Chat moderator job My anxiety attacked last June. It is because my Aunt asked me why I didnt applied for a job online. I know she's asked that because of our financial status. I told her that I am not ready to work yet and also even if I have a laptop , we dont have an internet connection. Honestly even if I want to work now, my mind and my body didnt want to. Freelance job was not that easy. Every one said, its easy because you have at your own comfort because you're working from home but they didnt know its hard to focus. Let take it as an example. I am writing an article and then I heard my son crying. I already lost my attention and forgot the idea of what I am doing. Also, if you're planning to work as freelance you need to take a course or a seminar because other companies required it especially when you have no experienced in freelancing. Back to the topic. I explained my side to my Aunt, she said why not give it a try. So on that night I browsed some homebased job and also signed up to Upwork and Fiver. I also joined the facebook group of Upwork Philippines and from there I saw a post. In the comment section of that post I saw a job description which is Chat Moderator. The users give the details on how to apply and the list of the companies offering the job. I searched it on Google and I found the website named Cloudwork. I opened it and apply. I dont have any idea what is the task of Chat Moderator , I thought it like a non voice job. Well, its a non voice job but there's a twist. It is a fantasy based website so your task as a Chat Moderator is replying to someone in the US and the topic has some erotic mesaages. I continue to apply even the inner me said that just ignore that because it's not good, though it's not illegal but somehow in a conservative country like Philippines, its like below the belt. I answered all the questions on the assessment and I passed. They emailed me that I need to pass all the requirement and signed the contract. They also discussed the salary and where can I withdraw it. I started telling my husband about that but I hide the true description of the job because he will not like it and he will stopped me from that. I just say that its like replying someone on the US, something like that. Days passed and I didnt signed the contract yet because I am not sure if I can do it. So the ending. I didnt grab it. Months passed. Just this September. That Chat Moderator post appeared again on my timeline but now its a new company and it's like a Filipino Agency because I talked to the Team Leader on Skype when I inquire on that position. I tried to apply again. I completed the assessment and I passed again.
I waited for almost 1 month until they message me on Skype telling that Im in and I need to signed the contract and then I can start immediately.
Now I dont know what to do. Should I grabbed that job even if the description is like that? Do I take it on professional way? I mean trabaho lang. After all my identity is hidden on the client whom I will talked too. Or should I ignored it because it is not a right thing to glorify God. I know we are facing financial problems now but do I need to grabbed it and swallow my beliefs and faith as a Born Again Christian 😐 As of now. I have no reply on the Team Leader message for me.

Thanks
I think you should ask your husband regards with that and explain it to him. My mother also asked me to find a job too. Half of me says yes but half won't. 😐
Its hard to find a job nowadays 😐
Whooo. That's quite a dilemma. Id-superego-ego 🥺 I think you should tell your husband about it. He deserves to know the truth. At least you'll have someone who knows what will be the true situation and you won't feel uneasy hiding things from them.
Hindi ko na siguro igagrab 😐
Good choice. It's hard to work on something against your will and principles.
I have no idea that there are jobs like that. 😅.. It won't be easy for you to comply with that job if ever you will take it if you don't tell your husband. You will be hiding something from him that will make him mistrust you if he finds out. Better share it with him. If you find it against your belief, don't go for it.
Yeah. I will not grab it nalang. Hayssss. Hirap kasi makaanap ng freelance job
So the job description is about answering sexual content like that? You must tell your husband, do not lie to him especially the job description, what if he finds out and thought you are having chat mate doing malicious things because you didn't tell him. Don't stain your husband's trust in you, discuss it with him, and if he says no then you should not grab it most of all if it's against your beliefs and will.
I already told him after I ignored the first one. Yes, naglipana na ganong mga work, yung iba tru video call pa nga.
Oo nga nakita ko rin sa fb post yan, nakalagay pa *bawal sa maarti*
Actually, I joined a lot of mommy groups on Facebook and I found these jobs offered as chat moderators and in fact, there are more jobs being offered more than this. I was once interested in it, I'm eager to earn money to help my partner financially, but after realizing how it works, I can't swallow my principles and beliefs, although it was just fantasy-based or I may seem seen as a different person by the client, still I can't take it. I told my partner about it for his side and he said I don't need to do that thing just for money.
Exactly 😐 That's why I didn't grab it. I know we have the same feeling Mommy.
Ay may ganyang job pala 😲, baling etry, ano pong link nyan? Haha char lang, pero mas maganda if di nyo na tutuloy yan, maiba para sayo, baka pag simulan pa o ng away yan ng asawa mo po
Hindi ko nga tinuloy hehe.. hanap nalang ako nung mas better kahit medyo masakit sa ulo haha.
Yesss, pero mas malaki pa ata kinikita mo sa read.cash kesa sa ibang pmsite na pagkakakitaan ee hehe
Hinahanap ko kasi talaga e trabaho kaso nahihirapan utak ko intindihin pag puro English haha. Tapos need pa skills. Para sana sa bahay nlng ako at dina magtrabaho in the future
Ay sabagay, nahihirapan kapa sa englishbyang lagay na yaan? Haha,
Would probably try this when I'm single again 😂😂😂😂😂 i almost signed a contract for a job like this too but then i already had a bf then so i just left it unsigned
Seriously? What's the name of the company?
I forgot which company but i passed with flying colors, even with the erotic part (i liked erotica in art and writing even then) but yeah, bf.
Yeah. That final assessment when you need to answer erotic questions hahaha.
Don't do it Mamsh , my opinion lang po hehe You can try Remotask, fiverr, freeUp, usertesting for free lancing po
Yung remotask hindi kaya nung laptop ko requirements nila. 4gb lang kasi ram ng akin. Fiverr naman, grabe na competition dun hha. Upwork di ma approved account ko hha. Usertesting alam ko yun pero diko pa natry 😄 Ngayon yung Appen ko nag approved na. May mga.microtask ako dun ngayon saka yung transcription na masakit sa ulo haha.
