I wanted to share that my job is hiring. It's a work-from-home job It is a call center environment, but it's not as crazy busy & the customers are generally pretty nice! (I know not the best, but it's something & they take their time to teach you!) They send you all of the equipment & make sure that you are set up & ready to go before training. Training is done on camera, but after that, we don't have to turn on our cameras even for meetings. I can honestly say I love my job!❤️
