One of the job opportunities seniors should give some consideration to is doing telecommuting or telemarketing from home. You can do this sort of thing on a temporary or part time basis.
Plus, working from home has many advantages. Freedom and economy are two things I can appreciate, right off the bat. With the price of gas the way it is, who wants to drive all over creation, just to make a few extra bucks?
Doing telemarketing from home, for most people, is a part time job. There are all kinds of companies out there that will provide you with job opportunities. Most of them want you to have a computer and a fast cable hook up. You will need to get an extra telephone line and a headset.
You will be working as an independent contractor, in most cases. There a many kinds of telecommuting jobs out there. Most likely, you will do some kind of customer service. On the other hand, there are some sales positions also. In fact, if you have a special technical skill, you can most likely utilize it with many telemarketing companies.
Being successful in telemarketing from your home requires a strong sense of self-discipline. Why? Mainly because you need to keep a strong focus on your work. You can't let the normal distractions of a home environment hinder you.
Secondly, being a good telemarketer, requires you to be strong in "delivery" and product knowledge. Remember, you are representing a business entity. In fact you are getting paid to represent this company in a reliable professional manner.
It doesn't matter if you are doing customer service or sales work. You approach to either is the same. You need a strong positive telephone presentation and excellent product knowledge.
Your rewards are a steady paycheck and you are working at your own pace out of your home. Most likely, this work will be done on a part-time basis, thus; allowing you the time to attend to the other interests in your life.
Using telemarketing as a way to get some extra income is not a bad idea. There is a huge demand nation wide by corporations. The good news is more telemarketing businesses are going after work from home telemarketers, which means lots of senior job opportunities.
