    Suggestions for non-customer focussed positions

    I can't afford to not work anymore, but I really can't work with customers either. I've worked in retail, office, and aged care in the past - any suggestions on a job I could look for that involves the least amount of interaction with people?

    Hmmm...good question. What about data entry? I know someone who's mum used to be an aged carer and moved into the office to do data entry when it got a bit much for her caring.

    A lot of those jobs have been automated.

    Are internal customers OK. I work for a telco but not customer facing but still have to deal with lots of internal customers who can be just as annoying because they are still paying you in a round about way.....

    Maybe local government might be a good start too (although I dont know where they advertise except local papers) there are lots of 'ddesk' type jobs where there is little or no customer contact.
