3. How should someone new to the workforce get a J-O-B like yours? |

Look around, see what kinds of communication you have with your supervisors. If they don't really respond, you're not going to be all that happy.

skills do you think a person should have if they want to pursue a
position like yours? Please be specific and explain why (e.g., social
skills, organization skills, technical skills)
Very organized. You have to be able to work from home and work the hours needed, even if it means missing out on fun events to get the hours in. You need to know your way around a computer, and being able to not be social, even if you want to be, is important too.

You should have some, yes.
|
|
What advice would you give to someone who was about to start work in your position/ line of work?
Really think about it. Are you dedicated? Can you work the hours for little pay? Are you willing to have to do a long tax form at the end of the year because you had no taxes taken out? Don't necessarily take this on full-time right off. You might find it a bit mundane.
