anyone know of any jobs in the PA area that don’t require too much in the way of physical labor?
My current job only works me one day a week part time, and I am having trouble getting to and recovering from it cuz my body is so broken!
I need something where I don’t have to move around so much. Any advice would be appreciated!

Some people purchase autos, they are not always $old in paperwork. People need a car in 1+-2 days to keep job. Ask CarMax about Auto Finance bill$ jobs... Accounting, math job$...(?)

Restaurant hostess might be a good job for you, or some restaurants have a carryout employee. Neither job requires a lot of heavy lifting. You'd be on your feet, but assuming you already are if you are a retail worker. Not sure where in Reading you are, but it's likely there are restaurants well within the range of public transportation.

Most restaurants are willing to train new employees! It's definitely worth checking out! Retail has a lot of transferable skills for many other customer service jobs. Front desk at a hotel, spa, doctor's office. Don't sell yourself short, it's never too late to learn something new!

My skills are primarily customer service based, with decades of experience greeting, assisting and speaking to customers. I can also type with a word count around 170 or so. I write prose for a hobby and have had some skill editing what I write, so I can do something in that area too. I have physical disabilities including chronic pain that keep me from being on my feet for too long, so I would like to find something where I alternate between moving and sitting, if possible. I don’t have a drivers license so I am limited to what I can get to via public transport or cab/Lyft. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up.
