Work from Home Chat Jobs – HS Diploma + 6 Months’ Customer Service Experience – Paid Virtual Training $12-$14/Hr. – “Earning Potential $15-$17/Hr.” – $750 in Bonuses
KellyConnect is hiring more work from home Chat Reps. Many RRRebels have been hired at Kelly over the years, and reports overall have been positive. The last time they were hiring, the positions were full-time. But that may have changed; we’ll update here when we get more details. Reportedly not hiring from AK, CA, DC, HI, NJ, or the city of Seattle, WA. (With thanks to Kanika J. for the tip!)
The job listing mentions phones, but according to one of our FB members who works there, “You can get demoted to phones if you do not do well in chat, or if there are no chat shifts left they will give you the chance to move to phones.”
Pay
The job includes paid virtual training at $12-$14 an hour. In earlier listings, a potential of $15-$17/hr. after training was also mentioned, though that’s omitted in this listing. After 90 days you’re eligible for a $500 tenure bonus and a $250 performance bonus. You don’t need a tech background, though the official title of the role is Chat Technical Support Advisor. These openings are for their overnight shift.
