Hey everyone this is my first post everyone, currently at carmax for training as a sales associate and customer service on phone isnt much for me or in person, last job I worked was at a company under apple for 3 years and had the role of being a mentor to new hires and a customer service representative under 3 different areas and also learned mac to, but I love working tech, but preferably now I just want something in the background like a chat support or data entry job remotely, will chat to.

You’ve got solid credentials, like: Apple, mentoring, multi-channel support. Chat support and data entry should absolutely be on the table. I had a friend who also came from Apple retail and was burned out from customer-facing roles. She ended up landing a remote QA support role through Remotive and hasn’t looked back because she finally gets to work in sweatpants and have lunch at home. Have you looked at specialized remote sites like Support Driven or Remotive?

Oh and sorry its jumbled altogether, if I could explain it in person or dm I would, but thank you for the words so far.

I would try networking and gathering referrals. There is a job referral bowl you could try posting in if you haven't already. You might be able to get some leads in there.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started.
