I’m forty years old but my typing skills are still improving. The older you get, the harder it becomes for you to gain employment. It becomes more and more difficult to convince a prospective employer to hire you based on your interview skills alone. It doesn’t seem to matter how fat your resume is or how compelling your references are, they judge you immediately, based on how many lines you have on your face. It is this sort of prejudice in the workplace that led me to begin my data entry business. Old typists never die, they just become their own boss and work from home!

The reason I decided to base my data entry job at home was to take advantage of the excellent working conditions here. I have a comfortable chair in front of my computer and the room is usually kept at a reasonable temperature. I can get my work done and feel safe and secure in my home environment. As anyone who has done it knows, data entry can be very boring so it’s important to make sure your home office is set up correctly to induce good performance. I am self-employed so it’s vital for me to pay myself on time to avoid staff problems.

If I was ever thinking about hiring an apprentice in my data entry enterprise, I would have to think long and hard about the job description I would use in the advertisement. The person I want would have to have good typing skills, obviously, and would be good at following instructions and completing set tasks on time. A certain amount of ambition would be essential as would a desire to work from home. I’d love to be in a position where I could offer someone a data entry job but at the moment that is not the case.

The last thing I’d ever want to do is blow my own trumpet but I think I am probably the ideal employee. The fact I am also the employer makes life a hell of a lot easier for me. I tend to perform all of my data entry tasks on or before schedule and I keep my workspace tidy and clean at all times. I am well organised and nicely presented, as well as being punctual and hard working. If I wasn’t my own boss I’d probably be forced to give myself a raise. I think I could pass the criteria in any data entry job description with flying colours.

I love reading through the ‘positions vacant’ section of the classifieds in my local newspaper, don’t you? I particularly like reading the job descriptions of the data entry posts. I always avoid applying for any jobs where the ad stipulates that applicants need to be enthusiastic or bubbly. I’m neither of those things. My fear of the unknown has always shielded me from trying new things and stepping beyond the limits of my comfort zone. I enter data for a living because I’m comfortable doing that. Why the hell should I pretend to be enthusiastic about it?

Do you know anyone looking for a reliable data entry operator based in Australia? If you do, don’t bother telling me. I’m already working 24/7 typing this online wealth of wisdom. I’m sure I’d be able to pass all of the essential criteria for the post but what’s the point? I won’t truly fit the job description because, unfortunately, they broke the mould after I was created. If you’re ever in trouble, you’ll find me wherever there is data that needs to be entered. They call me the Data Entry Avenger! (no they don’t).
