There is a giant telemarketing market existing in Canada, as well as in Vancouver. A lot of big companies and commercial institutions provide their clients’ information to local telemarketing companies and pay them to call their clients in order to persuade the existing clients to purchase more services from them, such as insurance, product guarantee extension and new product, etc. These companies constantly hire temporary employees to work in the afternoon, evening or on weekends, since their target clients intend to stay home during these schedules. If you work as telemarketer, you can flexibly choose to work after your class or work in the afternoon or evening. However, you can use your free time to earn extra money to your pocket.

Due to the multiple culture background of Canada, in order to work as telemarketer, you don’t have to be an English speaker. You can apply for the customer service job in the telemarketing company and use your mother tongue to serve the clients who speak the same language as you.

Most of these companies don’t demand you of a big diploma, they just expect you to speak your own language fluently enough to make the clients on the other end of the telephone can hear and understand you well. Besides, you don’t need any experience for applying this kind of job. You just have to speak your own language clearly and fluently in the interview to impress your interviewers a little bit. Afterwards, before you start to work, they will offer you some training course to help you understand the principles of this industry. Amazingly, you are also eligible to get paid while you spend the hours to receive their training course.
