Many companies, like Amazon, are starting to post jobs they need filled for the upcoming holiday season. If you are even thinking about doing extra work for the holidays, now is the time to start checking for job openings. This week, Amazon has announced that they are hiring seasonal customer service representatives in anticipation of busy holiday shopping in the months ahead.

What Are The Requirements For These Jobs?

These jobs also require a webcam, an analog phone line for work only, and a dedicated, distraction free home work space ( if you have children, you may need to have someone available to watch them when you are working.)
A High School Diploma is a must, as well as being available to participate and complete training.
