The job duties of a work from home customer service representative focus on providing support for patrons who contract a company with questions or support requests. In this position, you work on your home computer and use a telephone cell phone to field calls. Your responsibilities usually include answering inbound phone calls, though some virtual customer service reps also help customers troubleshoot via email or over a chat application. You assess the needs of each customer, answer relevant questions, and respond to any service requests. In these jobs, you follow employer or client guidelines and procedures when responding to issues.
