Pros of working for working solutions 

• Flexible hours

Hiring, work and pay

After you apply for a position, you normally get a response from someone in recruitment within a few weeks or less. Training is comprehensive and depends on what project you are starting.

It is important to keep your schedule clear during training as it is not flexible and you are expected to attend all training sessions or be dropped off the project.

As mentioned earlier, training is comprehensive, so missing one day would be like missing several days because a lot of information is taught in one day.

Most projects are paid by the minute or rounded up and paid per hour; so for example, you could be paid $.36/min but if you work more than 40 minutes, you get paid for the full hour. Remember though, this is only for “talk and wrap-up time” so, you’re only getting paid while you are on the phone taking calls.

Working solutions always pays on time. I would suggest though, that you enroll in direct deposit or enroll in one of their payroll cards. This just ensures that you get your money on time, rather than having to wait for a check in the mail.

Job requirements

There are four major steps you need to go through before becoming an agent with working solutions.

First you need to create a profile and sign up to become an agent. Your are suppose to do all of this on the computer you intent to use for the job.

This is required because during your application and evaluation time, the technical capabilities of your computer will be determined too.

After you have completed the application process and the technology scan, you can now take the assessment to see if you qualify.

The assessment includes written and verbal interview questions and aptitude tests. The phone interview can take up to two weeks to schedule after you pass your test.

If you pass the assessment and get approval to be an agent, you will be ask to watch an orientation video then check opportunities and apply to a program. You will get a paid rigorous training for about two weeks and begin work.

Bottom line 

If you are a hardworking committed person who enjoys helping people on the phone on a daily basis and wants to work from home, this maybe the job for you. You will need an up-to-date computer with fast internet, a quiet place you can work and a landline phone.
