Jobs that require no heavy lifting

Job hunting right now.. pretty difficult when your partially disabled.
All my work experience is labour related.

What jobs can I apply for that do not require heavy labour, and is decent paying.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of disability do you have?
Also, how long are you wanting to go through training in order to qualify for said job? (months... or years?)

try to get a job at rogers call center, its around $20/hour and you just talk on a phone and type on a keyboard all day ... basically what most of us do all day anyways with the addition of a headset on our head and less memes/swearing.

Rogers sucks.. Pays no more than $17 an hour, and I hear the turnaround there is nuts. But you are on the right path. Look for call center work, collections, etc

It starts you off at $16.XX. My gf worked there for 4 months before hopping off the wagon. Training is 3months and they make you go through a ton of assessment every week, if you fail, they'll let you go. She hated the job, people are just constantly bitching at you.

Work for BC liquor. They provide free active rehab sessions if youre an employee as well so it will help you out with that. The workers that work in the company all suffer from a ton of injuries and since its a government job, they get a ton of compensations, regular pay raise, seniority, etc. there are a ton of jobs available so i recommend checking it out.

If youre willing, you could study up for school and perhaps specialize yourself in a particular industry? Not sure what ur interests are
