Finding a legitimate remote job without prior experience is absolutely possible — but it takes knowing where to look and what to expect. The listings below are real, entry-level positions that have appeared on major job boards recently, along with honest notes on pay, fit, and location eligibility.
1. Appointment Setter — AmeriPro Roofing Type: Full-time, Remote Pay: $38,000–$45,000/year
This is a phone-based role where you contact homeowners to schedule roofing consultations. No sales experience is required, but comfort on the phone matters. AmeriPro typically provides scripts and onboarding support, making it manageable for first-timers. US applicants only.
2. Entry-Level Data Entry Clerk — Skillerszone Type: Fully Remote Pay: $50,000–$60,000/year (verify before applying)
Data entry and record management with paid training included. The salary range sits noticeably above the market average for this role type, so it’s worth reading the full job description carefully and confirming terms before applying. US applicants only.
3. Remote Healthcare Call Center Representative — Conduent Type: Full-time, Remote Pay: ~$16/hour
A customer support position handling healthcare-related inquiries. Conduent is a large, established BPO company, which means structured training and clearer onboarding than smaller outfits. Strong written and verbal communication skills are the main requirement. US applicants only.
4. Remote Live Verification Agent (Part-Time) — U-Haul Type: Part-time, Remote Pay: $16–$19/hour
Verifying customer information via phone and chat. U-Haul runs a well-known remote workforce program, and this role is one of the more flexible entry points — part-time hours make it viable alongside other work or study. US applicants only.
5. Patient Services Representative — Knowtion Health Type: Remote Pay: Not publicly listed
Administrative and customer support work within the healthcare sector. Knowtion Health is a smaller company, so roles here tend to offer more direct exposure and faster responsibility growth than corporate call centers. US applicants only.
6. Virtual Assistant / Customer Service Representative Type: Remote, Freelance or Part-time Pay: Varies ($10–$25/hour depending on platform and client)
One of the most accessible entry points into remote work. Tasks typically include inbox management, scheduling, data entry, and basic customer communication. Platforms like Upwork, Onlinejobs.ph, and Remote.co regularly list beginner-friendly VA roles — and unlike the positions above, many of these are open to applicants worldwide, including Kenya.
A note on location
Most US-based company roles on this list require applicants to be located in the United States. If you are based in Kenya or elsewhere outside the US, the most realistic paths into remote work without experience are:
- Virtual assistant roles on Upwork or Fiverr
- Customer support positions with global companies like Shopify, Automattic, or Invisible Technologies
- AI data annotation and training tasks on platforms like Scale AI, Remotasks, or Appen
- Remote internships listed on platforms like Internshala or LinkedIn with global eligibility
Each of these has a genuine track record of hiring internationally and at the entry level. Filtering job searches by “worldwide” or “open to all locations” on Remote.co or We Work Remotely will surface the most relevant results quickly.
This list reflects positions actively posted as of mid-2025. Job availability changes frequently — checking the linked employers directly or setting up alerts on LinkedIn and Indeed will keep the search current.
