I’ve hit rock bottom on this. I want a basic ~$20+ per hour job where I answer calls, chats, emails and help people with whatever they need from home. I don’t mind working nights, long hours, overtime, holidays, I have basically nothing to do.

I have experience, I have technical skills, customer support skills, I have led 2 teams, switched to data entry, but the last close to 100 applications have led me nowhere. I imagined it would be easy to get into Amazon support or something like that, but dang, I am not getting anywhere. All I see are bait and switch jobs to sell insurance, or travel agency stuff, or benefits or some sort of MLM.

I got into CloudWorkers with the hopes it is some sort of legit cause I am in deep crap.

I have 2 - 3 weeks where I need to figure this one out, and this in the end of the second month looking for work.

Seriously, why is it this hard?

    There isn’t a single company in the country that’s going to pay you $20/hr to do something that entire offices are doing across the world for that same rate. You’re shooting way too high for that wage doing that kind of work

      What should I be aiming for? I’m simply going by what the job sites are stating.

        Those postings are put up by recrutiers for jobs that don’t exist to pad their rolodex in case they happen to get a overqualified candidate. There aren’t actually any $20/hr entry level remote jobs on the market.
