Amazon work-from-home jobs: What you need to know before you apply 

As recently as March, Amazon listed 3,000 customer service positions paying $15 an hour as part of its spring staffing blitz.

These positions entail communicating with customers by phone, chat and email to resolve issues around late packages, damaged items, promotions, returns/refunds, and much more.

Typical hours are between 20 and 29 per week with the possibility of up to 60 hours per week during crunch times. Overtime is paid at time and a half.

A high school diploma and related experience are required.

In addition to virtual customer service positions, other remote positions like technical account manager, migration lead, front-end engineer, program manager and security consultant are also available.

If you want to work from home with Amazon, go to Amazon.jobs to review the open positions and apply today.

Scam alert: Beware of fake Amazon job postings! 

There’s a reason we’ve mentioned Amazon.jobs several times in this article. That’s because scammers have been using Amazon’s name to target people who are interested in work-from-home jobs.

If anyone calls you and directs you to a different website to apply for a remote job with Amazon, hang up the phone. It’s a scam!
