Avoid the Work At Home Scams With Real Jobs: Alpine Access

This article showed up on this morning's MSN.com homepage. It is a quick review of many of the posts that I have made on this blog. I have profiled each of the four employers she lists in the first part of the article.agentLogo.gif

Since it has been a while since those original posts I thought I would profile all four again. I will start with Alpine Access who even had an employee answering questions through my blog's comment sections. I will apply for a job with this company and post about the process here. I am looking for additional income so I am approaching it as you would.

First off, I like to read everything that is available on their web site and not just the portions that apply to a work at home agent. I like to find out what the company does, what it offers to its customers, and about their history. If they have an FAQ section, which Apline Access does I like to start there. Their FAQ section is extremely helpful as they answer many of the questions you and I will have.

Alpine Access also lists their agent requirements so you know what equipment, work environment and experience and skills you will need. Click here to see what you will need.

The pre-application process is simple. They basically need your name and contact info and then ask you questions about the requirements listed in the link above. The next step, which was immediate, was an email inviting me to move to the next level in the application process. You are given a username and password with which to access their future employee web page.

You are then directed to access their pre-interview screening page. The first item you need to acknowledge is this:

Alpine Access requires all agents to call into a 303 or 720 area code phone number for all work shifts. It is recommended that you obtain an unlimited long distance calling service if you are not located in the metro Denver area. Please acknowledge your understanding that Alpine Access will not reimburse womanWriting2.jpgfor any long distance or toll charges.

Frankly, this is what stopped me from continuing last time I applied. I make all long-distance calls through my cell phone so I would have had to pay for a service to include unlimited long distance on my phone and I wasn't willing to incur that expense. Now, I will investigate the different options I have available here and see what the costs would be. That will help me decide if it is worth it to me.

Besides questions about availability, experience and your computer operating system you are also asked questions to estimate your basic understanding of how to use your computer.

After submitting the information a note comes up saying I should hear back from them within 2 business days. Check back to learn more about this process.

Marta,

I wrote you on another topic which you will receive but just an added not here about Alpine....they tell you what you need except they leave OUT that you need to be a "joggler", lol. Able to work with 15 or even 20 windows at the same time. And they also told me they couldn't quarantee any certain amount of hours which means it could be as low as 5 hours a week. That sure doesn't work for me.

Good luck and yes let us know.

marta - the Long Distance requirement, to me, isn't so much a requirement as it is a suggestion. Almost all of the major cities we have agents in use local numbers that Alpine provides (i.e. we have some local numbers in Utah). The ULD req't is more to cover the smaller areas we don't have primary access numbers for and also for those rare occurrences when a primary number has issues (we have several backups though)
