COVID-19 is causing a lot of flux in the workforce.
Some companies have sent workers home with little to no pay. Other companies, like Concentrix, are in URGENT NEED of people to work from home to manage their virus-related increased traffic.
I don’t know about you, but that sounds like the perfect opportunity to “make lemonade” during this trying time…
Here’s a quick overview of their openings:
At-A-Glance

Here’s what the company has to say about this opportunity:
“In the wake of coronavirus (COVID-19) our priority continues to be the health and well being of our staff and Businesses and for that we need you.
You might be asking yourself: Who is Concentrix?

Exactly what do we do? Instead of working in a traditional call center environment, our Concentrix Anywhere program hires sales & service agents who work from home.

These calls might involve billing questions, changes or cancellation of services, inquiries on the status of an order, troubleshooting services etc.
In order to provide that customer support and services to our brands, we need YOU!
