I would rather not deal with the public i like being by myself and working by myself. I have aspergers and add i am 32 years old and the work i currently do i enjoy is fun as a fuel island assistant and shop helper but i have alot of bad memorys working at that job place and that is why i want to get a new job.
I am comfortable interacting with the general public but i would prefer not to. I would love towork at petco because animals help me with my mild autism. I will keep my eyes open for new jobs on craigslist because it has been 2 years i have been working full time at the northwest cascade company. And here in 2024 my goal is to go to a new job =)
It's a plus to admit that you are capable of dealing with the general public, as am I. Yet I loathe it at the same time. I get that.
However most jobs inevitably require social interactions between both customers and coworkers. Though some can be more complex than others along such lines. The rest is largely a matter of technical skills one has or doesn't have relative to whatever job they are applying to.
The first job you list, would IMO probably be the most difficult. In theory a building inspector tends to do their job by themselves, interacting with no one. However it's a fact-finding job where in the event you cannot determine required building information, that you may have to seek the help of others to ascertain an answer.
Where situations can be unpredictable.
Beyond doing the basic job of inspection, one must be prepared to interact with others who must "process" the results of an inspection in some manner. Not only producing an inspection through the use of a computer application, but also on occasion to touch base with underwriters or whomever is processing an application for a mortgage in this case. Something I had to do as an insurance underwriter with loss control representatives who routinely inspected buildings I had to approve or disapprove for property and casualty insurance. So my perspective would be somewhat similar to most any mortgage company.
The second job seems a bit ambiguous, and that alone may indicate that while the job may involve "general labor", that it may also involve over-the-counter retail transactions with customers. It may also require some general knowledge pertaining to the equipment they rent to the public. And another likely aspect of such a job may require above-average physical fitness in terms of doing frequent lifting of certain types of equipment.
The last job as a trash collector would have the least amount of social contact, likely limited only to your coworkers and supervisors. Though these days it may well involve a necessary experience with proprietary trash collection heavy equipment, as well as operating a truck with any number of controls that automate a process once reserved for physically strong people. Though such jobs may pay quite well.
Conversely I suppose there is also a possibility that they are hiring people to do trash collection the "old school" way. Meaning you better be physically fit all the time. That "someone else" drives the truck and handles whatever automation that is required. Something that I am reminded of in taking on a job as a warehouseman for a major electrical parts distributor. Rough work that taught me to avoid manual labor. Even in my 20s when I was in my best physical shape ever.
