Hi Miranda! This post/info came at the perfect time for me! I am currently a stay at home mom looking for WAH positions and have experience as Account Manager for cosmetics and other products for Travel/Retail section of the industry. However, after having my daughter I decided to stay home. Can you recommend companies or websites where I can work from Puerto Rico and where I am not required SABRE or any other specific certifications? Starting a business could also be great in the long haul, but do these company provide the certifications necessary? Please kindly assess.
