If someone was to ask me if I wanted a work at home Customer Service job, I’d say “hell no!”. Being on the phone all day? Nah…not me.
But if someone told me they had a work from home CHAT job – giving customer service to their customers through online chat – I’d be all over it. After all, live chat is the leading method of customer service these days.
And I know many of you would be all over this kind of job, too.
But here’s the problem: These jobs are hard to find. And when they do rear their beautiful little heads, they get snagged quickly.
Until now. I have scrounged up four chat jobs you can do from home with companies that seem to really value their employees. Let’s get to them.
