First on our list is retail salesperson. Many retired people enjoy retail work because it's done in a pleasing environment and the work isn't very strenuous. The hours are often flexible and working in a retail store can be a great opportunity for light socialization among the community. This is also the case for the discount department store. Stores like Wal-Mart, K-Mart and Target often have lots of jobs because they have lots of different departments. A job seeker can sometimes get to choose which part of the store they'd prefer to work in.
Working as a professional driver is another job area some seniors may want to consider. If your eyesight is good and you are able to operate a motor vehicle you could possibly find work driving a shuttle for the hospital or delivering prescriptions for a local pharmacy. While you can also drive for food service establishments avoid delivering food at night. Every night delivery person is vulnerable to crime, but this is especially so for senior citizens especially if they deliver in high risk areas. Maybe you'd prefer to work at home.

They can help you figure out your strengths and help you find a job that uses them to their full advantage.
