Call Center Consultant
Average pay: $16.91 per hour
Working for a call center can be a fulfilling part-time job for seniors who enjoy problem-solving and chatting with others. Also, they can sit comfortably in a chair for the entire shift.
“Some of these positions are great for seniors because certain companies allow their employees to work from home,” said Valerie Streif, senior adviser at Mentat, a career service company. “As long as they know how to use a computer and phone, they’d be set.”
However, if you’re not looking for regular hours, this probably isn’t the best choice. Employers typically need a commitment to ensure proper coverage.
