Oh boy. It sounds like a temp agency would be a good place to start. I applied at one for summer work when I was a bus driver. They had me take a computer skills test, but instead of asking me to complete a task and seeing if I can the first time, they had a Windows emulator that tested me. It kept telling me to do tasks that had multiple methods, like closing a window, but it only recognized one. The woman saw my test scores, told me they were awesome, and asked what I was doing driving a bus, she could get me ten dollars an hour in an office!

Did she see that I was making over thirteen dollars an hour?

My test scores were not awesome, I only averaged 80%. My test scores were faulty. I do not have any idea what basic computer skill I supposedly missed!

Then they put me in a factory...
