I've been working with Vocational Rehabilitation to get a job for almost a year, and I finally landed a job at Fred Meyers. I was placed in charge of the recycling machines, but had to quit after three days.
I can't process very much information at one time, and attempting to do so for extended periods of time gives me a headache, and eventually I become sick. The first day of work was okay, the second I had a headache for the majority of my shift, and I felt sick the entirety of the third day. I was too sick to work the fourth day, and had to quit, as I was told there were no easier jobs available. Does anyone have suggestions for jobs without much multitasking? I was only working four hour shifts, and for three days before I reached my limit. On top of that, I didn't have any anxiety or other distractions, meaning I was doing pretty much the best I could, and it still wasn't enough. Vocational Rehab doesn't offer any advice for what jobs for me to do, they just help me with jobs that I choose, but I'm out of ideas, hence why I'm posting here. Thanks! |

It's not really 'vocational rehab' if they don't work to assess the work environment and work with you and the employer to match the demands of tasks to your level of abilities. They need to do a better job.

How about data entry?

Data entry takes a long term level of concentration to maintain accuracy, which is difficult for people who struggle with maintaining attention on a single thing for an extended period of time. For me, staring at and or monitoring one thing for too long is killer.
For me, hotel cleaning was good because each room was generally the same routine, but finishing a room and moving to another sort of "refreshed" the process so it didn't feel so much like one extended process. So maybe cleaning a small facility? I see cleaning job listings all the time for short, part time shifts on indeed in my area. (Like 2 hrs a day, mon-fri for example) I also find stocking doable because all I have to do is scan the item and it tells me where to put it lol, so I get to move around, not do too much multi-tasking, and nothing bad happens if I can't figure out where the item goes. I just ask someone else or wander a bit to find it, since no one is watching you closely, atleast not in my experience. Stocking in smaller stores or stores with less variety in products is easier. I stocked in a craft store. Everything was crafting materials lol. |
