Office Work

Post Reply New Topic

Hey, everybody, have you found many jobs in office work that aren't primarily of the receptionist or phone-customer-service variety. Back in the 90s I was getting temp and temp-hire jobs that were mostly typing (I type 70-80 partially because I am a pianist), creating spreadsheets, printing letters, mailing, filing, etc? I had to answer phones but not multi-line systems all day long, which is something I know I would freak out at. Customer service also requires dealing with irate people and problem-solving on the fly which is not my strong point. Maybe this genre of office job is obsolete, which is OK as I have a self-business and my wife actually is the opposite, she "gives great phone" (NT). Thanks

I've been working data entry for the past 34 years.

For second jobs, I've had receptionist-type positions. I did okay, but not great at them.

I did better when I was a "clerk-typist."
