Tired of working with people! Please help me fine some jobs that don't deal with customer service!

Question

I'm a college graduate (English: Writing and Communications) and I'm looking for a job like most grads. I love web and graphic design and I even started my own little online company for it with mostly word-of-mouth types of jobs. It's not a steady paycheck, though, so I need to get a job. I just can't seem to find a web/graphic design job in my area (Southern Massachusetts) that doesn't require 2 years of experience going in or some other IT experience.

I don't mind working with people in an office setting, but I'm so tired of dealing directly with customers-- lots of customers. Am I the only one who feels this way?? I keep getting stuck at these dead-end jobs, like waitressing or call centers because I don't have the experience. The call center was the worst... I was the only person I knew who was hoping to be part of a 10-car pile-up on the highway just so I wouldn't have to go in.

I've been trying to get some clerical jobs, but even those ask for 6-12 months of experience. Data entry sounded promising but most require experience and a typing certificate.

So my question is, are there any jobs out there that don't deal much with the public that also don't require years of experience just to get in? I'm not opposed to jobs that make you want to sleep or seem really boring. In fact, I welcome it if it means not working with people or talking to customers! The closest I've found is security guard on the 3rd shift but there's got to be something else out there. I just can't take people anymore. I really want to cry when I think about having to do this for another 40 years.

Answer 1

Jings! You have web/graphic design skills and writing skills and you want a job?? Why?

With those skills you should be heading over to elance.com or one of the other freelancing sites. Believe me you will be only too glad to deal with customers when it is YOU that's making the profit from them!

A guy called Brian McElroy who is about your age has created a video showing exactly how he used a similar skillset to your own to create a six figure income online within a few months.

There has never been a better time in history to start your own business and you have the skillset that is most in demand.

Stop wondering where you can get a job and learn how to market your services online.

There is still time to get into The Thirty Day Challenge which is a FREE and very intense 30 day course that will show you how to create your own web business, and that will teach you all about how to market yourself.  You can participate in the vibrant forum and very probably generate yourself some business, and make friends all over the globe at the same time.

You have an amazing opportunity staring you in the face. Go grab it!

Answer 4

Try to get an entry level tech job w/a company like user support, that way you'll only be helping people in the office.  Also check and see if the school you graduated from has any openings.  You just have to keep looking they are out there.  Your not alone in not wanting to do customer service, the good ones don't that's why we all have to deal w/stupid customer svc reps.  Oh - and don't be afraid to check out temp agencies, they may have a job you can do to get you some experience, and possibly a foot in the door.  Good Luck!
