   Search Engine Evaluators assist search engine giants like Google and Bing to ensure the user results of searches are providing helpful information.

   Working at home as a non phone customer assistant using chat is such the ideal scenario. However, these types of jobs do not surface often. Most of what you will find doing online research for chat jobs will bring you to companies that barely pay anything and will end up just wasting your time. However, there are a few places you should learn more about. Arise is one place that has legit and high paying chat based jobs. Another, more ideal, site that offers chat work is called Needle.com.
