easiest job you've had/work ideas

jimmy2times

Hi.
Im looking to get back to work. I've been able to live off of savings for a while now but I really want to get back out there. I feel kind of embarrassed about not working. Its been about a year.

Problem is that I suffer quite badly from nerves/anxiety.
I also think I may have depression, although have never been too a doctor about it.

Things like the first day at a new job, or a job interview would usually make most people a little bit nervous, whereas I'd be unable to sleep all night and would feel pyisically sick leading up to and during the interview.
However, I am willing to go through this because i'd like to be earning money and have a regualr job.

I want ideas for jobs for people like me.
Anxious, a little shy, and more importantly......quite thick! I feel as though my brain is wired wrong sometimes. Very simple instructions can confuse me. I think that im not at all 'technically minded'.

I had a job with a friends dad last summer and all i did all day was wack hugh rocks with a sledgehammer and I LOVED it.
Didn't have to think, and i felt like I was being paid to be at the gym!

Most jobs through agencies are telephone jobs which is my worst fear.
I dont speak all that clearly. People often ask me to repeat myself. I cant slow down my rate of speech. I'd be sacked within days if I had a phone job.

I'd love some ideas - I guess lots of people would suggest a cleaning job. Im not ruling anything out, but I'd rather not if Im honest.
(although I did recently apply to de-ice planes but didn't hear anything back )

What other jobs would you look into in my position? I m not overly fussed about pay - I don't think people in my position can be! I only really have GCSE's (maths B, rest mainly C's)

regards. Hope to get some interesting ideas that i've not considered.

Why don't you seek help for your confidence, speech/communication, anxiety and depression related issues and improve your qualifications rather than restrict yourself to a narrow range of unskilled jobs that don't require any interaction with other people?

i Wouldn't know who to go to for help with speaking clearer and confidence, besides, that issue only really stops me from having a telephone based job - Not to mention that im sure it would take a long time to get fix (assuming it was possible) and cost money, and I need to be earning money sooner rather than later, ideally....

Do you drive? what about a driving job of some type?
Labourer / builders 'mate'?
Night shift shelf stacking at supermarkets or something similar?

• Warehouse Work
• Delivering Leaflets
• Working in a fast food outlet
• Laboouring
• Cleaning
• Charity Fundraising

The above are physically hard work, but if you work hard and show initiative it could get you a long way.

Farm work?
Fruit/veg picking (hard work but don't need lots of interaction with people).
Depends whereabouts you are, as there are regional variations in finding this kind of job as well.

thanks for the ideas, all.

Keep 'em coming.

What about factory shift work, working on a production line?

Errata

Care home worker? Very few blokes do that, and those that do are treasured.

Easiest job I ever had was putting tickets in envelopes for a company that sold concert tickets. You could safely turn your brain off for the day and chill out. I'd go back to it in a second if I could live off £6/hr
