Devoted to WAHMs -Work at Home Moms

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.

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 for 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.
