Got Leadership and Customer Service Skills? Dyson Is Looking for You

I have to admit I am a huge fan of Dyson vacuum cleaners, despite the high price — and yeah, I’m at that age when buying a new vacuum is exciting…

But what might be a little more exciting for someone with excellent customer service and leadership skills is the ability to put them to use in a work-from-home setting.

Dyson is looking to fill a leadership role with many responsibilities, from developing and leading a team of customer service agents to assisting with the recruiting and training of new candidates and ensuring the company is hiring the best talent available.

The ideal candidate must have a minimum of three years’ experience in a leadership role and be available to work a flexible schedule, including evenings and weekends.
