The employment you are looking for -- how many hours a week?
Are there any areas that you would not consider? Retail, driving, outside work in the elements

Standing for a long time might be iffy, moving around on my feet no problem. likely 25 hours a week, been a while since I had a real job, part time might be a good idea to start with, thanks

Don't worry if your background isn't slimy enough to make the grade. All you need is a few friends that will vouch for your unethical (bordering on criminal) behaviour and you will be a shoe-in for any Liberal or NDP riding association.
The pay isn't half bad and it comes with a full pension after 5 years service.

Personally, not working with the public would be high on my list of job criteria.

I have a fabulous voice, I know I could make an excellent male receptionist.

Amazon is hiring drivers for delivery. $22 per hour, write off gas and mileage. Usually start off with 3-4 hours worth of deliveries that take 2-3 hours to deliver. If you don’t feel like working, don’t reply to the offers. Usual time are 5-9 pm or 4-8 pm, 5-8 pm. Not sure how you get earlier shifts, but think that it has to do with seniority.

I can understand, working for a living is differcult. When we set up our retired fund and rest assured that we will have the money to retire along comes something to screw it up. I recently was informed that I made to much money to quaify for government assitance program, money that I earned myself and put away, after paying taxes on it. And some greep who has done nothing to ensure that he has a life after retirement does. But he has seen the world, forgot that, does not remember anything about it, but he has seen the world. Anything goes.

A lot of financial advisers are scammers, nothing more. I know several people who ended up with substantially less in their retirement fund than they should have, including one who had less than the principal. the "advisers" on the other hand have gotten rich off the fees.

Why not go do some light sales again then?

Could do well in RV sales. Pretty much just work 4 good months a year... take winters off. If you are a half decent salesmen you can easily be supplementing your income during those months with an extra $5-10k+ a month

Yes, Amazon announced last week that they will now be hiring 600 full and part time people for their new facility in Nisku https://www.google.ca/amp/s/globalne...struction/amp/ most reports are they are a decent company to work for.
