 When my son Jake announced he was getting a campus job, I never imagined it would involve telemarketing.
I was excited by his enthusiasm for his first paid position, but I cringed at the thought of my kid calling people at home to beg for money.
Jake saw it another way: a chance to build his confidence by chit-chatting with strangers before asking them to contribute. An opportunity to think and respond quickly to turn NO into YES----or to encourage bigger donations by getting the guy or girl on the other end to reminisce about their time on campus.

 In 2008 Desreen Wilburgh was a medical assistant, working nine-to-five, exhausted, taking important time away from family. That year, Desreen welcomed a sweet, little girl who required specialized attention and care. Desreen felt a constant stress for time and a nagging work/life imbalance. Am I spending enough quality time with my daughter? Is this job worth all the hassle and the commute? Am I getting enough satisfaction from my work- and my home life?The questions swirled around Desreen's mind... and then she saw an ad on Facebook about Arise Virtual Solutions, and how they provide a platform to connect work-at-home customer service representatives running small call center businesses with clients such as Carnival and other Fortune 500 companies.
