IT Careers from Home
With the information age starting to take hold and effect the way we work more new jobs are becoming available. When we think of IT many of us think solely of computers. However IT (or Information Technology) has much broader implications.

Data Entry
Data entry clerks usually work in an office but with broadband services and computer supplies becoming more accessible people are also starting to do this job working from home. There are no specific entry requirements needed to start working as a data entry clerk. A good working knowledge of computers and software programs is helpful as well as a high 
typing speed. Depending on data to be inputted you may need to be familiar with word processing, spreadsheet or database programs. Data entry clerks work on databases and records of information. You may be adding new data or retrieving and updating previous entries. Some data entry clerks work from paper records and reports, processing them into data to be stored elsewhere.

Surveys and Research Work
With the rise of the information age many businesses are in need of up to date information. Consumer reports and surveys provide businesses with important market research which is used to further develop products and services to suit the changing needs of customers. Many people have taken advantage of this lucrative opportunity by participating in and conducting surveys that in turn earn them a salary. Surveys can be participated in over the phone, by post and online. Some companies will request individuals to complete surveys that are sent in the post. This is simple to do from home, all you need to do is complete the survey and return it. If you register with companies who need research you may be able to 
participate in surveys over the phone. Online there are numerous opportunities to complete surveys that once completed can be submitted online. With a little training you may also be able to start creating your own surveys for others to complete. For more information visit the Surveys Page.

Telemarketing involves canvassing and cold calling potential customers to draw their attention to new products. All you need is a phone and a computer with access to the internet to start a new career from home.
