Frequently asked questions

Are work-from-home data entry jobs real?

Some are, but data entry is one of the most common job scam disguises. Be wary of offers with high pay for simple work, no real interview, or requests to buy software, pay for training or deposit a check. Never pay a fee to apply.

What skills do data entry jobs need?

Accurate typing, attention to detail and comfort with spreadsheets and common office software. Postings often list a typing speed or software they use, so mention matching skills on your resume.

What job titles should I search for besides data entry?

Try data entry clerk, office clerk, administrative assistant, records clerk, order entry and processing clerk. Similar work is often listed under these titles.
