I’ve hit rock bottom on this. I want a basic ~$20+ per hour job where I answer calls, chats, emails and help people with whatever they need from home. I don’t mind working nights, long hours, overtime, holidays, I have basically nothing to do.
I have experience, I have technical skills, customer support skills, I have led 2 teams, switched to data entry, but the last close to 100 applications have led me nowhere. I imagined it would be easy to get into Amazon support or something like that, but dang, I am not getting anywhere. All I see are bait and switch jobs to sell insurance, or travel agency stuff, or benefits or some sort of MLM.
I got into CloudWorkers with the hopes it is some sort of legit cause I am in deep crap.
I have 2 - 3 weeks where I need to figure this one out, and this in the end of the second month looking for work.
Seriously, why is it this hard?

Those sorts of jobs are filled from low-wage countries.

Ngl reading “basic $20+ per hour job” was kinda funny

$20 a day is 1.5x minimum wage in Brazil. And we aren’t even that poor.

So disheartened by this. But thanks.

Try charging more so people will take you more seriously. That works surprisingly well a lot of the time.

Don’t be disheartened, take what was said in the second part of the response and apply it. Answer those questions and refine your search based on the answers.

and they are priced worse, like $300-500 a month
