I recently moved across Canada and the place that I’m in doesn’t have a huge amount of work options. I also do not want to end up homeless and need a source of income. I’ve been looking for work local but honestly dealing with people face to face stresses me the almighty fuck out. Working from home has never been an issue.

I’m just in a situation where I’ve got basically no work experience for the past couple of years. I’m trying to find work online in Canada but I don’t know where in the fuck to start. Stress levels are pretty stupidly high at the moment too and I’m just trying to figure out something.

    Do you have any qualifications you could use? Which fields are you interested in?

      Honestly, no. I worked at a call center like 10 years ago but that’s about it. I’m interested in whatever will pay me honestly. I don’t expect to enjoy work, never have. I can pick up anything relatively quickly but I am absolutely and functionally worthless as a human being. I have nothing beyond basic sales/customer service/retail and even that stuff is outdated by nearly a decade. I was homeless for a long time and didn’t get out until a relatively short while ago. Then I was dealing with health issues. Honestly I still am but income support/disability isn’t enough to live off of nevermind fix the problems I have.

      I’m just stuck in a situation where I don’t know what the hell to do, where the hell to go and I’m a 30 odd year old dude with no real work experience or anything useful. This is why I’m so desperate I’m making a random ass lemmy post that is 100% going to end with me rightfully being mocked for being a loser.

        First of all, you shouldn’t be mocked for this post. Some trolls might try to, but they’ll get the boot quickly.

        Second, sorry to hear, you seem to be in a bad situation. I’m not really aware of the social support services in Canada, maybe someone else can give some pointers to you.

        Lemmy.ca might have a community where you can crosspost this, I guess they would be more aware of who could help you.
