If you're new to the telecommuting job search; you probably have a lot of questions about what types of positions you can apply for. There are several kinds of jobs that are frequently being offered as a telecommuting position by several companies. Here are some of the options you may find when browsing the job boards:
Customer Service Agent
This is the most popular and easier to find jobs online. There are several companies that hire people to work from home providing customer service for several clients. You could be using the telephone, live chat or even email correspondence to provide the service. The level of experience you need for this position depends on the company's requirements, but they can vary from no experience to a couple years of experience. Each website should say what they have for that requirement.
Transcription
Transcription is typing up audio content into a word document. There are three types of transcription positions that you might encounter in your job search. The types are:
General - You would type up materials from focus groups, financial meetings, and presentations. This type of telecommuting position doesn't require a lot of experience to do. Companies that hire for this position usually look for ability to type fast, ability to listen, and take direction well.
Legal - This is where you would be transcribing legal content for lawyer's offices. This type of transcription usually requires one to have at least a year experience working in the lawyer's office, so that they are familiar with the legal terms.
Medical - You would be transcribing Doctor's notes and files that are sometimes sent to insurance companies. This is the harder type of transcription to land. This type usually requires medical transcription training and some experience working in the field. The companies will not pay for your schooling, so you'll have to pay your own way.
Scoping
A scopist works with a court reporter. Basically you would receive the rough data from the court reporter and clean it up for them. You would do the research, type up the correct information, change the formatting and look for any questionable items the rough data may contain. The court reporter would then proofread your work to be sure everything is correctly in place. This kind of job would require you to have a scopist training under your belt and the necessary equipment needed to do your job. This can be costly.
Social Media Manager
Social Media Managers are people whose job is to scour all social networks, communicate with the target audience of a company and respond to any negative comments being published within these networks. Basically, your primary duty is to socialize with other people important to the company you work for.
You would need to have a good understanding of most of the social networks online and continually research the available tools that pop up frequently to make social networking easier for those who participate. Most companies that hire for this position aren't necessarily looking for on the job experience; they will oftentimes hire based on your knowledge and experience using them in your personal life. This list is only a portion of what's available online today for telecommuters. More types of positions will follow in an upcoming article.
