I don’t have a degree but I’m good at lying on my resume, it was how I was able to get a job that I maintained for a year. I hate working as does everyone but I’m more vocal about hating it and often get myself into trouble. I don’t have college credits or degrees or any certifications or training. I’m autistic too so most the jobs I’ve had have been extremely uncomfortable. Ideally I would like to work with flowers even though I have no experience I really like them and think it’s quiet but I think these are few and far between. My unemployment runs out soon so I really need to find work but I just don’t know what to do.

No qualifications, no drivers license, no college degree, nothing just a loser NEET

If you don't have transportation and public transit is not available... maybe some "call center from home" type work?

Got a job at a the post office and have had to call IT Help and pretty sure that, in every call, I've heard background noises that were house noises.

I personally LOVED receiving pallets of stuff when I worked at a grocery store. Super satisfying to tear down a mountain of boxes and making everything go to their places.

Not sure its a common job, but I stumbled into a "work in a university's archeological collections department taking pictures of random samplings of whatever random things were in boxes held in storage from decades ago". Everybody hated doing the camera work because it was tedious and meticulous but kinda loved it.

Outside of me telling bosses, "if you put the tools in front of me with instructions on what to do with them and some way to talk to you when there's problems I cannot solve on my own, you'll probably never have a problem with me", none of my previous job experiences were applicable and I went in with no special training or certifications relevant to the position.
