Why do many enterprises recruit staff for remote work?
In fact, it is not the visibility of the work created by the employee at the workplace that matters to any enterprise and boss, but the result of labor. Many activities do not require a permanent presence at the table or at the computer. Moreover, there are such specialties that require personal contact with a potential client, and you can visit the office no more than once a week.

Who can work remotely?
Below we will talk about those who may be interested in remote work at home via the Internet. The reviews indicate that if you have suitable working conditions at home, then you can safely engage in some “white” activities, the list of which is given below.
Accountant
If you have a special education and good work experience, then you can quite successfully keep records of both one enterprise and several. How is such remote work at home paid for over the Internet? The reviews suggest that working as an accountant in this way, you can earn no less than what a specialist earns with the usual five-day schedule in the office.
Copywriter, freelance journalist
Such work does not require a permanent stay in the office. Ready material is expected from the specialist, after which, if accepted, you can get a calculation for your work.
Headhunter
This fashionable word is called today people who participate in the selection of personnel. Headhunters are not looking for ordinary specialists, but top managers and narrow-profile professionals. Recruiters carefully study resumes on the Internet and close vacancies. How does this happen? Many people, even with highly paid jobs, post their jobs on the Internet.Thus, they keep the employer in suspense that he may lose a valuable shot, and, in addition, they are interested in knowing their place in the labor market. Headhunters look for such pros and offer them more favorable working conditions. If a person agrees to an interview, the employer remains satisfied with the results and takes him to work, then the vacancy is considered closed. The headhunter receives a decent reward for this. How is such remote work paid? Reviews say that everything depends on the headhunter himself. The more vacancies he closes, the greater will be his reward. Salary can reach from five to fifty thousand rubles per month.
Call center operator
Another option for earning, allowing you not to leave the house, is the operator. Remote work, reviews of which are mostly positive, does not require live communication with people. Everything happens exclusively by telephone or in online chat via the Internet. You need a constant opportunity to answer a phone call or have a dialogue in a window on a site.
To become an operator, you need to take a short training course. It includes the study of information, which subsequently will need to consult or educate clients. In addition, for such a profession it is necessary to have a pleasant voice, the absence of pronounced speech defects, and the latter should be well-posed and competent. If the enterprise is large, employees are also tested for stress resistance, sociability, the ability not to lose face (even if it is not visible) even with the most difficult questions of clients. Banks and other well-known suppliers of goods and services can record operator conversations with customers in order to subsequently study the quality of work and improve it if necessary. Such work will bring you from ten to twenty thousand rubles a month.
Work as a sales manager
Little-known, recently opened and market-less enterprises often start their business by looking for new customers through phone calls. For this, an employee is selected who will ring the customer base and, communicating, offer services or goods. Such work is suitable for people who can sell. How do you know if such fishing is right for you? You may have come across a marketing trick called sell me a pen. Its essence is to check how inventively a person can approach the sale of such an ordinary object as a pen. If you can convince anyone to buy a pen from you, you may also be able to convince someone to buy a washing machine or a copy machine from the company you work for. The payment of a customer acquisition manager depends on the volume of transactions. Therefore, if in a month you talked to hundreds of customers, offering to buy goods from you, and they didn’t buy anything from you, then most likely you will not earn anything. If half of the forty customers will purchase the desired products from you, then you will receive a percentage of sales. Does it bring income and can I say that this is real work? Reviews say that if you are a born seller, you can earn decent money. If you do not have a commercial vein and the gift of persuasion, then you should not even try to try yourself in the role of a sales manager.
Remote work on the Internet
The feedback of those working remotely varies. Do not confuse the responses of real people with those who want to cash in on your interest. Today, there are many offers about working on the Internet. This is the promotion of communities and groups on social networks, the development and support of sites. People working in such areas are necessary, and their place of work is not a stuffy office, but unlimited Internet spaces.How to pay remotely via the Internet? Reviews indicate that specialists can receive from ten to fifty thousand rubles a month, depending on the volume of completed orders and qualifications. It is one thing if you are looking for funny pictures and post them in the community, and another if you are developing the site of a large economic company.
Can I work remotely in a bank?
Some banks hire professionals who work remotely. Employee reviews indicate that most often this happens if the bank decides to open a new branch in the city or if a representative is needed where there is no branch office. Such an employee represents the interests of the bank, calls out potential customers, offers loans or other products. To work in a bank, you need to have an economic higher or secondary education. The banking system involves constant work with documents, cash and cashless payments, cards, currency. Ignorance of the general fundamentals of the economy will not allow you to work successfully.
How profitable can remote work at the bank be? The reviews of real people who have already tried this way of making money speak in favor of working with the bank in this way. You are not tied to one workplace, you are looking for customers yourself, thereby having the opportunity to increase your income. But again, if you do not have the skills to sell goods, you will not earn much.
Remote work outside the Internet
You can work remotely not only on the Internet, but also with very real goods and with live people. An example of such work is a representative in a cosmetics company. Such work is well suited for women, as cosmetic stores offer a feminine product. But here there are some limitations, so this way of earning is not suitable for everyone.
Firstly, you need to be charming and charismatic, because sometimes you can "catch" a client literally on the street. Secondly, you need to look dignified and well-groomed, especially if you sell cosmetics for women. What makes this job good is that the customer market can grow indefinitely. From some cosmetic products it’s easy enough to reorient, having the necessary qualities, to others. Earnings are a percentage of sales and, in addition, you can purchase cosmetics for yourself and your loved ones at low prices.
Another example of remote work is a profession like a realtor. A realtor has access to a database of apartments for sale or for rent, a visit to the office is not necessary. But what is really necessary is communication with customers. It is advisable for a realtor to have his own car in order to easily get from one edge of the city to another. Most often, earnings are not a fixed amount, but a percentage of the object sold or leased. Again, this work is suitable for people who can persuade and sell.
Benefits of Remote Work
Such work is good for those people who can not give all their time to stay in the office. In this category are people with disabilities, young mothers, those who simply do not want to work in four walls with strangers to him. You must admit that friendships with the team are not always built up, and if such daily communication could be avoided, most would gladly refuse conversations with “brothers in the shop”.
Most office workers spend a lot of money on clothes by the dress code, and besides, for girls it’s the cost of makeup, hairstyles, manicures. In addition, many people need to look solid. Sometimes work requires the purchase of not only an expensive suit or watch, but also a personal car.
Also think about how much you can save if you do not spend daily money on public transport.In addition, lunch in the dining room or in a cafe near work will cost you significantly more than a similar home-made lunch. If you have children and no one to leave them with, then there is no better option than remote work.
Reviews of real people testify in favor of this way of making money. You will save a significant part of the income from your work, you will be able to spend more time with friends and relatives, there is no need to adapt to the team and the chef’s mood. Add the time spent here to get to work and back, and you will realize that remote work is many times better than the usual office work for us.
Cons of remote work
One of the minuses of remote work is the inability to receive high earnings. So, for example, middle and senior managers cannot work remotely, because their presence is necessary to control the process. Accordingly, it is believed that low-class specialists can work remotely.
What other disadvantages does remote work have? Testimonials indicate that not everyone considers spending on office clothes “production costs”. So, many women and girls assert themselves daily by dressing and dyeing themselves at work in an office, where they have the opportunity to communicate with colleagues - representatives of the opposite sex - and feel welcome. In fact, if you are not married yet, it is much more difficult to get to know someone through the Internet than to meet a soul mate in a crowded building or industrial building.
So, if you are dreaming about a career, you like working with people, having subordinates, seeing the production process and controlling it literally “with your own hands”, then remote work is not suitable for you.
Real reviews of extroverts, sociable people and those who are called the soul of the company also indicate that working at home has many disadvantages. This is the inability to chat cute with colleagues during the day, show off in a new suit and receive compliments, as well as make interesting acquaintances.
Summarizing
Work at home is not a myth or something ephemeral, but a completely legal way of making money. You can work both through the Internet, and by phone or by communicating directly with live people. Why do enterprises hire employees for remote work?
This allows you to save on renting offices, warehouses, office equipment. Such an employee can also attract customers, sell both goods and services, only by doing this from the walls of his house - this is what modern remote work at home means.
The reviews indicate, however, that such activities are not only related to the use of modern technologies. The work of the seller-consultant is still relevant (especially with regard to women's cosmetics and perfumes), as well as realtors, sales managers. The indisputable advantage of this work is the opportunity to save on travel, lunch, office "bows" and expensive accessories. If you want to spend more time with relatives, children or for other reasons, do not want to leave home for a long time, then you should consider working options remotely. Salaries can range from ten to fifty thousand rubles a month, depending on your initial skills and abilities, or the volume of goods and services sold. If you want to show off in new office clothes, you can’t imagine your life without communicating with colleagues, you dream about career growth, then such work will not suit you.
