“I bring home $1,500 a week booking hotel reservations!”
“Sixteen years ago, after I had my fifth child, I returned to work in the hospitality and tourism industry. But the company I was working for was making staffing cuts, and I was laid off. I started looking for another job where I could do the same type of work but was able to work from home and have flexibility to care for my family. When I learned that Working Solutions (WorkingSolutions.com) was hiring agents for an online hotel company, I filled out an application online, and I was hired after completing an interview and virtual training.
“My responsibilities as an agent couldn’t be easier or more rewarding. When I’m ready to start my day, I simply log on to the Working Solutions platform, take calls from customers and help them book their hotel reservations. After a few years of doing this, I was promoted, and now I also supervise, train and coach other agents who work for a corporate travel division of another company.
“I typically work between 60 and 70 hours a week, but you can work as little as 25 hours. I love that I can work any time of the day and from anywhere. Once, our family rented a beach house for a month, and I was able to work around my own schedule. I get paid per talk minute, and I earn about $1,500 a week—money that pays the bills and allows our family to travel. Instead of working for my life, my life works for me—it’s amazing!”
