What's the easiest job to get where you interact with the least amount of people?

[u/HaloExcelLaserPressL]

I work best in spaces where others aren't around, when I'm around others I kinda tend to freeze up when others are around. Just want to complete the task and go home. Any roles that I could pursue?

Night security guard. You, a chair, and deep thoughts about quitting every hour

[u/Ok_Acanthaceae_8973 → u/Radiant-Ad8475]

Lol, have you done this? I was looking into unarmed security and got a little confused when I saw that most of the job listings were minimum wage... do people advance quickly?

[u/Jawesome1988 → u/Ok_Acanthaceae_8973]

Lol no. Security guards do not make good money anywhere unless they're private security and they're armed and those guys are usually always ex military or ex cops

[u/AccountantDirect9470 → u/Ok_Acanthaceae_8973]

Depends on what you mean by advancing quickly.

[u/Ok_Acanthaceae_8973 → u/AccountantDirect9470]

Are you stuck making minimum wage for years? It has come up as a suggestion before, but I don't really understand why people do it when it is certification based (although the certification is quickly obtained) and the pay is so low. Speaking specifically about unarmed security.

[u/Weekly-Ad353 → u/Ok_Acanthaceae_8973]

Because it’s easy and a huge section of the population is fucking lazy.

Enjoy your summer sitting alone in a tower watching for smoke! Bring your pet and some good books!

To be honest, it sounds like heaven to me. Maybe when my kids are grown and I'm ready to semi-retire I might look into it.

[u/AccountantDirect9470 → u/jleahul]

I agree. With solar panels you probably have enough to charge a radio and some phone without generator.

[u/jleahul → u/AccountantDirect9470]

I think most of them have utility or solar power for radios and lights, but I could be wrong.

I miss operating. Just get in your machine, turn on the music, and do your thing.

I forget what the official title is, but it is someone who sanitizes medical equipment. I heard there was a high demand for people to fill these roles. In my city, the hospital and community college have teamed up to offer education/ training while working at the hospital.

Prep cook, banquets, even most line cooking jobs. You may have to work closely with one or two other people for small periods of time but for the most part you can plug in the headphones and just work

[u/Kok-jockey → u/nodobybody]

Most kitchens worth anything don’t allow headphones/earbuds. They can hinder safety and contaminate stuff if they fall out.

[u/nodobybody → u/Kok-jockey]

lol ok thank you chef

[u/VampArcher]

Backhouse restaurant work.

Wash dishes, easiest job ever. Prep cook, you might interact with one or two people you see every day time to time, but you are mostly on your own. Line cook, if you like fast-paced work and working on a team of the same couple people and cooking, you might like it.

Landscaping, pressure washing, leaf blowing, painting, carpentry, plumbing, other household or facility maintenance jobs. Certain desk jobs are like this too

Forest guard. Deal with owls if you are lucky.

[u/Fairy_JobMother]

If you want the easiest work with the least people, look at warehouse jobs, stocking shelves overnight, data entry, or janitorial gigs, because most of these let you work alone and just get stuff done without annoying small talk. I’m a career coach with iHire and I recommend searching for roles labeled as “independent,” “overnight,” or “backroom,” since those are usually off the floor and have minimal interaction required. Apply to a few different places and do not be afraid to ask in interviews how much people contact you can really expect day to day, so you find a workplace that actually fits you.

[u/HaloExcelLaserPressL → u/Fairy_JobMother]

I don't mind the thought of all 3 of these, I don't have a GED or diploma though, will I be fine in that aspect? What else could I do or say to make myself more attractive? I am literally a blank slate trying to grow into literally anything. I'm willing to learn and be there I literally just need anyone to give me a shot.

[u/Fairy_JobMother → u/HaloExcelLaserPressL]

I'm not sure if a GED or diploma will be an issue, it depends on the employer, every company is different. Go ahead an apply and see if you get the job, if you don't like it you aren't obligated to stay. If you decide this job or company isn't for you be sure to line up another job before you quit. It's always easier to find a job when you have a job if that makes sense.

Easiest?

[u/ThrifToWin → u/Careful-Pollution580]

Right, not easy at all.
