what are your strengths / what kind of work would be ideal?

Post Reply New Topic

So, my best coping mechanism when things are hard is to pick a project and throw myself into it. Things are definitely hard right now. I have some ideas floating in my head, though, and I thought I'd try to put some of them to paper - it seems to help somehow.

The one I'm concentrating on involves basically making a business plan that relies heavily on labor - basically a company that employs lots of folks at a working wage but great benefits, and essentially operates to provide a local option for essential goods and services. I'm pretty good at breaking giant systems down into pieces and reassembling those pieces more efficiently.

But, given my current situation, a major goal is to employ folks who are typically 'less employable' in normal positions. I'm of the opinion there are a limitless number of strengths that can be played to, given an employer willing to work around weaknesses.

What sorts of tasks / skills / jobs do you excel at? In what sorts of situations have you thrived? Is it variable? Like, I'm capable of almost anything for a certain amount of time, but it's draining to work with the public or on the phone, and am more successful with jobs where most communication is handled via email.

Also, what sorts of 'accommodations' would be most helpful? I'm thinking of things like transportation and no-questions-asked sick days, as well as things like communications via multiple mediums, task based goals, and pretty much everything.

Essentially, I'm wondering what - in GENERAL terms - would make for a good working situation for folks here. If anyone has any quality links to information like this, that's great too.

I must confess that it's unlikely I'll be able to do anything useful with it - basically you'll just be giving me free therapy. Who knows, though, maybe I'll come up with something some organization will find helpful in developing support programs. Thanks guys!

I'm good at jobs that require a high degree of focus and planning. I write well. I'm not terrible at interviewing people if I need to. My weakness is that I give off weird vibes, I am very honest, and I am generally quiet in social situations unless I have a clear purpose for that communication and can plan it ahead of time. I enjoy large group discussions since they allow me more time to think about my contributions. If I don't have ample time to think, the things I say are often not representative of my thoughts, and I am misunderstood, which in turn makes me upset. I sound intelligent in a business meeting but more like a baffoon in hurried, unscripted phone calls.
I can do anything I set my mind to except for lifting very heavy and/or awkward objects, working with my hands both quickly and accurately, or having productive in-the-moment conversations about important things.

I do well with routine 1ce I've gotten used to things & feel I am doing them well & I take pride in my work. I have a great work-ethic; I never goof-off, I'm extremely reliable & loyal. I don't mind working long hours or coming in of my off days. I'm very eager to please management & coworkers & I've always been liked by the good workers. I look for more work to do when I'm finished with my task & I'll assist others when I can. I'm OCDish about doing things rite & I'd like to think I'm a good strategist when it comes to planning on the order or task or how to do things 1ce I've gotten used to the job & task; I'm sort of a strategist when working with others too by offering ideas/plans after I've gotten to know the job & people I'm working with well. I kind of prefer to work by myself more than with others but I don't mind working with others if they're good workers. I can talk & joke around some 1ce I've gotten comfortable but the level of it depends on the people I'm around but I'll work while I talk & I kind of keep others working instead of just talking.

I think my biggest weaknesses with employment are due to my disabilities. I have a rare severe low vision disorder; I'm extremely nearsighted even with glasses, I have some colorblindness & I'm sensitive to lighting conditions; I cant drive because of it. I have a tremor disorder that acts up when I'm doing things with fine motor-skills or nervous & causes my hands & arms to shake; it can also cause problems with talking when I do a lot of if for a while. I'm dyslexic & I really s#cked with school because of it so I never had any desire at all to go to college; I get things unrelated to school stuff confused too sometimes. I'm not good at deep/complicated thinking & have problems paying close attention for a while. I don't like high heat or humidity. My sinuses/allergies are easily bothered by things like pollen & perfume. I have a form of skin eczema that makes my skin more sensitive to things like chemicals. I'm not the best at handling sudden changes & I get confused & frustrated when I'm given mixed conflicting orders. I don't like being rushed or feeling a lot of pressure. I can have problems catching on to things at 1st & feel really unsure of myself when doing something new or different. I'm awkward & weird sometimes & I don't always make a good impression or say the rite thing; I'm also honest instead of a suck-up.

My 1st job was a dish-washer & I did that for 10months. Management liked me & thought I was the best they've seen but I hated the pressure when things got busy & the chemicals were very bad for my skin.
My 2nd job was doing floor-cleaning at WalMart. I had problems doing the advanced stuff like stripping/waxing, using the scrubbers & buffers but I did the other stuff really well & was good at assisting the people who were doing the more advanced stuff. I liked the job I was supposed to be doing when management left me alone to do it but there were lots of management problems & my department was dissolved into others & replaced by a contract crew shortly after I quit so I feel like I was forced out because I would of have problems working in other departments. I was there for 25months
My 3rd job which was my last was a custodian at a sporting-goods store. I didn't feel safe doing certain aspects of the job due to my tremors; for example climbing ladders to dust shelves, handling a box-cutter a lot to toss boxes is the compactor(I didn't have problems or mind that sometimes but having to do it a lot for a while made me nervous about it). I saw a neurologist to treat my tremors but the 1st med made me very sick & I was let go after being out for two weeks due to company policy. I gave up trying to treat the tremor after a while. I had been there for 3months.

I'm not sure what my ideal job would be. I didn't mind what I did at WalMart when management left me alone. I don't want to limit myself to that but I'm not sure what else I could do OK. I mostly want to have a job that I feel I can do well, is fairly routine, not be under a lot of stress or pressure, & be full-time with health insurance. I probably feel my disabilities limit me more than what they have to.

I'm planning on moving in with my girlfriend soon & she's on Section8 & SSI & food-stamps & other programs; I'm only on SSDI, Medicare & the Medicaid extra help program in my state but I'll be moving to her sate so I'll apply for the one there as soon as I can 1ce we've signed the lease for an apartment. I know some benefits like my Medicaid, my food-stamps if I get them, & her Section8 will be affected shorty after I start working because of my income. Unless I'll be making a lot; the money I'll be getting from work won't be that much more than help in benefits I'd be receiving if I wasn't. I'd like to be full-time(I'd be very willing to work over-time) & have health issuance through my work but my disability would be cut off after working for 9months if I've been making over a certain amount & I worry that I'll lose the job shortly after that. It takes time to apply for SSDI & Section8 & other things that would of been lost by me working & there wouldn't be much money saved up because the money made would of barely covered the cost in benefits being reduced or cut off rite after I started working. Then we'll just be really f#cked.

I miss working thou because it gave me something to do & I felt like I was making progress in my life. I really do want to work instead of feeling like I'm a burden on the hard-working taxpayer but I really need to make sure I can get the rite kind of job but I don't know what that is.
