I currently work for this corporation that does outsourcing for a number of companies and provide customer service, sales and technical support to their customer base. A few weeks ago, I was assigned to a project that I was previously assigned to and know how to do quite well. During the previous weeks, I was excited to learn about the incentives and bonuses I'd be receiving for working certain hours on certain days throughout the week. I worked over 72 hours in one week generating close to $1000 in that one week. I was excited to learn that I would be extended a new permanent project after this project ended if I proved to be an exemplary employee. I worked as much as I could, as accurately as I could and as hard as I could to maintain my performance and schedule adherence in comparison to my co-workers and succeeded in keeping it over 100%. It's been about a week and I emailed HR a few days ago to receive no response as of yet, but I am a bit anxious to know whether I am one of the few that will be selected for the permanent project. I am growing weary and hope that they select me soon. I am however, still looking for further employment daily and of course generating cash through a ptc, paid emails, survey sites and music reviewing, but this definitely will not suffice in the upcoming weeks. Anyone have any luck with full time work at home positions in call centers or the like? All feedback welcome.

Wow...congrats! I hope you have heard something by now about your job. I work outside the home so I have not had experience with that kind of work but it sounds like you know what your doing with it. I hope that everything goes well and that you have gotten that position. It sounds like you deserve it.

Aww well that's awfully sweet of you to say! And yes I completed training for my new project last night, successfully completing all assessments and now I am awaiting my project start date! I am so anxious, yet so nervous because a lot of information was covered during my training that I wasn't able to try hands-on myself within the training environment. Also, since it is a work-at-home position, there will be no coaching really, I am just thrown out there to learn how to work the software on my own. That kind of really sucks, but once I get it, I got it! Also, this project involves more upselling and sales than my previous projects and I'm not really good at selling. I hope I develop some new skills to be able to maintain my work performance. As a "Listening Care Representative" (new position name).. I will have to know quite a bit about product information.
Thanks for commenting!! And Happy Memorial Day!!

I certainly hope that you get an answer about the permanent project soon because that would be the best way for you to have income that you need to have. As far as full-time work at home positions, I don't know anything about those although I have to admit that I would really like to be able to find something like that at the end of this summer because this coming school year is going to be the first time that both of my children are in school. My oldest will be in 4th grade and my little one will be in kindergarten.

Awww that is great! I have a 3 year old myself and she is going to start school next year as well and I will definitely need to have everything together by then! I wish you luck in your search and hopefully if I or you come across anything, we will let each other know!
Thanks for sharing!!

i had the opportunity to work in a call center for a short while and all i can say is that nothing is certain in this field of work. call centers here in my country hire and train hundreds of new employees and lay them off after without any second thought if performance level is too low. its very depressing:(

Wow that sounds pretty cool. Here good jobs are quite scarce even with a strong educational background. I was working on my 3rd degree before I decided to put school on hold for awhile. I am now looking for steady employment so that I may provide for my daughter and build a stronger household. I had to actually go online to even generate any income for myself because many jobs here are not hiring and those that are claim me to be "overqualified" for many of the positions available. I thank God everyday and know that I am blessed to had found such a great opportunity working online at my own pace for such a great company!
