Robin Schubert employs dozens of girls in different data entry jobs based in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. She has been a millionaire ever since she typed her one millionth word back in 1987. She was voted employer of the year last year, exactly five years to the day since she last won employee of the month in her last job as a typist. I made Robin up just before I started typing this paragraph and now she has taken on a life of her own, or has she?
Trying to find a data entry job in the Eastern Suburbs is a bit like trying to find a pin in a large pile of dried grass. It’s next to impossible, unless of course you hook up with an individual who knows her away around the traps. Robin has lived and worked in Sydney for the best part of ninety two years, so she knows how to go about getting work in the typing industry better than anyone.
