Axion Data Services

Data Entry Contractor Requirements

As an independent contractor, it is expected you will NOT require any instruction regarding the basic use of your computer. As a MINIMUM, you and your staff must know how to do the following:

• Use Windows Explorer, including: create new folders; copy, move, rename and delete files and folders; and minimize, maximize and restore a window
• Install and run new software on your computer
• Remove software from your computer
• Send and receive e-mail, including attachments
• Use the Internet

These are base, minimum skills. Please do NOT submit your name to us unless you can do ALL of these tasks comfortably. We have absolutely NO tolerance in this area and will discontinue using your services if we determine you do not possess these minimum skills.

In addition to the above, you must be able to accurately and efficiently use the computer to enter data into programs developed for specific projects. You will be judged not only on accuracy, but also on how well you follow instructions.

System Requirements

You must have your own computer equipment. The MINIMUM configuration is:

• Pentium II or higher
• Windows 2000 Professional (not the Home version) or Windows XP Professional (not the Home version) are the only acceptable operating systems.
• 32 megabytes of RAM
• 100 megabytes of available disk space
• CD-ROM drive
• 15 inch monitor
• mouse and keyboard

Internet Connection

Because much of our work will require contractors to perform data entry over the Internet, all contractors are required to have either a DSL or Cable Modem connection to the Internet. This is a requirement. If you DO NOT have a cable modem or DSL connection, please DO NOT submit your information to us.

Voice Mail/Answering Machine

On some projects, we speak with our contractors daily, so you must have either a telephone answering machine or voicemail for those times when we are unable to reach you by phone.

Clean Criminal Background

In order to address the security requirements of our clients, each applicant must sign a release permitting us to perform a criminal background investigation, the results of which may in whole or in part determine your suitability as a contractor for Axion. You will not be asked to sign a release until we contact you directly.
