Professional Services encompasses several sub-sectors including legal services, advertising and public relations, and business support. Business support includes administrative work, human resources functions, marketing, sales, and many other functions.

Customer Care Centers
Customer Care Centers also includes inbound call centers and other back office operations. These opportunities represent value-added services above and beyond the typical call center position and therefore pay higher average wages. Customer care staff require higher-level skills to manage customer complaints, concerns and issues and can frequently "up-sell" the customer to new products and services.
