The work from home from Amazon is LEGIT. You do training at there call centre in the Airport business park and then when trained you do work from home. Very good company to work for. You get assessed in the first week and if you pass you carry on training for a couple of weeks. My missus works for amazon and its a genuine job and good potential working for them....and i know a few people that have worked for them in the call centre and now wor from home instead.

Agreed..

The Wife of a very good friend of Mine is working for them from home.

She loves it,and says they are fantastic to work for.

Might go for it Myself after the New Year. Not from home though.

Might be a while before that happens.

I was onto a friend of Mine that works at the Airport Business Park a few weeks ago,,and he told Me then they were due to let go the xmas staff that they hired.

So will have to let things settle first now before they take on people again.

Don't give up though..It does always say on their website that if they don't have a position at the moment that you should send in your details either way.

"I wanted to apply for a position that I saw here, but now it's not listed. May I still apply?
We regularly post new positions and remove positions that are no longer open or have been filled. It's ideal when you can apply for a specific position; it makes our process of reviewing applicants easier. However, you may apply without indicating a specific open position."

And here are some FAQ's ...

Hope this helps...And best of luck either way.

I see you have to be based in the Munster area for this, are there ever other regional opportunities?

Does anyone know if the people being hired to work from home over the xmas season will get offered full time permanent work from home.

I'd be surprised if they were kept on. Usually staff for the xmas season are just that..Season staff.

I think you'd have much better chance of being kept on if you were to get work from them at a different time of the year.

It's not to say you shouldn't try though.

There is a slight chance that they may keep some season staff on after xmas....Only one way to find out.

Thanks Mr Frisp. Do Amazon have many people working from home in Customer Service jobs throughout the whole year. I wonder if it is something Amazon would be looking to do more of in the future.

Well I do know that my friends wife is there well over a year now, and she loves doing it.

I'd say Amazon will look into a bit more of home Customer staff as it leads to a happy workplace.

If you want me to find out any more information just let me know and I'll ask for you.
