I recently received a question from reader pghm, who asked, “Is there any advice you can give me when applying to liveops so I can land this opportunity. Also how long do you think it takes to make 10.00 to 15.00 dollars an hour(weeks or months). How long is the process of applying to actually taking telephone calls? Any advice is greatly appreciated.” So, I’ve decided to make a post about tips for possibly increasing your chances to being accepted into Liveops, as well as answers to other questions about it.

From my experience, as well as what I have heard from others, the first tip to increasing your chances of being accepted into Liveops is to time your application. Now, during the summer, is NOT a good time to apply, as calls are usually slow at this time, and Liveops doesn’t really have a need for more workers. Instead, wait until fall, (usually around September) to send in your application. Right around this time, Liveops seems to usually to a mass hiring of many workers, so that they are well-equipped to take the huge increase of calls which occur during the holiday months. Other than this, pretty much the only other thing you can do is to try and do the best you can on the acceptance tests.

For the answer to your second question, it can take a while until you make 10-15/hour. When you start off working at Liveops, you usually do not get nearly as many calls as people who have been working for a longer period of time. The reason for this is that Liveops tries to base your call volume on your performance rating. (The better your rating, the more calls you get to take, and the more money you make.) As a newbie, the easiest way to get lots of calls to boost your rating is to work weekends as well as the “graveyard shift.” (Graveyard shift is from around 11pm-6am.) As there are less workers taking calls at these times, Liveops gives more calls to you. Also, remember to NEVER miss a commit. Whenever you miss a commit, your ratings drop, and it can take a long time to get them up again.

Lastly, the training process before you begin taking calls usually lasts about thirty days. (Before you begin training, MAKE SURE that you get one of the phones I have mentioned in previous posts ahead of time, as Liveops require it.) I know of many people who have not been able to complete training only because they weren’t able to find a phone in time. Be prepared.

I hope that I was able to answer all of your questions. If anyone has any other questions, or their own tips, don’t hesitate to post a comment below.

Good Luck!
