Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or business.
Position: Concierge
Education: No formal education required.
Skills: The ability to handle phone, email and online customer inquiries on a variety of topics and services.
Job outlook: Varies, but companies are once again hiring concierges as an employee perk, and with employees having to work longer hours, using a concierge to help with personal errands could be on the upswing.
Possible employers: VIPdesk and Potomac Concierge are two online businesses that employ virtual concierges. Try large area businesses, such as medical offices, to see if they are interested in offering your services as an employee benefit.
Preparation: Brush up on your online research skills. Make sure you have a reliable high-speed Internet service, a computer and cell phone or landline.
Get your foot in the door: Apply to one of the above mentioned companies. Contact companies with tiered packages geared to all levels of income. Even if the company doesn’t hire you, ask if you can leave flyers or brochures in the company lounge or lunchroom.
Until next time,
Sarah
