Job Ideas

What does everyone do for work? I need some ideas

I work with archives, libraries and administration. It is usually office jobs that require academic skills and an eye for detail. My Aspergers makes it difficult to keep a steady job, so I have fired several times. But sometimes I get good jobs with relevant tasks. I hope my new job can provide that as well.

If you want good ideas for jobs, you could tell us more about your education and your general background.

Between jobs right now. I've left the military intelligence daycare centre and are actively looking for a full time employment in nearby towns, i got access to a bunch of large towns that i can commute to so hopefully it will work out.

I have signed almost all of a contract to work for a company, but they want exclusive rights to all software and functionality i write, including the stuff i do at home and outside working hours. I have a serious problem with that and we're one copyright clause away from a 3 month project employment, and i'm not sure if we'll continue so i keep looking for other positions. As the contract is today, i'm never signing it since it would prevent me from using my PRIVATE code that i have developed at home for any other job. Stuff like that may be ordinary in the Us but not in Sweden. Our private time is our private time. Period.

I've talked to a former colleague about work to develop custom security stuff, and next Wednesday i got an interview for a security monitoring position - hopefully with some team lead opportunities and development of security visualization stuff to. As for now, i do not know what i will be doing in 6 months...

I'm not just an analyst, over the years i've worked with databases, programmed a few languages, i've done UX design, networking, have written network protocols, created counter malware programs and done some cryptography as well. My main focus is Network Forensics but i really want to go towards Cyber Threat Intelligence.

I'm getting desperate to do something. I have a financial fund to survive for a while before i need to activate unemployment benefits, but it's getting REALLY tedious to rent movies on youtube and go shopping and wait for something to happen...

I have physical disabilities that really limit me with employment a rare low vision disorder that includeds some colorblindness & a tremor disorder that acts up when doing thing with fine motor-skills. I have worked 3 jobs total. My 1st job was a dish-washer at IHOP that a job coach type person lined up for me. I didn't like when we were really busy(like rush hour) & I didn't like the chemicals getting on me(I have skin allergies & eczema) but the job was OK otherwise for the most part. I left because I felt I could do alittle better. I wanted something with benefits, alittle higher pay, & where the work was alittle more challenging instead of just being rushed. I left after 10 months because I got hired at WalMart. I was hired for stocking but had problems with it cuz of my disabilities & nobody really training me so they transferred me to floor-cleaning after a week. I did pretty well there 1ce they found the rite training method for me. There was certain aspects I couldn't do but I did the basics really well & my supervisor liked how I was always working & trying. I left because of problems with management & my department was dissolved into others within a month of me quitting & a contract crew that was helping us out but screwing up alot, took over fully. I would of had problems working in other departments so I feel I was kind of forced out. About half a year later I was hired to be a custodian at a sporting goods store. The job was easier & less challenging than working at WalMart but I wasn't bossed around that much. I just sort of picked stuff to do & did it. I also wasn't as busy & I felt appreciated there. I didn't feel safe doing certain aspects of the job thou cuz of my tremors so I was trying to get treatment. One of the meds made me feel like I was having a stroke or something so I went home & saw my GP the next day. I was scheduled for tests & then more tests & noone ever really said what the problem was. I didn't go back cuz I didn't know what was going on with my health & I was let go after being gone two weeks due to company policy. They said they would take me back if I reapplied but I didn't see the point since I had issues with a couple essential tasks. I was there for 3 months.
I was on SSI before I started working & it was switched to SSDI a while after I was no longer at the sporting goods store.
