CUPERTINO, Calif. — Tech giant Apple has announced plans to hire at least 50 people for work-from-home positions. The employees are referred to as At Home Advisors.

At Home Advisors, according to Apple’s website, will be part of a customer service group known as AppleCare.

Employees will be responsible for answering customer questions over the phone or by chat about Apple products, services and accessories. This includes software and hardware.

Products employees would be expected to know about the Apple Watch, iPhone, iPod, iPad, Mac, AirPort, Apple TV and iTunes.

Shifts would be during normal Apple support hours, but employees could be expected to work additional hours during holidays and training.

Part-time and full-time At Home Advisors are eligible for a benefits package.

“An ideal candidate has a passion for working with technology and helping people,” Apple said. “You must enjoy troubleshooting and working independently without in-person supervision. And you should have good multitasking skills to manage multiple systems and applications simultaneously.”
