Find a Data Entry Company and Work From Home

Most people would love to work from home. You save money on gas, baby sitting charges, lunch breaks and driving time. You can make a nice living working from home. Especially considering the money that you will save in the process. It's worth submitting your resume to a few data entry companies if you are currently unemployed but I would not rely on this and I wouldn't quit your job in hopes of getting a data entry position. The reason that I say this is because of the fact that there is a high demand for these positions. This means that people are not quitting these jobs, which makes them hard to find. The best thing that you can do is find a data entry job around your hometown. I would do a search for data entry in your city and state. You can also look them up in the yellow pages.

If you find a data entry company in your hometown I would go in and ask if they are accepting applications or hiring at that time. Bring in a professional resume and fill out an application. If they are going to consider hiring you, they will call you back and set up a testing date. You will have to go into the company and past a data entry test. I can type about 85 WPM and I couldn't pass the data entry test. This is because it's half numbers as well as letters. This means that you have to be familiar with a 10 key calculator and you need to be fast at it. I would suggest practicing for long periods of time before you take the test. They will test you the minimum passing score on the test. You can download different keystroke tests for data entry.

You will also need to have a desktop computer which the company may or may not supply for you. Sometimes they will give you a computer and take the money out of your paycheck every month for the computer. You will also need a reliable internet connection. Whether or not you get to work relies completely on if the internet is working correctly or not. If you are experiencing a lot of problems I would highly suggest disconnecting your modem for several minutes. Problems can occur, but not very often.
