The typing test

Many typing jobs start with a short online test. You type a sample text or a short audio clip, and the employer checks your speed and your accuracy. Accuracy usually matters more than speed, so take your time, read your work once more and fix small mistakes before you submit.

Practice on a free typing site for a few days before you apply. Even ten minutes a day makes a clear difference in your words per minute.

What to prepare

Many entry-level typing jobs do not ask for a resume at all. If one does, a short page is enough. Focus on anything that shows you are careful, reliable and good with a computer.

• Mention your typing speed in words per minute
• List programs you know, such as Word, Google Docs or Excel
• Add any office, school or volunteer work where you handled paperwork
• Say which hours of the day you are available

How to spot fake listings

Work-from-home typing jobs are popular, which also attracts scammers. Protect yourself with these rules:

• Real employers never ask you to pay for training, software or a starter kit
• Never cash a check and send part of the money back
• Be careful with interviews done only by text message
• Never share your bank login or Social Security number before a written job offer
• Look up the company name together with the word reviews before you start

Your first weeks on the job

Most typing jobs start with a short guide or training that explains the formatting rules, the software and the deadlines. Your first files may be checked by a reviewer who gives you feedback. Once your accuracy is high, you usually get more work and better-paying tasks.

Set up your home workspace

A simple setup is enough. Choose a quiet corner, a comfortable chair and a table at the right height so your wrists stay straight while you type.

• A computer or laptop that meets the employer's requirements
• A reliable internet connection
• Headphones if you do transcription work
• A comfortable keyboard, many typists work faster with a full-size one

Make the most of job alerts

Typing jobs fill quickly because people apply from everywhere. Set up job alerts for remote typing and data entry so new listings arrive in your inbox the moment they are posted, and apply the same day.

Typing jobs for moms and retirees

Typing is one of the few jobs you can do sitting down, at home, in short blocks of time. New moms often type while the baby sleeps, and retirees like that it keeps the mind busy without physical strain. If you need a job with flexible hours that you can stop and start, look for listings marked flexible schedule or project based.

Older adults who have worked in offices, schools or banks often already have the most important skill: careful, accurate work with documents. Employers value that more than raw speed.
