What to Expect When Doing Data Entry, Transcription, Construction and Sales Jobs

If you are planning on getting a data entry job and you have actually found a legit job, hope to be there for a long period of time. The people who find these jobs rarely quit or get fired. These people work at home and love it. They make good money if they can type fast. Expect to save on gas money, baby sitting and other expenses you could incur if you were driving to and from home. Data entry jobs will probably require a typing test which will most likely test your keystrokes within a certain amount of time. You can download different things online to practice before you take your test.

Transcription jobs are somewhat difficult to do. Most of these companies require the file back as soon as you finish, which is called rush transcription. In order to make at least $9.00 an hour you will have to listen well and type fast. Sometimes you will get people with foreign accents and there's nothing you can do. Some files will be easier and clear. Each call is different and for a four minute audio file expect to take at least twenty minutes or so. Some of these companies may be a little strict and most of them don't hire people who are new to the field. You will definitely need a foot pedal which will save you half of the time. You might work for a company which has periods of busy times and slow times as well. You might be out of work for several weeks at these times.

Concrete, Construction, and Roofing jobs are somewhat unpredictable. It's hard to tell if it will rain next week on a certain day. It's hard to know how much money you will make next month. It could rain once in the afternoon for five minutes or it could rain for two weeks straight. If you need something that is dependable I would suggest not going with one of these jobs unless they offer you some other type of work when the weather isn't the best. You could also pick up a part time job from home to keep you busy during these unfortunately rainy days.
