worked for that hire customer service reps to work from home. Believe it or not, there are many legitimate companies to work for. Most of the time the only out of pocket money is the cost of a back ground check (usually $30 to $40 dollars) and your equipment. When you apply with these companies, take your time. Apply when you can really focus on the application process. It will mean the difference between rejection and acceptance. (It will also make the application process easier if you have a copy of your resume saved somewhere on your computer.)

A word of advice, most of these companies expect you to have reserved an area in your home to take or place calls that is free from distractions. So if you have an extra bedroom, a basement space, that would be perfect. What they want to hear during the phone interview is that you have an in your home, apt, etc. that is set up with your required equipment and is free from distractions. Most companies will require a phone interview, you will probably be reading from a script, so practice first. Most do allow you an opportunity to redo if you make an error.

Also each company has a different application process. With some the application process is very user friendly, with others you'll want to pull your hair out. So before your start the application process, get a cup of coffee or a cold Mountain Dew, allow an hour or two and just do it. Also keep records or notes somewhere of who you sent an application to and when. Make sure you watch your email after applying. Lastly, be prepared to apply with several companies. As an independent contractor, you can work for more than one company unless there is a conflict of interest.

I will be posting other opportunities so stay tuned, bookmark me if possible and feel free to ask questions or comments if you want. I have been operating a home based business for almost 2 years as well as doing research on legitimate work-at-home companies.

Good luck and keep me posted on your progress.

Love ya.
