It’s the ultimate couch potato gig.

Dish is hiring work-from-home customer experience representatives for its satellite TV and internet services.

You’ll need superb problem-solving skills to handle billing issues and technical troubleshooting, as well as excellent multi-tasking abilities to take back-to-back calls while recording customer information.

To apply for one of these jobs, you must live in Chesapeake, Virginia, or Greenville, North Carolina. Here’s why some work-from-home jobs are restricted by state.

The job requires flexible scheduling, including weekends, holiday and evenings.
