Working from home is quickly becoming the new normal for a lot of online retailers, and Amazon is no different. Amazon is hiring thousands of virtual workers for many phone and email-based customer service jobs.
Keep reading below to learn more about these jobs and what they’re looking for in a candidate.
Customer Service Representative
One of the most popular work from home jobs offers, Amazon’s virtual call centers have many opportunities. All you need to work as a customer service rep is a working phone line and high speed internet access.
These positions are usually on a temporary basis, but there is the possibility for ongoing employment if you meet their work metrics and attendance requirements. If you are bilingual or are a military veteran or spouse, Amazon gives extra consideration to your application.
Basic computer skills like knowing how chat services work, email programs, and other Microsoft Office apps will increase your chances of being hired.
Human Resources and Recruiting
For those of you with substantial work experience in human resources and recruiting, Amazon has work from home opportunities in these fields as well. To qualify for these positions you should have a bachelor’s degree in a related field, six years experience in a corporate work environment, and at least one year of experience in a manager role.
These job opportunities also offer the chance to travel, interact with a larger team, and could lead to other positions in a contractor’s role or investigator.

Location-based Jobs
Depending on which position you’re applying to, sometimes you will need to live in a certain state to qualify. For example, a current job opening requires that the candidate speak English and Spanish fluently, and live less than 50 miles from a physical customer service site.
