An office clerk can do many things. He/she can be a file clerk, a data-entry clerk, an accounting clerk.

In the old days, clerks used to do lots of typing on typewriters.

I'm horrible typer as seen here.

Typing speed is not as required as it was in the old days.

You mght like being a file clerk.

Isn't that all electronic. Now a days?

I looked and there's no jobs for me in the area. Just openings for police, Doctor, account superviser and translator.

Nope....many things are still in paper. Quite possibly, there's even more paper than in the old days. There's lots of files to file---trust me. Check out any lawyer's office!

Yes, that sounds very similar to my job. 28 hours per week at $28 per hour and on top of that I still get a disability payment. No degree or experience required. The work is in an office so no danger or loud noises.

Maybe you should look into an entry level IT job like mine. They often allow people to work part time and there are people there without degrees, including my manager.

Didn't you get that job through a aspie employment program ?

I'm terrible wit computers lol I usually go to my sister when something goes wrong.

Yes I did. The same program exists in the states. The recruitment was run by an American who'd run the same program in many different locations around the US.

Very limited though

Could always give it a go maybe you could pop onto the job forum and get advice there??

This thread is just making me jealous. I would f*****g kill to be able to work 20 hours a week and make anything over minimum wage. I got honors in my psyc degree, would love to help do research and I am actually very good with interacting with random strangers for relatively short periods of time, and f*****g love writing research papers and doing research and the stats behind it. I have rudimentary programming knowledge. But the only work I could find in my field in the largest city in Canada was me basically volunteering for free and doing someone else's job for free when they didn't have the time, while I tried to get a reference. Even worse, someone else who had done even more schooling for the field that i was looking for only got an unpaid internship at that same medical office. f*****g 6 years of schooling for a field that wouldn't probably ever pay more than 20$/hour and still unable to find paid work.

Jealous of me ?


At least it's donut day at work

Ok, I'm NOT jealous of you if you find your job to be soul-sucking, then I'm happier living on government money with nothing to fill my time, nowhere I have to go so that I can maintain proper human contact without it being super awkward and forced for me, and not enough money to properly fill a lot of hobbies.

I can't eat donuts unless they're gluten free or unless I want to make myself sick. And the gluten free donuts I've had are crappy.

cavernio, unfortunately, it sounds like an unpaid internship is the way to get your foot in the door.

Maybe stupid to make a post in a thread that goes on already long time (with much emotion and discussion), but anyway, tell you my dreamjob, maybe something for you: something like transports and delivery, courier service, delivering mail, parcels, etc. It pays pretty bad, but it's with cars, you are usually on your own, you can put your favourite music on the car radio, you're on the road and not in a factory hall exposed to people and noises
(PS: I did not get such a job)

Me?
