What are live chat jobs?

Live chat jobs focus on customer service and support. In this role, you assist people with technical issues, provide remote guidance and instructions, and work online from home or a call center to answer questions in a virtual environment. Many live chat jobs focus on following a flowchart of instructions to help identify and resolve known issues. If that fails, you usually contact a manager to get information on the best way to resolve a problem. Many live chat jobs also include verifying customer information, processing payments and refunds, and keeping track of reported issues. Some companies offer live chat 24/7, so you may be asked to work nights, weekends, or holidays as needed.
