Many people these days are looking for work they can do from home. Most of the ‘work from home’ jobs out there are scams, but thanks to companies like alpine access, west at home, people can find legit at home work in the customer service area. However, for many years there has been work from home opportunities as a ‘Phone Operator’ or ‘Fantasy Chat’, however, you want to put it. You just have to know where to look for them, and the Papillon Agency Inc. is a great place to start if you are interested in doing this. It was established in 1996 by a 17-year veteran of the industry, it has grown into very successful Alternative Staffing Agency. They hire for PBX Operator services. They do not just offer ‘phone operator” jobs, you can either apply for Customer care service personnel or data processing for different types of businesses and call centers nation wide. You can even apply to be a Model for trade shows. Many businesses come to them to get employees, from small businesses to large national and international businesses.
These jobs are available in most U.S. states and some are available for other countries (mainly Canada). Of course you will have to be 18 years and older to apply, that is kind of given. With most ‘fantasy chat’ jobs you only are paid for talk time, but with the Papillon Agency you get also get paid for down time. You should be able to work for a minimum of 25 hours per week, if not you may not be hired. They also have a zero tolerance for no-shows, so if you constantly late or calling in this is not the job for you. If applying for “phone operator’ or job that includes talking on the phone, you must have a dedicated land line, and a quite place to work. They also prefer you to call when applying for those kinds of jobs so they can hear you voice and see what your personality is like. The number is available on the website.
There is a mandatory pre-application you Must include your phone number, email address, and indicate what state or territory you live in. It will take up to 72 hours for you to get a reply, if approved they will call and interview you further (that is why your real number is needed).
The newest gig they are seeking applicants for is text chat operators. People doing it say it is like begin paid to hang out in a chat room online. Heck, if you hang out in chat rooms already why not get paid for it. However they note that this job is ‘intended’ to be non-adult (no “fantasy” chat), but they are not responsible for what people may text back to, it is a public forum, some of the replies and questions may be saucy. Therefore, if you are shy or overly sensitive to stuff like that, this is defiantly not he job for you. The pay for text operator can be up .06 cents per post, I know that sounds like its not worth it but the average amount of post is around 200 per hour (that would be 9.00 dollars and hour). They also offer bonuses on top of regular wages.
