which job

Post Reply New Topic

There are several job openings at my university and I want to ask, which one of these would be best suited for a really clumsy person with bad communication skills and horrible with working with their hands?

Lab Attendant
Lab Assistant
Library Assistant
Food Service
Mover

I would suggest library assistant, provided you find a library thats suited to your interests and/or doesnt have much public contact.. There is a lot of behind the scenes things to do at a library and it can be very enjoyable if its related to your interests, and once its become known what your area of interest is, then you become the expert to go to on the topic.

You mentioned being clumsy so i wouldnt recomend lab work, even though there tends not to be much social contact dropping and breaking things is an issue

Library, hands down.

But I'd go for lab before food service, if you have a choice.
There will be a grad student running it and you just assist them.
If you like science, it's great.

Speaking of clumsy... don't get me started on how many things I've broken over the years!

But I haven't blown up a lab yet!

Would the lab jobs be lab work or actually just washing up and prep work? If casual work may be more washing up. Just a thought.
