Those in remote customer support jobs, what did you do/say to get the job? I am finding it extremely difficult to find a remote job that pays well and doesn't need much experience.

I just searched for a remote customer support job and found one during the pandemic. Worked out well and love it. I'm sure there are some out there it just takes time. Good luck!

I just took a CSR role for the same reasons and I start on Monday. I’m hoping I can advance quickly back into Marketing which was my field before. If not, recruiting. I’ve never been in CS but I have over 15 years experience in Sales, so I just answers a few transferable soft skill questions and got hired that day.

I’m really hoping it’s not as hellish as I’ve been seen some reviews be. 🙏🏼
