Minimum Home Office Requirements:
- COMPUTER
- Minimum 2.0 Ghz Dual Core processor
- 2 GB RAM (some employment opportunities require a minimum of 4 GB RAM)
- 10 GB available hard drive space
- Sound card
- Windows 7, including Windows 8 and 8.1
- HEADSET
- USB
- Dual ear (designed to minimize audio interference from outside sources)
- Noise cancelling microphone
- INTERNET
- Minimum Internet speeds of 1 Mbps upload and 3 Mbps download. Regardless, your connection must in all cases continuously support outstanding call quality and high speed interactive response rates while working with client tools. When you connect to the internet, the upload and download speeds you experience will vary based on a variety of factors including the configuration of your computer, the number of concurrent users in your household, the speed of the websites you or others in your household are accessing, network or internet congestion outside of your household, and other factors. Stated speeds and uninterrupted use of internet service are typically not guaranteed by internet access providers. During peak hours, actual upload and download speeds will likely be lower than speeds promised to you in "as fast as" packages offered to you by your provider. Therefore, Sutherland Global Services cannot predict with certainty that the results from a speed test will, in fact, support the outstanding call quality or interactive speed requirements our Consultants need. Generally speaking, the faster the upload and download speed of your internet connection, the better.
