U-Haul is hiring for Customer Service Phone Agents in the Live Verifications Department. The starting pay is $16/hr. They require customer service experience which is pretty much used at any job that you have worked previously. 

Equipment:
Equipment is not provided so you will have to provide your own computer and headset. They prefer you are hardwired to the internet but WiFi can be used as long as you have a good connection. 

Training:
Training is one week and they offer afternoon and evening training classes which are 4 hours each. 

You have to be 16 or older to apply for this position. They offer benefits for part time employees. 

This is a great first time work from home job because the hours are flexible and the pay is decent. It’s call center and chat so some days can be relaxed but weekends and holidays will ALWAYS be busy because that’s when people are moving and renting U-Haul trucks.  

Schedule:
You are allowed to pick your own schedule. The minimum hours worked per day is 5 but you can choose to work more hours. Holidays and weekends are required. 

Example schedule: I drop my son off at school at 8am and pick him up at 3:30pm. My daily work schedule was 9am-3pm. I selected Monday and Tuesday as my off days. You can pick any hours that work for you because they operate 24 hours per day.

Since the Pandemic started, a lot of people are now working from the comforts of their own homes. This has been a game changer. It saves on long commutes, people are able to spend more time with their families and it’s a very convenient and ideal work environment. 

Most Military families have to relocate every 2-5 years. Sometimes that means we have to leave our jobs and find one at the new duty station. Work from home jobs can be transferred to other states. Of course your not guaranteed to transfer your job just because it’s work from home. There is still a high possibility that you could depending on which state your moving to. 

Most of the work from home jobs I’ve seen do not offer employment to people that live in California but I’ve also saw some jobs list that they will hire a military spouse in California if the Service Members home of record is one of the states that they hire in.

I’ve gathered a small list of companies that are always hiring for work from home positions. I’ve worked at a few of these companies in the past and really enjoyed the work schedule, the pay and the relaxed job responsibilities. 

Some of these companies have open availability for call center positions on a regular basis. The more advanced positions fill faster. You can apply for jobs that are phone based and jobs that are email and chat based. 

If your like myself and prefer a job that does not require you to be on the phone all day then only apply for positions that interest you. Not all positions are call center/customer service positions. Do your research and apply for jobs that your interested in.

I will only link the companies career website and not actual positions. You will have to search to see which positions are available. I do recommend that you type in remote as one of the search options to narrow down the search on some of these websites.

Some of the positions have specific locations that they hire in. Some positions will only specify the locations that they are NOT hiring in. So if you live in Florida and the remote position says it’s based In Oregon but they do not hire in California, Alaska and Hawaii, then you can apply because your state would be one that they are willing to hire in.

Do not just assume you don’t qualify because the position says it’s based in Oregon. You do not need to live in the state that the position is advertised for, UNLESS the job post specified that they are only hiring local employees that reside in a specific state. Since these are virtual positions, most employers are flexible when it comes to your location. 

Some employers only hire locally because they want you to be able to come pick your computer equipment up. Most companies will ship the computer equipment to you.

If you have any questions on how to apply, leave a comment and I will answer. 

Alorica-Current link is for a full time position that pays $16.50/HR and they will provide the computer. If the link no longer works, then the positions have been filled. They offer various positions so go to their website and see what else is available. Some  positions, they require you to use your own personal computer and some positions will come with a computer included.

The Hartford-has positions that start at $17+/hr. provides equipment for most positions.

Wayfair-Various positions available. They provide the computer for you to use for work. 

Allstate- has positions that start at $16.75/hr. They provide the computer for you to use for work.

I've been working from home for almost a year now. I wanted my office to feel comfortable since I spend so much time in it. I would like to say that me being comfortable will assist with my productivity but we know that's not always true. LOL. I really enjoy working from the comforts of my own home and being able to have a relaxed work environment.

I originally started off working at the dinning room table because my desk in my room was used for storage. There was literally no room for me to work at all. I cleaned my desk and organized it. Then I decided to purchase a few desk organization items, a memory foam mousepad, keyboard rest pad, seat cushion, foot cushion and a few other items. Memory foam works really well. I also get up and walk around a lot as well so I never feel tired or tense from sitting for extended period of times.

I've created an amazon list of items that I have purchased and recommend. I hope these items help make your work from home journey a little bit smoother. Please share links for items that you use in your work from home office as well!
