Now Hiring! Legitimate Work-At-Home Job - Full Time With Benefits!

Sedgwick Claims Management Services Inc. manages claims for major employers.  They currently have a few jobs that they hire home workers for.  The job opening that most of my work at home friends apply for is the Service Center Assistant.  As far as I know, this position entails taking claims information from the companies that Sedgwick contracts with.  It is not a customer service or sales position.  From what current representatives say, the absence of sales or customer service makes the job less stressful and more enjoyable. I believe it! 

Update:  I was called for an interview and actually hired, but then I was hired for my current full time job that I work outside the home so I had to decline the position with Sedgwick.  I did apply several times before I was contacted.  I also heard through the grapevine that Sedgwick has been taking many more clients and will be hiring more workers. 

Now is the time to Apply! Click Here! And, Yes, I really like Purple Font!  ;)
Application instructions are at the bottom of this blog post.

Please read on for more info on this great work from home job with benefits!

This is still true:

From what I understand, many applicants apply a few times and either receive a rejection letter or receive a call for an interview.  Sometimes applicants wait several weeks to several months before receiving a call.  Also, applicants with previous medical and/or claims experience are favored over those without this relevant experience.

Sedgwick offers full time employees a full benefits package. Not many work at home companies offer benefits let alone a full benefits package! I hear that the medical coverage is very good.  I don't work for them, so I don't know the specifics, but nowadays "very good medical" is hard to find! 

Employees in the Service Center Associate position say that hours range from daytime to evening and always include on or both weekend days.  You can find more information on the job listing below.

Here's a copy of the job listing:
