What's the best senior citizen jobs to look for?

Looking for a job but being 58 doesn't give me many options. What would be a good job to apply for in this age category.
What's the best senior citizen jobs to look for?
I would suggest Walmart...
Reply:Take a tax course and become a tax preparer. It's flexible - FT/PT, days, evenings, weekends. It is a very seasonal business but it could turn out to be year-round. You can always fall back on it. You can have your holidays and summers free. Check out www.theincometaxschool.com for course options. Report Abuse

Reply:With spring coming up there will be lots of opening in greenhouses and retail .
Reply:It depends on what work history and training you have, the status of your health and energy level, transportation issues, and so many other things.


Make a list of your 'pluses' and 'minuses' and go from there.


A Wal Mart greeter might suit you to a tee....but then again it might be a waste of your talents.


It is true that the options are limited for seniors, but if you can learn to 'sell' yourself you will find an employer who is glad to get what you have to offer.
Reply:how about taking care of your grandkids,it's more fun
Reply:if you like to travel become a tour guide -- if you have a farming background - just help farmer in the summer -- if you are a engineer and do not mine short stints by your self try working projects for big construction firms -- or take a short course and become a cna!!!
Reply:Walmart hires anybody, same with shoprite





You could be the guy to greet people, or a bagger or cashier, it's all easy.

Try your local supermarket,DIY outlet.


If your just after filling time as opposed to making money,then charity shops are always in the need of help
Reply:It really depends on what type of experience you have had in the past. You can certainly get a receptionist job, a hostess in a nice restaurant, grocery checker, bank teller, sales in department store or think about opening your own business. Some of the businesses that hire older people are hospitals, senior buildings, doctors office, financial institutions, not for profits, churches, gorceries, discount stores, small retail stores and small companies.
Reply:Walmart, McDonalds, Krogers, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. I think alot of the retailers hire older people to work during the day. At Krogers, I have seen older people bagging the groceries. I just talked to a 58 year old friend of mine this week, and she just got a job as a "parts runner" for an automotive supply store. Apply at nursing homes and hospital for a job as dishwasher or laundry attendant. I don't know what your qualifications are, so you might be able to apply as a bank president. LOL Good Luck!
Reply:By your moniker, you're an outdoors person. Wrangler, right?





WM will hire you. But, you might want the garden center, or even chasing buggies on the parking lot. I've thought of that just for the exercise you get.





Another thought is to start a lawn care business. I know a fellow here in town that lost his high paying job at about your age. He's doing fine with his lawn business.





Get a CDL license and become a truck driver. They're begging for reliable, mature drivers. Both local and x-country.





Really, lots of stuff out there.





Good luck.
