Question
Hi,

My name is Mitali. I am 12th (H.S.C) passed and have an experience of working with international Call Centres for U.S, U.K and also for Indian process, for four and a half years.

Now, I have my ten months old baby, hence I am thinking of doing some course (studies) which can help me to get work at home easily and for long term. I want to do some interesting work which has lots of scope in the future as well and I can continue it till my age of retirement.

I know there are lots of data entry works but maximum are fake and I don’t find it interesting. I want to do something like Medical transcription, learning different languages or something like this kind. But I am totally blank about what will help me the best to get good work and money in the future (has lots scope).

Also to clarify I am looking for a short term course so that I can start earning as soon as possible.

Please guide me with different career options.

I will be really obliged to get the best answer for my query.

Thanks and regards,
Mitali Desai.


Answer
Hello Mitali,

You said you are interested in doing something like medical transcription or learning different languages.  This is a good start for finding work you can do from home.  As you mentioned, there are a lot of scams out there.  So you have to be careful as you research.  But you can find a lot of reputable information online.  Just be sure to carefully check out the ones in which you are interested.

I would advise you to talk to people who actually make a living doing medical transcription and using different languages.  It is good to learn from people who are actually doing it.  Ask your family & friends if they know anyone who does this kind of work.  They may be able to refer you to someone who can help.
