Preferred: At least one technical or customer service certification (e.g., A+, CompTIA) if other qualifications are limited.

Personal Attributes:

  • Motivated and eager to learn.
  • Comfortable following processes without deviation.
  • Positive attitude and a team player.

Hours & Location:

  • 100% Remote ( Work from Home). You must reside in a state where we are hiring (confirm on application, we will verify during onboarding should we move forward with you as a candidate).
  • Dedicated work space, free from distractions and background noise.
  • Hours: 32–40 hours/week, 1st or 2nd shift, 5 days/week (weekends required after training).
  • Training: 2–3 weeks, Monday–Friday, training is conducted on the 1st shift.
  • Netfor operates 247, so flexibility is key!

Computer Requirements: You must own a Windows desktop or laptop (Mac, Chromebooks, tablets, etc., are not compatible) with:

  • Operating System: Windows 10 or higher.
  • RAM: 8GB or higher. 16GB or higher preferred
  • Processor: Intel i5 9500, Ryzen 3 3100, or better.
