Homeworker Keri Flying High

Keri Mcmullen Keri Mcmullen from Washington has been a Home Worker for Pattinson for the last 9 months and has proved an excellent addition to the Pattinson Home Working team. Her success has meant she has been able to use some of her commissions to pay for her first ever family holiday complete with spending money for the whole family, and is also looking to buy a larger home with the money she has coming in from being a Home Worker.

Keri says: "It all started when browsing Pattinson's website looking for houses and I came across the home working jobs.

"Until this point I had been a full time wife and mum having given up my career as a travel agent 9 years ago to start a family, but there is only so much housework a girl can do! When my last child started school I began getting itchy feet and was keen to get back to work. The problem being finding something that worked around the family, as I wanted to continue being with my children after school and helping with their homework etc. I didn't want to start sending the children to child minders or after school clubs. After an initial fruitless search for a suitable job, I was beginning to think it didn't exist, until I came across the Pattinson Home Worker opportunity.

"I immediately applied via the website and quickly received a telephone call from an existing home worker who talked me through the whole process of how to become a home worker and how easy it was to fit in around your family life - even the training was available at times to suit my schedule!

"As the day came for me to go along to the Newcastle Branch for my induction I remember being a bag full of nerves! Never having done anything like this for 9 years it felt a little daunting. My initial uncertainty quickly evaporated when I met Sarah Meakin [Head of Pattinson Home Working] and the rest of the people there for training and looked forward to the rest of the training.

"While I was going through my training I was popping into my local branch familiarizing myself with what went on behind the scenes, going to the customer care centre in order to gain a better understanding of Pattinson's industry leading computer system as well as going out with branch valuers on appointments. I loved having the opportunity to watch the "pro's" at work as I was picking up lots of hints and tips for when my training was finished and I was ready to carry out valuations myself.

"The day I finished my training was fantastic, I got the children off to school and was ready to go! I sold my first house that first week and I haven't stopped since!

"I have now worked for Pattinson's for 9 months and have been promoted to team leader which involves mentoring a group of Home Workers. I work about 12 hours a week on my own sales and was the top seller for the whole company last month!"
